We placed firmly embedded mountains on the earth, so it would not
move under them, and We put broad valleys as roadways in it, so that
perhaps they might be guided. (Surat al-Anbiya', 31)
It is Allah Who created the heavens with no support – you can see
them – and cast firmly embedded mountains on the earth so that it
would not move under you, and scattered about in it creatures of
every kind. And We send down water from the sky and make every
generous species grow in it. (Surah Luqman, 10)
Remember when We made the covenant with you and lifted up the
Mount above your heads: 'Take hold vigorously of what We have
given you and pay heed to what is in it, so that hopefully you will
guard against evil.' (Surat al-Baqara, 63)
Remember when We made a covenant with you and lifted up the
Mount above your heads: 'Take hold vigorously of what We have
given you and listen.' They said, 'We hear and disobey.' They were
made to drink the Calf into their hearts because of their disbelief. Say,
'If you are believers, what an evil thing your faith has made you do.'
(Surat al-Baqara, 93)
There is nothing wrong in seeking bounty from your Lord. When
you pour down from Arafat, remember Allah at the Sacred Landmark.
Remember Him because He has guided you, even though before this
you were astray. (Surat al-Baqara, 198)
When Ibrahim said, 'My Lord, show me how You bring the dead to
life.' He asked, 'Do you not then believe?' He replied, 'Indeed I do! But
so that my heart may be at peace.' He said, 'Take four birds and train
them to yourself. Then put a part of them on each mountain and call to
them; they will come rushing to you. Know that Allah is Almighty, All-
Wise.' (Surat al-Baqara, 260)
