THE QUIVERING AND SWELLING OF the planet

Research by Zakir Ibn Ahmed

And you see the planet dead and barren. Then, once we debar water onto it, it quivers and swells and sprouts with luxuriant plants of each kind. (Qur'an, 22:5)

" The word "Rabat," translated as "swells," bears the meanings "to increase, grow in range, swell, grow, develop, rise (of a plant), provision, fill with air." These words describe within the most applicable manner the changes that occur within the molecular structure of soil throughout rain.

The motion delineates within the verse is completely different from the movement of a layer, like once some of it moves to supply AN earthquake, for it's solely the soil particles that are moving. These particles are composed of layers, every of that is on high of the opposite. once water penetrates the layers, it causes the swelling of mud particles. The stages said within the verse will be scientifically explained as follows:

1. Quivering of the soil: The charge on the particle surface that seems when the waterfalls on the soil in enough quantity would cause its instability and quivering movements. This movement is stabilized solely when this charge has been neutral with AN opposing one. The soil particle's moving and quivering is additionally thanks to its collision with water particles. Since the water particles move in no specific direction, the soil particles move as they're smitten from all sides. Robert Brown, a Scottish biologist, discovered in 1827 that once raindrops fall on the soil, they cause a form of shaking and vibration within the soil molecules. He delineates this movement of microscopic particles, that nowadays is thought because of the "Brownian motion."1

2. Swelling of the soil: once it rains, those raindrops touch the soil cause its particles to swell and increase in volume. this can be as a result of once there's teeming water, the house between soil particles, that permits water particles and dissolved ions to enter increases. once water and also the alimentary components dissolved in it diffuse between the layers, the scale of the soil particles will increase. Consequently, these particles function water deposits that bring the soil to life. it's thanks to Allah's infinite grace upon humanity that this water is held on during this manner while not oozy downward thanks to the action of gravity. If the soil couldn't endure and these mineral deposits couldn't be arranged down within the soil, the water would soak into Earth's deepest components and, due to its ensuing absence, all plants would shortly die. However, our Lord has created the soil in such the simplest way that numerous product will emerge from it.


3. maturation of the earth: once there's enough water within the soil, the seeds become active and absorb straightforward alimentary material. Growing plants meet their water necessities for two to three months from these deposits.

The on top of verse describes, in 3 stages, what happens once rain falls onto the dry ground: the soil particles quiver, and also the soil swells and so brings forth numerous product. These stages, that the Qur'an unconcealed one,400 years agone, are strikingly parallel to the scientific descriptions. Another verse reveals this regarding plants:

A sign for them is that the dead land that we tend to bring back life and from that we tend to motivate grain, of what they eat. (Qur'an, 36:33)
