Abstract

A perfect system is at work high above the Earth. It surrounds our world and protects it
against external threats. Scientists only learned about it recently, yet centuries ago, God
informed us in the Qur’an of the world’s atmosphere functioning as a protective shield. The
atmosphere surrounding the earth serves crucial functions for the continuity of life by
providing a shield against light rays, ultraviolet rays, harmful cosmic rays, celestial bodies,
particles and radiation bombardment. The important thing is that this protection was made
known in the Qur’an more than 1,400 years ago.
