SEVEN LAYERS OF ATMOSPHERE

“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.”

(The Qur'an, 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.”

(The Qur'an, 41:12)

One of most important facts regarding the earth and universe has been

revealed in the verses of Holy Quran. ALLAH ALMGHTY states in the Quran that

he created “seven regular heavens” and gave every heaven “its own mandate”.

Now whenever the word heaven comes in the Quran it is referred to the sky

above the earth and the complete universe. In the 20th century an amazing

discovery was made stating that the earth atmosphere which is surrounding it

and protecting it from different types of dangers is made up of 7 different layers.

If we see the atmosphere around the earth surrounding us then we come to

know that the atmosphere of the earth is created of seven different layers of

which the first layer which is 12-15 Km from the surface of the earth is

Troposphere. The second layer is the Stratosphere which is about 25 Km from

earth surface and the third layers is Ozone layer also known as Ozonosphere

which is the part of Stratosphere layer. The fourth layer around the earth in the

atmosphere is Mesosphere while the fifth layer is Thermosphere. After this the

sixth layer is Ionosphere and the last layer which is 50% of the complete

atmosphere is exosphere. Now when we related this scientific invention with the

words of Holy Quran we come to know that ALLAH ALMIGHTY expressed the

same words 1400 years ago in QURAN. This is an amazing fact which has been

proven by the divine words of Holy Quran. It was not possible to mention such a

scientific invention before 1400 years without the help of any scientific tool. At

that time when the Quran was revealed the existence of Science on the planet

was really struggling and the people of Arab were also uneducated so it was not

possible to state such words

by any human at that time

which proves that these words

are the divine words revealed

by the creator of all, ALLAH

ALMIGHTY.

Now in the second verse

ALLAH ALMIGHT stated that he has

given every heaven “its own

mandate”. It means that ALLAH

ALMIGHTY has given every layer of

the atmosphere its own mandate its

own purpose of existence. Now

when we see it scientifically then

we come to know that every layer

of atmosphere have its own

purpose and function. It was

discovered in the 20th century hat

every atmospheric layer is distinct

and has its own feature. It was

discovered by the help of science

that the function of Troposphere is

to stop the flow of water vapors

and convert them into dense form

of clouds for rain so that the water

could go back on the earth. The second layer which is Stratosphere is relatively stable due to

which many jets fly in this layer. The ozonosphere is meant to block the ultraviolent rays and

other harmful rays from entering the earth to protect life on earth. Mesosphere is meant to

stop meteoroids from falling on the earth. The meteoroids cannot cross this layer due to which

they do not fall on the surface of the earth. Thermosphere is the layer where the space shuttle

orbits around the earth. Ionosphere reflects the radio and transmission waves from the one

point of the earth to other parts of the earth so that we could communicate with each other in

this modern era of science.
