God be he exalted says: (And
He has affixed into the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should
shake with you; and rivers and roads, that you may guide yourselves.)[Surat An-Nahl, verse: 15].
The explanation of the verse:
Al-Imam Al-Tabary may God have mercy on him said: God let the mountains fixed in the earth and (standing firm) means fixed.
And
this verse includes an indication to the formation of mountains by
casting from the bottom to the top as these mountains are protruded to
help in stabilizing the earth so as not to be shaken or disturbed.
Scientific facts:
It
was newly discovered that the mountains are formed in several ways but
all depends on the prominence of the mountain's substance and its
accumulation to the top like a man who throws a quantity of dust for
example until it forms a hill.
Scientists
say that the mountains contribute significantly in fixing the earth
crust it has a shape like a peg, so they work on balancing the earth.
An
image taken by NASA, it shows the mountain chains and they say that
without these chains the earth wouldn't have been balanced. Therefore
God be he exalted said: (And He has affixed into the Earth Mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you; and rivers and roads, that you may guide yourselves.)[Surat An-Nahl, verse: 15].
The point of inimitability:
The
Quran talked 14 centuries ago about the importance of mountains in
fixing the earth and about their formation by casting and it was shown
that this is scientifically true and that there is no contradiction
between Quran and modern science.
And
this indicates that the Quran is geologically miraculous because at the
time of descending down of Quran, no one was aware of these scientific
facts that weren't discovered except in the 20th century.
