[ltr]Do you know what the weight of the atmosphere is? Can it fall on earth? What makes it stable and attached to earth? It is the gravity and also the sickness of the atmosphere ….[/ltr]

[ltr]My dear, to understand the word of "sky" which is mentioned in the Qur'an, we have to know that the atmosphere is our sky. In the Arabic language "anything above you is your sky", it contain clouds which are the source of rains, God says And we sent down from the sky water (rain) in (due) measure, and we gave it lodging in the earth, and verily, we are Able to take it away.)(Sûrat Al-Mu’minûn- verse 18).[/ltr]

[ltr]The sky(Heaven) extend to billions of light years and all seen galaxies and cosmic dust are in the heaven of the world, but the Qur'an told us about the possibility that the sky falls down on our heads.[/ltr]

[ltr] [/ltr]

[ltr]At the time of the descending of Qur'an no one got the knowledge that the atmosphere is so heavy and no one knew that the elimination of that atmosphere may cause many dangers. The Qur'an told us about this reality in a great verse when Allah reminds us with his graces and how He Almighty keeps that cover from elimination.[/ltr]

[ltr]At the time of the descending of the Qur'an no one knew that the air has a weight and if we calculated that weight we can find that it is up to 5 billion billion kilograms! Therefore the atmosphere which is our sky is so heavy.[/ltr]

[ltr]Imagine, what may happen if a stone to weigh 5 billion billion kilograms fall down on earth? The one who holds that atmosphere is Allah as He exploited the rules by his unlimited power, for example if the density of the atmosphere is less than it is ,so it may evaporates and run away in the space and if gravity is less than it is the earth may not be able to hold the atmosphere. Hence Allah almighty selected the right size and weight for earth to keep the atmosphere tenacious. Because of that we can understand the holy verse He withholds the heaven from falling on the earth except by His Leave. Verily, Allah is, for mankind, Full of Kindness, Most Merciful)(Sûrat Al-Hajj- verse 65). We can understand this verse in two ways with no contradiction between science and Qur'an:[/ltr]

[ltr]1. If we understand the sky (Heaven) as the atmosphere it will be right, as Allah keeps it from falling on us by His power as if it did the life will be terminated.[/ltr]

[ltr]2. If we understand that the sky (Heaven) is the outer space it will be right as the collision of any space rocks or meteors will cause a destructive disaster. The scientists say that the possibility of any object to collide with the earth is so high, but the power of Allah almighty keeps our earth from the outer dangers and the inner dangers.[/ltr]

[ltr]We can only say, thanks God for your graces: (Verily, Allah is, for mankind, Full of Kindness, Most Merciful.) (Sûrat Al-Hajj- verse 65).[/ltr]
