Soil Vibrates by Water

This is unknown scientific fact in the time of revelation of the Qur'an, but god be he exalted told us about this fact in an eloquent words as an evidence that Qur'an is miraculous, let us read….

Anyone who looks attentively at the creatures of god especially plants that gives us food , should be astonished by the way these plants grows ,also he or she may wonder if he or she knows that the basic material in all plants is water.

When rains fall down on the ground it mixed with soil which produce an attraction and pushing forces between water atoms and soil atoms. As a result of that volume of soil increases.

Today, this is a very clear scientific fact, but no one knew anything about this fact at the time of revelation of Qur'an , but this noble book told us accurately about these phases in a scientific sequence , god be he exalted says O mankind! If you are in doubt about the Resurrection, then verily We have created you (i.e. Adam) from dust, then from a Nutfah (mixed drops of male and female sexual discharge i.e. the offspring of Adam), then from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood) then from a little lump of flesh - some formed and some unformed (as in the case of miscarriage) - that We may make (it) clear to you (i.e. to show you Our Power and Ability to do what We will). And We cause whom We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed term, then We bring you out as infants, then (give you growth) that you may reach your age of full strength. And among you there is he who dies (young), and among you there is he who is brought back to the miserable old age, so that he knows nothing after having known. And you see the earth barren, but when we send down water (rain) on it, it is stirred (to life), and it swells and puts forth every lovely kind (of growth)) (AL- Hajj- verse 5).

We have to look at the precise expression in the word (barren) as there is a continuous movement in the dry land and soil atoms moves but its movement is barren which means that it is so weak. But when water fall down, soil atoms starts to vibrate (and then it stores a large number of water to secure the needed food for plants.

God be he exalted put the expansion and water storing features in soil and without this feature life wouldn't be able to continue. Also the noble verse talked preciously in a scientific way about germination phases starting from sending water down, mixing water with soil atoms, vibration of soil atoms and expansion of the volume of soil.

After that the grains in the soil starts to absorb water and also it expands and grow to start the germination process. Qur'an summarized all these phases in only three words (stirred, swells, growth).

God's mercy put an important characteristic in the soil which is the ability to store water and also its atoms vibrates when it mixed with water which helps plant to grow. Also there is another important characteristic which is the ability to store grains and to keep it without being spoiled for a long time. Without this feature earth would be a desert with no life on it. Thanks god for these graces.

The existence of this scientific fact in a book revealed 1400 year ago is evidence that this book is sincere. Therefore we can say that expressions of Qur'an are very accurate from the scientific and linguistic point of view which testifies that this great book is miraculous. God says it is an honorable well-fortified respected Book. Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it: (it is) sent down by the All-Wise, Worthy of all praise (Allah) (Fussilat- verse 41-42).
