Revision as of 16:57, 18 October 2021
The idea of Mountains being Pegs had already existed among the Arabs before Muhammad
The idea of mountains being pegs even existed among the Arabs before Muhammad. For example, Ka’ab was one of the ancestor of Muhammad. This Ka’ab also declared mountains to be pegs long before Muhammad.
Ka'ab Bin Lowy was a man of great honour among his ancestors and progeny. He was the first person who gave the name of Friday to the day of Friday. Arabs used to call him 'Aroba. He gathered them and advised them to hear, learn and understand, and to know that night is deserted and silent, while day is full of sunlight, and earth is a cradle while sky is a support, and mountains are pegs, and stars are signs, ...
The critics point out that the writer of Qur'an only recorded this old concept in Quran.
Similarly, other civilizations also had the concept of mountains having roots. For example, we find this concept in bible too.
Critics claim: There are 2 Scientific mistakes in Quran regarding the creation of mountains
According to the critics, the writer of Quran made two scientific mistakes regarding the creation of mountains.
First Mistake: Allah 'placed جعل' the Mountains 'from above من فوقها' into the earth according to the Quran
According to the modern science, mountains are formed when two plates techtonic collide with each other. But critics claim that verse 41:10 claimed that Allah 'placed' the mountains 'from above' into the earth.
وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ مِن فَوْقِهَا
And He placed (Arabic: جعل) in it stabilisers (i.e. mountains) from above (Arabic: من فوقها).(Quran Word by Word Translation by Quran Corpus)
And He placed therein firmly-set mountains from above it. (Word for Word Dr. Shehnaz Shaikh)
And He made in it mountains above its surface. (Shakir)
And He made on it firm mountains from above it. (Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar)
He has placed in it (the earth) firm mountains from above it. (Abdul Hye)
And He placed therein firm mountains from above it. (Dr. Kamal Omar)
And He made therein anchorages (i.e., mountains) from above it. (Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali):
And He placed on the earth firmly set mountains over its surface. (Sahih International)
And He placed in it stabilizers from above it. (The Monotheist Group)
And He made/put in it anchors/fixtures/mountains from above it. (Muhammad Ahmed - Samira)
And in it He placed mountains as anchors from above it. (Faridul Haque)
He placed therein (i.e. the earth) firm mountains from above it. (Mohsin Khan & Muhammad al-Hilali)
Similarly, verse 16:15 is also claims that Allah CASTE the mountains into the earth.
(Sahih International) And He has cast into the earth firmly set mountains, lest it shift with you,
The word 'he has cast' is alqa (lam-qaf-ya), which in this form (Arabic verb form IV) is frequently used elsewhere in the Quran to mean throw or cast. It is the same word as is used in Quran 3:44 when lots are cast using pens (it would be easy to imagine that mountains were similarly scattered), and Quran 12:10 when the prophet Yusuf is cast down into the well, and in Quran 20:20 when Moses casts down his staff, which becomes a snake.
According to the modern science, mountains are not 'placed'/'cast' over earth's surface, but they are formed when two plates tectonics collide with each other (i.e. when earthquake takes place), then crust of one plate goes upwards and forms a mountain, while the crust of other plate goes downwards.
And then this process of colliding of plates tectonics (i.e. earthquakes) continues for millions of years, and with each collision mountains keep on rising high little by little. And when the plates tectonics start to move away from each other, then these high mountains start to erode and after millions of years, they completely disappear.
For example, there existed no Mount Everest 250 million years ago. But then two plates tectonics collided with each other, and a small Mount Everest came into being due to that. Then it kept on gaining height with each collision of the plates tectonics. Today it is the highest mountain. It will keep on gaining even more height, but then a time will come, when it will start eroding and will disappear completely.
Second Mistake: Allah had already made the mountains on the day of Sunday at time of the creation of the universe
Quran claims that Allah had already created the mountains on the 2nd day of creation.
And Hadith made it more clear that 2nd day of creation was Sunday, when the mountains were created by Allah.
Critics point out that according to the modern science[1][2]:
- Mountains were not created on Sunday at the time of creation of the earth and the heavens.
- But earth initially consisted of gases only. It took billions of years to come into solid form. And even after earth came into solid state, still it took billions of years more in the formation of mountains.
- And older mountains disappear with time, and new mountains start forming.
- There existed no Mount Everest 250 million years ago. Today it is the highest mountain. It will keep on gaining even more height, but then a time will come, when it will disappear completely.
Not only Hadith, but Quran itself claims that Allah had already created the mountains during the creation of the earth and the heavens.
