Allah SWT said in the Quran:
And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs, are turning away.
(Qur’an 21:32)
Modern science confirms this Qur’anic truth. The sky atmosphere 1
surrounding the earth
acts as a protective shield — filtering harmful solar radiation, burning up meteors before they reach the surface, and maintaining a stable temperature suitable for life.
The protective properties of the sky were discovered by scientific research conducted in the 20th century. But it was mentioned in the Quran more than 1400 years ago.
However, this is yet another proof that the Qur'an is the word of Allah.
Alhamdulillah, when we see these miracles in the Quran, our faith in Allah increases.
Note:
1] The sky atmosphere, also known as the Earth’s atmosphere, is a protective layer of gases surrounding our planet.
