[65] \n Mountains are the pegs of earth...

[65] \n Mountains are the pegs of earth: \n In Quran, Allah Says: And He is the One Who Made the sea subservient for you to be eating fresh flesh from it, and (for) you to extract ornaments from it to wear, and you see the ships cleaving in it, and for you to seek His Grace, and perhaps you would be grateful [16:14] \n And He Cast firm mountains in the earth lest it shakes with you, and rivers and roads, perhaps you may go aright [16:15] \n The 6 th successor of Prophet (c.\u2009702\u2013765 CE) says: \u2018Allah did not Create a creation except and He Commanded to another one to overcome it, and that is because Allah Blessed and Exalted, when He Created the sea (atmosphere) in the sky, it prided and abounded and said, \u2018Which thing can overcome me?\u2019 \n So Allah the Exalted Created the planets, and these orbited with it and humbled it.

Then the earth prided and said, \u2018Which thing can overcome me?\u2019 So Allah the Exalted Created the mountains and Affirmed these in its back as pegs from it from lest it shakes (uncontrollably) with whatever is upon it. So, the earth was humbled and calmed down\u2019. [66] \n We see that mountains are described as pegs. A peg is a mechanical tool to stabilise the tent, which is about 2\/3 in the ground and 1\/3 is outside, which is the case for the mountains, as per scientific evidence.

\n Picture of pegs to install a tent. \n Once we look into the science of geology, we see that this is the exact description of a mountain. \n We, generally, scale mountains through defining its heights, but mountains actually have roots, which do not only hold mountain securely in its place but also assist in stabilising the earth. [67] [68] \n The role of deep-rooted mountain is to maintain the stability of tectonic plates.

They act as natural barriers, preventing the movement of these plates and reducing the occurrence of earthquakes and volcanic activities. Mountains are formed through tectonic processes and their roots extend deep into the Earth\u2019s crust, providing stability and reducing the likelihood of seismic activity. The weight and pressure exerted by mountains contribute to the overall stability of the Earth\u2019s crust.

[69] \n Mountains are often formed at convergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates collide. This collision helps dissipate the energy of plate movement, reducing the likelihood of catastrophic events like large earthquakes or massive subduction-related tsunamis.
