The believer needs to look attentively at creatures of God to increase his faith, mountains are wonderful creatures which have many benefits….let us read and see some wonderful photos….

Scientists confirm that the mountains are so important to our earth also they are a clear manifest that Allah is the great creator ….also scientists tell us that these mountains have many benefits such as:

The mountains contribute in fixing earth crust because its long and deep pegs, God says: (Have we not made the earth as a bed*and the mountains as pegs?)(Sûrat An-Naba’- verse 6-7).

It contributes in forming the clouds and pushing winds because of its aerodynamic shape. So, Allah made a clear link between mountains and rains, Allah says: (He has created the heavens without any pillars that you see, and has set on the earth firm mountains lest it should shake with you. And He has scattered therein moving (living) creatures of all kinds. And we send down water (rain) from the sky, and we cause (plants) of every goodly kind to grow therein.)(Sûrat Luqmân- verse 10).

Also it contributes in sterilizing and purifying the water because of its different layers, God says: (And have placed therein firm, and tall mountains, and have given you to drink sweet water) (Sûrat Al-Mursalât-verse 27).

These mountains are considered to be an important warehouse to store ice as a source of sweet water, God says: (And it is He who spread out the earth, and placed therein firm mountains and rivers) (Sûrat Ar-Ra‘d- verse 3).

For thousands of years, the man used these mountains as a place to protect him from wild animals, cold and dangers, God says: (and has made for you places of refuge in the mountains) (Sûrat an-Nahl- verse 81).

The mountains contribute in balancing the vegetation cover because its shape and its ability to store water, God says: (And the earth we have spread out, and have placed therein firm mountains, and caused to grow therein all kinds of things in due proportion.)(Sûrat A-Hijr- verse 19).

It contributes in affixing the earth ,also its shape allow valleys to formed which enable rivers to flow, God says: (And He has affixed into the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you; and rivers and roads, that you may guide yourselves.) (Sûrat an-Nahl- verse 15).

Without mountains, roads wouldn't be existed as a way of communicating people around earth as by studying the history of forming the earth through millions of years , we will see the great importance of the collision of the earth plates which formed the mountains to enable the formation of wide and paved roads which facilitates transportation and moving people through thousands of years. God says: (And we have placed on the earth firm mountains, lest it should shake with them, and we placed therein broad highways for them to pass through, that they may be guided.)(Sûrat Al-Anbiyâ’-verse 31).

These mountains are 4418 meter of height, it lies in California in the United States of America, it was formed because the movement and collision of earth plates which caused these high mountains! Any one see the colors of these mountains should remember the divine saying: (and among the mountains are streaks white and red, of varying colors and (others) very black.)(Sûrat Fâtir-verse27).

A mountain of basalt in island of Iceland, scientists say that these pillars are identical and it were formed by the lava, also they confirms on the importance of these pillars for life on earth.

After all of the above we can understand the meaning of the holy verses, God says: (And after that He spread the earth *and brought forth there from its water and its pasture*and the mountains He has fixed firmly*(To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle.)(Sûrat An-Nâzi‘ât- verse 30-33).
