While talking about rainbows, we always see them

as semicircular. However, this is not true, since the rain-
bow is actually a circle. However, it is not possible to

observe all of this circle from the ground. Therefore, we

always see the rainbow as semicircular. Only from an

aeroplane could we see the rainbow as a circle.

The centre of the rainbow's circle is always a

point exactly opposite the Sun. When the Sun rises

higher, the rainbow also moves higher to remain at
the level of the Sun.

Our Lord creates this colourful and enchanting

sight of a rainbow especially

so that we can take pleasure

from the beauties of Earth,

and reflect on His power and

attributes. Allah has the

power to create an infinite

number of beautiful things.
Therefore, this does not sur-

prise us but makes us appreci-

ate Allah better and be more

grateful to Him.
