that Allah drives along the clouds, then gathers them together, then piles them

sends forth the winds so they raise a cloud, then He spreads it forth in the

from inside it; then when He causes it to fall upon whom He pleases of His
servants, lo! they are joyful"

earth a restingplace, and made in it rivers, and raised on it mountains and placed
between the two seas a barrier. Is there a god with Allah? Nay! most of them do
not know!"

Surah Fatir, Verse
12:
وَمَا يَسْتَوِي الْبَحْرَانِ هَٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ سَائِغٌ شَرَابُهُ
وَهَٰذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ وَمِن كُلٍّ تَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ
حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ فِيهِ مَوَاخِرَ لِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ
وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
"And the two seas
are not alike: the one sweet, that subdues thirst by its excessive sweetness, pleasant
to drink; and the other salt, that burns by its saltness; yet from each of them
you eat fresh flesh and bring forth ornaments which you wear; and you see the
ships cleave through it that you may seek of His bounty and that you may be
grateful."
Qur'an discuss about the water wave
Surah Hud, Verse 43:
قَالَ سَآوِي إِلَىٰ جَبَلٍ يَعْصِمُنِي مِنَ الْمَاءِ قَالَ لَا
عَاصِمَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ وَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمَا الْمَوْجُ
فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُغْرَقِينَ
"He said: I will
betake myself for refuge to a mountain that shall protect me from the water.
Nuh said: There is no protector today from Allah's punishment but He Who has
mercy; and a wave intervened between them, so he was of the drowned."
Qur'an discuss about mountain
Surah Al-Anbiya, Verse 31:
وَجَعَلْنَا فِي الْأَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ أَن تَمِيدَ بِهِمْ وَجَعَلْنَا
فِيهَا فِجَاجًا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ
"And We have made
great mountains in the earth lest it might be convulsed with them, and We have
made in it wide ways that they may follow a right direction."
And there are several Qur'an verses that related to
geography. We should can learn from Al-Qur'an. All these verses is just a
little evidence to prove that Qur'an and everything that consists in it are
right because it comes from Allah subhanahu wata'ala.
Surah Fussilat, Verse 53:
سَنُرِيهِمْ آيَاتِنَا فِي الْآفَاقِ وَفِي أَنفُسِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ
يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ أَوَلَمْ يَكْفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ
شَيْءٍ شَهِيدٌ
"We will soon
show them Our signs in the Universe and in their own souls, until it will
become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as
regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things?"
