THE LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
One fact about the universe revealed in the verses of the Qur'an is that the sky is made up of seven layers:

(Qur'an, 2:29)

ہُوَ الَّذِیۡ خَلَقَ لَکُمۡ مَّا فِی الۡاَرْضِ جَمِیۡعًا ٭ ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰۤی اِلَی السَّمَآءِ فَسَوّٰىہُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ ؕ وَہُوَ بِکُلِّ شَیۡءٍ عَلِیۡمٌ ﴿٪۲۹﴾

 وہی ہے جس نے تمہارے لئے بنایا جو کچھ زمین میں ہے (ف۵۱) پھر آسمان کی طرف استواء (قصد) فرمایا تو ٹھیک سات آسمان بنائے وہ سب کچھ جانتا ہے (ف۵۲) 

It is He Who created everything on the earth for you and Moreover directed His attention up to heaven and arranged it into seven regular heavens. He has knowledge of all things. (Qur'an, 2:29)

(Qur'an, 41:11-12)

ثُمَّ  اسْتَوٰۤی  اِلَی السَّمَآءِ وَ ہِیَ دُخَانٌ فَقَالَ  لَہَا وَ لِلْاَرْضِ ائْتِیَا طَوْعًا  اَوْ کَرْہًا ؕ قَالَتَاۤ  اَتَیۡنَا طَآئِعِیۡنَ ﴿۱۱﴾   فَقَضٰہُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ فِیۡ یَوْمَیۡنِ وَ اَوْحٰی فِیۡ کُلِّ سَمَآءٍ  اَمْرَہَا ؕ وَ زَیَّنَّا السَّمَآءَ  الدُّنْیَا بِمَصَابِیۡحَ ٭ۖ وَ حِفْظًا ؕ ذٰلِکَ تَقْدِیۡرُ الْعَزِیۡزِ الْعَلِیۡمِ ﴿۱۲﴾

                        

پھر آسمان کی طرف قصد فرمایا اور وہ دھواں تھا (ف۲۵) تو اس سے اور زمین سے فرمایا کہ دونوں حاضر ہو خوشی سے چاہے ناخوشی سے دونوں نے عرض کی کہ ہم رغبت کے ساتھ حاضر ہوئے  تو انہیں پورے سات آسمان کردیا دو دن میں (ف۲۶) اور ہر آسمان میں اسی کے کام کے احکام بھیجے (ف۲۷) اور ہم نے نیچے کے آسمان کو (ف۲۸) چراغوں سے آراستہ کیا (ف۲۹) اور نگہبانی کے لئے (ف۳۰) یہ اس عزّت والے علم والے کا ٹھیرایا ہوا ہے

Moreover 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. (Qur'an, 41:11-12)

The word "heavens," which appears in many verses in the Qur'an, is used to refer to the sky above the Earth, as well as the entire universe. Given this meaning of the word, it is seen that the Earth's sky, or the atmosphere, is made up of seven layers.

Today, it is known that the world's atmosphere consists of different layers that lie on top of each other. Based on the criteria of chemical contents or air temperature, the definitions made have determined the atmosphere of the earth as seven layers. According to the "Limited Fine Mesh Model (LFMMII)," a model of atmosphere used to estimate weather conditions for 48 hours, the atmosphere is also 7 layers. According to the modern geological definitions the seven layers of atmosphere are as follows:

1. Troposphere

2. Stratosphere/also Known as Ozone

3. Mesosphere

4. Thermosphere

5. Exosphere

6. Ionosphere

7. Magnetosphere

The Qur'an says, "[He] revealed, in every heaven, its own mandate," in Surah Fussilat 12. In other words, Allah is stating that He assigned each heaven its own duty. Truly, as will be seen in following chapters, each one of these layers has vital duties for the benefit of human kind and all other living things on the Earth. Each layer has a particular function, ranging from forming rain to preventing harmful rays, from reflecting radio waves to averting the harmful effects of meteors.

