The
colors of the mountains change as they are affected by water and its
nature and the nature of the surrounding environment like the
temperature, therefore God be he exalted said: (See you not that Allah
sends down water (rain) from the sky, and We produce therewith fruits of
various colors, and among the mountains are streaks white and red, of
varying colors and (others) very black).
The holy verse:
God be He exalted says:(See
you not that Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky, and We produce
therewith fruits of various colors, and among the mountains are streaks
white and red, of varying colors and (others) very black), And likewise
of men and Ad-Dawâbb [moving (living) creatures, beasts], and
cattle, are of various colors. It is only those who have knowledge among
His slaves that fear Allâh. Verily, Allâh is All-Mighty, Oft-Forgiving)
[Surat Fatir, verses: 27, 28].
The explanation of the verses:
Al-Imam Al-Kortoby may Allah have mercy on him said: (And among the mountains are streaks white and red, of varying colors and (others) very black)
means that the mountains differ in color and in some of them there are
ways of different colors as white, various shades of red and dark black.
Of
course those two verses talk about the impact of water on the color of
the rocks and mountains. There is a difference in the colors of
mountains and the colors of humans as well. And this is only perceived
by scientists as they fear Allah more than others, therefore God be He
exalted said: (It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allâh).
Scientific fact:
It
was recently shown that there is a continuous change in the mountains
colors due to the rain that falls on it, even that some scientists say
that the change in the color of rocks in mountains is due to the nature of rain and their interaction with this rain.
The
colors of mountains are also affected by the surrounding environment,
temperature and the weather conditions surrounding this mountain. And we
couldn't see these changes immediately because it occurs at intervals
of time ranging from thousands of years to million of years.
The point of inimitability:
When the holy Quran talks about the mountains colors (And among the mountains are streaks white and red, of varying colors and (others) very black) and related them with the water falling on them (See you not that Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky),
then it is a wonderful scientific sign of the continuous change in the
mountains colors. This fact was recently known and this testifies to the
truthfulness of Almighty God's sayings: (We
will show them Our Signs in the universe, and in their own selves, until
it becomes manifest to them that this (the Qur’ân) is the truth. Is it
not sufficient in regard to your Lord that He is a Witness over all
things?) [Surat Fussilat, verse: 53].
