The document discusses how the Quran described the seven layers of the earth's atmosphere over 1400 years ago, long before the layers were discovered by science in the 20th century. The Quran states that Allah "created everything on the earth for you and then directed His attention up to heaven and arranged it into seven regular heavens" and that "He has knowledge of all things." It also says that Allah "turned to heaven when it was smoke. In two days He determined them as seven heavens and revealed, in every heaven, its own mandate." Modern science has since discovered that the earth's atmosphere is made up of seven distinct layers, each with its own purpose, matching what was described in the Quran. This shows that
Seven layers of atmosphere
- 1. SEVEN LAYERS OF ATMOSPHERE “It is He Who created everything on the earth for you and then directed His attention up to heaven and arranged it into seven regular heavens. He has knowledge of all things.” (The Qur'an, 2:29) “Then He turned to heaven when it was smoke. In two days He determined them as seven heavens and revealed, in every heaven, its own mandate. ” (The Qur'an, 41:12) One of most important facts regarding the earth and universe has been revealed in the verses of Holy Quran. ALLAH ALMGHTY states in the Quran that he created “seven regular heavens” and gave every heaven “its own mandate”. Now whenever the word heaven comes in the Quran it is referred to the sky above the earth and the complete universe. In the 20th century an amazing discovery was made stating that the earth atmosphere which is surrounding it and protecting it from different types of dangers is made up of 7 different layers. If we see the atmosphere around the earth surrounding us then we come to know that the atmosphere of the earth is created of seven different layers of which the first layer which is 12-15 Km from the surface of the earth is Troposphere. The second layer is the Stratosphere which is about 25 Km from earth surface and the third layers is Ozone layer also known as Ozonosphere which is the part of Stratosphere layer. The fourth layer around the earth in the atmosphere is Mesosphere while the fifth layer is Thermosphere. After this the sixth layer is Ionosphere and the last layer which is 50% of the complete atmosphere is exosphere. Now when we related this scientific invention with the words of Holy Quran we come to know that ALLAH ALMIGHTY expressed the same words 1400 years ago in QURAN. This is an amazing fact which has been proven by the divine words of Holy Quran. It was not possible to mention such a scientific invention before 1400 years without the help of any scientific tool. At that time when the Quran was revealed the existence of Science on the planet was really struggling and the people of Arab were also uneducated so it was not possible to state such words by any human at that time which

It means that ALLAH ALMIGHTY has given every layer of the atmosphere its own mandate its own purpose of existence. Now when we see it scientifically then we come to know that every layer of atmosphere have its own purpose and function. It was discovered in the 20th century hat every atmospheric layer is distinct and has its own feature. It was discovered by the help of science that the function of Troposphere is to stop the flow of water vapors and convert them into dense form of clouds for rain so that the water could go back on the earth. The second layer which is Stratosphere is relatively stable due to which many jets fly in this layer. The ozonosphere is meant to block the

The meteoroids cannot cross this layer due to which they do not fall on the surface of the earth. Thermosphere is the layer where the space shuttle orbits around the earth. Ionosphere reflects the radio and transmission waves from the one point of the earth to other parts of the earth so that we could communicate with each other in this modern era of science.
