Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

The illustration depicts the
movement of electrons resem-

matter by joining atoms toget-

may collapse after an explo-
sion, but the atoms remain
unwavering in their unity.
Indeed, the situation re-
mains the same whether it is
a delicate flower or a tough piece of metal: the atoms that constitute
matter do not fall apart or stray off-orbit. Therefore, even the most frag-
ile-looking piece of matter is actually very solid in its Creation. The wis-
dom behind the reference to "everything" in the verse may well lie in
the fact that the atom is the basis of all matter.
Very solid structures are even to be found in nuclear bombs, which
work by splitting atomic bonds. In nuclear fission, the atomic nucleus is
split and then divided into two smaller atoms. In the nuclear fusion
technique, two small atoms are combined together to make one larger
atom. For example, solar energy is manufactured in this way, by hy-
drogen being turned into helium. As a result, there is a constant cycle
from matter to energy and from energy to matter, and there is a gener-

al solidity in the universe at the atomic level.
If one examines this verse of the Qur’an further, there may also be
reference to the clouds of electrons around atomic nuclei, whose move-
ment is likened to "mountains... going past like clouds." (Allah knows
the truth.) The electrons in their orbits, in the atoms, that make up the
“mountains” strongly resemble a cloud – this can be said about their ap-
