Quran's describes mountains as 'pegs' that have been 'cast down' into the Earth's surface in order to 'stabilize' it.


In recent times, many Islam apologists have argued that this conception is both scientifically sound and and instance of [[Scientific Miracles in the Quran|miraculous scientific foreknowledge]] on the part of the Quran which, they argue, could not have arrived at the conception it holds without divine insight. Individuals key to the popularization of this idea include the [[Apologists|apologists]] like [[Zakir Naik]], Professor Zaghloul Raghib El Naggar (a geologist specializing in biostratification), and the Saudi-financed surgeon [[Bucailleism|Dr. Maurice Bucaille]].
==The idea of Mountains being Pegs had already existed among the Arabs before Muhammad==
 
While critics claim that:
 
*It was an old concept that mountains are pegs who stabilise the earth. This concept was based upon the apparent shape of the mountain.
*The writer of Qur'an only restated this old concept in Quran, thus it could be in no way a miracle of Qur'an.
*And the writer of Qur'an made other scientific mistakes while describing the creation of mountains in Qur'an and Hadith.
 
==Qur'anic verses for mountains being pegs and stabilising the earth==
{{Quote|{{Quran|78|6-7}}|أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ الْأَرْضَ مِهَادًا وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا </br>'''Yusuf Ali:''' Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, '''And the mountains as pegs'''? }}{{Quote|{{Qtt|21|31}}| وجعلنا في الأرض رواسي أن تميد بهم</br>
'''Bewley:''' We placed firmly embedded mountains on the Earth so it would not move under them... }}Also see verses [https://quranx.com/15.19 15:19] and [https://quranx.com/16.15 16:15].
 
==The idea of Mountains being Pegs had already existed before Muhammad==
Mountains appear to be pegs upon huge huge earth. Therefore, this 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.
