Celestial matter was in form of gaseous matter.

The word ‘smoke’ is more appropriate for this description.

MOUNTAINS ARE LIKE PEGS MOUNTAINS ARE LIKE PEGS AND FIXED FIRMLYAND FIXED FIRMLY

Radius of Earth is 3,750 mile and the crust, on which we live is very thin ranging from 1

to 30 miles which results in high possibility of shaking.

Dr. Frank Press in his famous book ‘Earth’ writes: “Mountains play an important role in

stabilizing the crust of the earth”.

““Have We not made Have We not made the earth as a wide bed and the earth as a wide bed and

the mountains as pegs?”the mountains as pegs?”[An'Naba 78: 6-7][An'Naba 78: 6-7]

BARRIER BETWEEN SEAS BARRIER BETWEEN SEAS A barrier divides the two seas as such that each sea has its own temperature,

The unseen barrier serves as transitional homogenizing area for two

waters. Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean

at Gibraltar.

““He has let free the two seas meeting He has let free the two seas meeting together: Between them is a Barrier together: Between them is a Barrier

which they do not transgress.”which they do not transgress.”[Ar'Rahman 55 : 19-20][Ar'Rahman 55 : 19-20]

FORBIDDING PARTITION BETWEEN FORBIDDING PARTITION BETWEEN SWEET AND SALT WATER SWEET AND SALT WATER

The pycnocline zone serves as forbidding partition in estuaries

where sweet and salt water meet. This pycnocline zone has a

salinity different from both the sweet and salt water.

(Oceanography, Grass, Introductory Oceanography, Thurman)

And it is He Who has let free the And it is He Who has let free the two seas, one palatable and sweet, two seas, one palatable and sweet,

and the other salt and bitter, and and the other salt and bitter, and He has set a barrier and a complete He has set a barrier and a complete
