Miracles of the Quran - The Atmosphere

The Layers of The Atmosphere

One fact about the universe revealed in the verses of the Quran is that the sky is made up of seven layers.

"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."
(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"
(41:12)

14 centuries ago, when the sky was believed to be one unified body, the Quran miraculously stated that it consisted of layers, and what is more, "seven" layers, discovered the fact that the atmpsphere surrounding the Earth is made up of "seven" basic layers only very recently.
