Page 63 - Allah's Miracles in the Qur'an

Harun Yahya

Most people looking at the sky do not think about the protective aspect of
the atmosphere. They almost never think what kind of a place the world
would be like if this structure did not exist. The above photo belongs to a
giant crater caused by a meteor that fell in Arizona, in the USA. If the atmos-
phere did not exist, millions of meteoroids would fall to the Earth and the
Earth would become an inhabitable place. Yet, the protective aspect of the
atmosphere allows living things to survive in safety. This is certainly Allah's
protection of people and a miracle proclaimed in the Qur'an.

The energy transmitted in just one of these bursts detected in
recent years was calculated to be equivalent to 100 billion atomic
bombs, each akin to one dropped on Hiroshima at the end of World
War II. Fifty-eight hours after the burst, it was observed that the mag-

netic needles of compasses displayed unusual movement and 250 kilo-
metres (155 miles) above the Earth's atmosphere, the temperature sud-
o
o
denly increased to 2,500 C (4,532 F).
In short, a perfect system is at work high above the Earth. It sur-
rounds our world and protects it against external threats. Centuries
ago, Allah informed us in the Qur'an of the world's atmosphere func-

tioning as a protective shield.
