How does the universe expand? What does islam say about the universe? What quran says about expansion of universe?
We have stated that the “canopy well-secured” turns the objects from space entering the atmosphere into dust. Then each one of these dust particles becomes the core for a rain particle. Because the water vaporized by the sun needs the atoms called “the concentration nucleus” to transform and return to the earth as rain.
The particles of salts raised from the surfaces of the seas, the clouds of dust raised from deserts, the ashes ejected by volcanoes are carried to the upper layers of the atmosphere by the wind. These particles seed the water vapor in the air and turn them into rain droplets. The winds are designated to carry these dust particles. It is stated in the Qur’an:
“And We send the fecundating winds, then cause the rain to descend from the sky, therewith providing you with water (in abundance), though ye are not the guardians of its stores.” (al-Hijr, 15: 22)
The seeding role of the wind in the water cycle was discovered only in our century.
The above mentioned verse also points out to the role of winds in the fertilization of plants.
“And We send the fecundating winds, then cause the rain to descend from the sky, therewith providing you with water (in abundance), though ye are not the guardians of its stores.” (al-Hijr, 15: 22)
The seeding role of the wind in the water cycle was discovered only in our century.
Because for many plants, the fertilization through pollen has a vital importance. Because Allah has made the oneness a unique attribute to Himself, and created all beings in pair.