The verses below inform us about the appearance of the seven layers of the atmosphere: 

(Qur'an, 71:15)

اَلَمْ تَرَوْا کَیۡفَ خَلَقَ اللہُ  سَبْعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ طِبَاقًا ﴿ۙ۱۵﴾ 

 کیا تم نہیں دیکھتے اللّٰہ نے کیونکر سات آسمان بنائے ایک پر ایک

Do you not see how He created seven heavens in layers? (Qur'an, 71:15)

(Qur'an, 67:3)

الَّذِیۡ خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ طِبَاقًا ؕ مَا تَرٰی فِیۡ  خَلْقِ الرَّحْمٰنِ مِنۡ  تَفٰوُتٍ ؕ فَارْجِعِ  الْبَصَرَ ۙ ہَلْ  تَرٰی مِنۡ فُطُوۡرٍ ﴿۳﴾ 

جس نے سات آسمان بنائے ایک کے اوپر دوسرا تو رحمٰن کے بنانے میں کیا فرق دیکھتا ہے (ف۵) تو نگاہ اٹھا کر دیکھ (ف۶) تجھے کوئی رخنہ نظر آتا ہے 

The One Who created seven tiers of heavens, one atop another! You do not find any disparity or disharmony in the creation of Rehman, (the most Merciful). Cast another look! Do you find any breach (in the heavens)?

The atmosphere only lets rays required for life reach the Earth. For example, ultraviolet rays make it to the world only partially. This is the most appropriate range to allow plants to make photosynthesis and eventually for all living things to survive.

The Arabic word "tibaqan" in these verses, translated into English as "layer" means "layer, the appropriate cover or covering for something," and thus stresses how the top layer is well suited to the lower. The word is also used in the plural here: "layers." The sky, described in the verse as being in layers, is without doubt the most perfect expression of the atmosphere. It is a great miracle that these facts, which could not possibly be discovered without the technology of the 20th century, were explicitly stated by the Qur'an 1400 year's ago.

MAY I ASK YOU A QUESTION.

Q1. Could anyone in 7th century Arabia have known that our atmosphere is made up of seven layers?

Q2. Could anyone in 7th century Arabia have known that the universe is "steadily expanding,"? 

Q3. Could anyone in 7th century Arabia have Known about the idea of the Big Bang? as the Qur'an puts it, when modern scientists have only known in recent decades, and have put forward the idea of the "Big Bang"?

Q4. Could anyone in 7th century Arabia have known that the universe has a end to?

Q5. Could anyone in 7th century Arabia have known that the mountains have a very important Geological role, as the Qur'an puts it, conformed by the modern science?

The only answer to these questions is as follows: the Qur'an is the Word of the Almighty Allah, the Originator of everything and the One Who encompasses everything with His knowledge. In one verse, Allah says, "If it had been from other than Allah, they would have found many inconsistencies in it."  (Qur'an, 4:82) Every piece of information the Qur'an contains reveals the secret miracles of this divine book.
The human being is meant to hold fast to this Divine Book revealed by Allah and to receive it with an open heart as his one and only guide in life. In the Qur'an, Allah tells us the following:

This Qur'an could never have been devised by any besides Allah. Rather it is confirmation of what came before it and an elucidation of the Book which contains no doubt from the Lord of all the worlds. Do they say, "He has invented it"? Say: "Then produce a sura like it and call on anyone you can besides Allah if you are telling the truth." (Qur'an, 10:37-38).
And this is a Book We have sent down and blessed, so follow it and have fear of Allah so that hopefully you will gain mercy. (Qur'an, 6:155)

English Translation

The Nobel Quran [041:053] 

Soon will We show them our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomesmanifest to them that this is the Truth. Is it not enough that thy Lord doth witness all things?

"Deaf, dumb, and blind,

 They will not return (to the path)."     [Al-Qur'an 2:18]

May Allah Subhan A Wa'Tala guide us the right path.

Thanks for reading and watching it,

Thanks for your Precession  time.
