Clouds Between Heaven and Earth: Scientific Miracles

Aspects of the precise scientific miracle in “the clouds subjected between heaven and earth” (Al-Baqarah 2:164) 1. The exact location of the zipper: Clouds are actually formed between the sky and the earth, i.e. in the lower atmosphere layers (especially the troposphere, which extends from the Earth's surface up to about 12 km). It was not known at the time of the revelation of the Qur'an that the clouds were not in the upper heaven, nor attached to the earth, but hung in a certain area between them. 2. Harness: The word "ridiculous" means that the clouds are not random, but are subject to precise laws (physical laws such as atmospheric pressure, heat, humidity, wind, up and down currents). This harnessing is what makes the clouds move huge distances, moving water from one place to another to pour into estimated positions, according to a calculated water cycle. 3. Miracles in Balance: Clouds sometimes carry millions of tons of water, yet they remain suspended in the air. Modern science shows that this is done in a delicate balance between the force of gravity that pulls water droplets toward Earth, and the force of rising air currents that prevent them from falling directly. This is the meaning of the word «servant», i.e. committed to God. This Quranic text, which was revealed more than fourteen centuries ago, described with surprising accuracy atmospheric phenomena that have only recently been confirmed by modern science, describing the cloud as "ridiculous" conforming to the laws of atmospheric physics that keep it suspended, not falling at once, but to a known extent.
