pearance, not to mention their constant and rapid mo-
tion around the nucleus. Indeed, the orbiting electrons in the atom are

regularly described as an "electron cloud" in contemporary scientific lit-
7
erature. The concept of an electron cloud is used in molecular physics,
chemistry and quantum chemistry to describe the way they move in a
manner similar to a cloud around the atomic nucleus. 8
It is impossible to understand the structure of the atom and estab-
lish this cloud-like appearance of electrons without such high-tech de-
vices as electron microscopes. The fact that the information provided
fourteen centuries ago in the Qur'an matches the discoveries of ad-
vanced, present-day technology is one of the miracles of the Qur'an. It
is also a manifestation of our Lord's titles of Alim (He Who knows all
things), Fatir (the Creator) and Halik (He Who will see and arrange the
existence of all things and Who creates accordingly, He Who creates
from nothing).

The rapid movement of electrons around the
atom leads to their resembling clouds.
