Collection: Mountains Movement
Modern Geological Understanding has established that continents and mountains are not static but are constantly moving. This movement is due to the tectonic plates on which they sit. These plates move very slowly but persistently over the Earth's molten mantle, a process known as "continental drift" or "plate tectonics."
Here's what the Quran states 1400 years ago:
[Quran 27:88]
"You see the mountains and think they are firmly fixed: but they are moving away just like the clouds are moving away: (such is) the artistry of Allah [God], Who disposes of all things in perfect order: for He knows all what you do."
Or were they created by nothing, or are they [their own] creators?
[QURAN 52:35]
Or did they create the Heavens and the Earth? Rather, they are not certain.
[QURAN 52:36]
Or do they possess the treasuries of your Lord, or are they in control [of everything]?
[QURAN 52:37]
Or do they have a stairway [into the Heaven] upon which they listen? Then let their listener produce a clear proof.
[QURAN 52:38]
