43. Allah's Scientific Miracles In The Quran: The Quivering And Swelling Of The Earth

This verse in the Qur'an reveals the three stages of the movement of particles, verse and movement when rain falls on dry ground. First, the soil particles quiver due to electrostatic charge and the collision with water particles. Second, the soil swells as the space between particles increases and allows water and minerals to enter. Finally, the soil brings forth luxuriant plants of every kind as the seeds become active and absorb simple nutritious material. This process is further confirmed by Robert Brown's discovery of the Brownian motion.
