Like the Quran, it contains scientific information unavailable 1400 years ago.&nbsp; From these miracles is the \u201cseven\u201d earths, mentioned by the Prophet in several of his sayings.&nbsp; From them are the following two:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Hadith 1<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">It was narrated on the authority of Abu Salamah that a dispute arose between him and some other people (about a piece of land).&nbsp; When he told Aisha (the Prophet\u2019s wife) about it, she said, \u2018O Abu Salamah! &nbsp;Avoid taking the land unjustly, for the Prophet said:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u201cWhoever usurps even one span of land of somebody, its depth through the seven earths will be collared to his neck.\u201d (<em>Saheeh Al-Bukhari, \u2018Book of Oppression.\u2019<\/em>)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Hadith 2<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Salim narrated on the authority of his father that the Prophet said:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u201cWhoever takes a piece of land of others unjustly, he will sink down the seven earths on the Day of Resurrection.\u201d (<em>Saheeh Al-Bukhari, \u2018Book of Oppression.\u2019<\/em>)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The aforementioned hadith prohibits oppression in general, especially the taking of a piece of land belonging to others unjustly.&nbsp; What might the seven earths refer to?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Studies in geology have proven that the earth is composed of seven zones, identified from the inner to the outer layers as follows:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">(1)&nbsp; The Solid Inner Core of Earth: 1.7% of the Earth\u2019s mass; depth of 5,150 &#8211; 6,370 kilometers (3,219 &#8211; 3,981 miles)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The inner core is solid and unattached to the mantle, suspended in the molten outer core.&nbsp; It is believed to have solidified as a result of pressure-freezing which occurs to most liquids when temperature decreases or pressure increases.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">(2)&nbsp; The Liquid Outer core: 30.8% of Earth\u2019s mass; depth of 2,890 &#8211; 5,150 kilometers (1,806 &#8211; 3,219 miles)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The outer core is a hot, electrically conducting liquid within which convective motion occurs.&nbsp; This conductive layer combines with Earth\u2019s rotation to create a dynamo effect that maintains a system of electrical currents known as the Earth\u2019s magnetic field.&nbsp; It is also responsible for the subtle jerking of Earth\u2019s rotation.&nbsp; This layer is not as dense as pure molten iron, which indicates the presence of lighter elements.&nbsp; Scientists suspect that about 10% of the layer is composed of sulfur and\/or oxygen because these elements are abundant in the cosmos and dissolve readily in molten iron.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">(3)&nbsp; The \u201cD\u201d Layer: 3% of Earth\u2019s mass; depth of 2,700 &#8211; 2,890 kilometers (1,688 &#8211; 1,806 miles)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This layer is 200 to 300 kilometers (125 to 188 miles) thick and represents about 4% of the mantle-crust mass.&nbsp; Although it is often identified as part of the lower mantle, seismic discontinuities suggest the \u201cD\u201d layer might differ chemically from the lower mantle lying above it.&nbsp; Scientists theorize that the material either dissolved in the core, or was able to sink through the mantle but not into the core because of its density.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">(4)&nbsp; Lower Mantle: 49.2% of Earth\u2019s mass; depth of 650 &#8211; 2,890 kilometers (406 -1,806 miles)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The lower mantle contains 72.9% of the mantle-crust mass and is probably composed mainly of silicon, magnesium, and oxygen.&nbsp; It probably also contains some iron, calcium, and aluminum.&nbsp; Scientists make these deductions by assuming the Earth has a similar abundance and proportion of cosmic elements as found in the Sun and primitive meteorites.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">(5)&nbsp; Middle Mantle (Transition region): 7.5% of Earth\u2019s mass; depth of 400 &#8211; 650 kilometers (250-406 miles)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The transition region or mesosphere (for middle mantle), sometimes called the fertile layer, contains 11.1% of the mantle-crust mass and is the source of basaltic magmas.&nbsp; It also contains calcium, aluminum, and garnet, which is a complex aluminum-bearing silicate mineral.&nbsp; This layer is dense when cold because of the garnet.&nbsp; It is buoyant when hot because these minerals melt easily to form basalt which can then rise through the upper layers as magma.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">(6)&nbsp; Upper Mantle: 10.3% of Earth\u2019s mass; depth of 10 &#8211; 400 kilometers (6 &#8211; 250 miles)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The upper mantle contains 15.3% of the mantle-crust mass.&nbsp; Fragments have been excavated for our observation by eroded mountain belts and volcanic eruptions.&nbsp; Olivine (Mg,Fe)2SiO4 and pyroxene (Mg,Fe)SiO3 have been the primary minerals found in this way.&nbsp; These and other minerals are refractory and crystalline at high temperatures; therefore, most settle out of rising magma, either forming new material or never leaving the mantle.&nbsp; Part of the upper mantle called the asthenosphere might be partially molten.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">(7)&nbsp; Lithosphere<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Oceanic crust: 0.099% of Earth\u2019s mass; depth of 0-10 kilometers (0 &#8211; 6 miles)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The rigid, outermost layer of the Earth comprising the crust and upper mantle is called the lithosphere.&nbsp; The oceanic crust contains 0.147% of the mantle-crust mass.&nbsp; The majority of the Earth\u2019s crust was made through volcanic activity.&nbsp; The oceanic ridge system, a 40,000-kilometer (25,000 mile) network of volcanoes, generates new oceanic crust at the rate of 17 km3 per year, covering the ocean floor with basalt.&nbsp; Hawaii and Iceland are two examples of the accumulation of basalt piles.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-147\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost\/rs\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2011\/08\/003.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" width=\"263\" height=\"180\" \/><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This image shows a cross section through the earth\u2019s crust and upper mantle showing lithosphere plates (made of the crust layer and the top part of the mantle) moving over the asthenosphere (upper mantle).&nbsp;

Certainly, God is Ever a Careful Account Taker of all things.\u201d(Quran 4:86)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Better Islamic greetings include, Assalam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah, which means, May the peace and mercy of God be upon you, and Assalam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuh, which means, May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.&nbsp; Greeting in return with something better would be, for example, after hearing the words Assalam Alaikum you would respond, wa Alaikum Assalam wa Rahmatullah.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Making that small effort to greet others with peace and blessings at every opportunity increases rewards. &nbsp;Each time a believer&nbsp; says the words Assalam Alaikum&nbsp; or responds to this greeting, his bank of good deeds is increased.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><em>One day a man passed by the Prophet Muhammad&nbsp; while he was sitting with some men, and said \u201cSalam Alaikum\u201d.&nbsp; The Prophet said \u201cHe will have 10 rewards\u201d.
