\"ozone\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This phenomenon is particularly encountered in the North Pole (Arctic) region, and there is a serious loss of ozone for a few hours immediately after sunrise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cUntil he reached the rising of the sun and found it rising on a people to whom We had not given any shelter from it.\u201d<\/strong> (Al-Kahf<\/a> 18: 90)<\/p>\n

The Arabic word \u201csitran<\/em>\u201d in verse 90 of Surat al-Kahf means \u201ccover, shelter, curtain or screen.\u201d The term “lam naj`al lahum min duniha sitran<\/em>” describes an environment devoid of any shelter or protection against the Sun. In the light of present-day knowledge, this is suggestive of the ozone layer that protects living things against harmful solar rays.<\/p>\n

The area where the ozone layer around the Earth is thinnest, where it protects least against solar radiation, is the poles.1<\/sup> Scientific research has established a severe thinning of the ozone layer at the North Pole at the moment the Sun rises2<\/sup> and this scientific discovery has been described as Sunrise Ozone Destruction (SOD).3<\/sup><\/p>\n

As a matter of fact, during their research, American scientists determined a rapid decrease in ozone concentration at the moment of sunrise \u2013 when there was no sign of any before.4<\/sup> This phenomenon is particularly encountered in the North Pole (Arctic) region, and there is a serious loss of ozone for a few hours immediately after sunrise.5<\/sup><\/p>\n

\"ozone\"<\/a>The Arabic word \u201cmatlia<\/em>\u201d in this verse, meaning the \u201crising place\u201d of the Sun, may well be a reference to this scientific discovery about the ozone layer. (Allah knows the truth.) The fact that this information, obtained with 20th-century high technology, also appears in such a compatible form in the Qur\u2019an, is yet more proof that the Qur\u2019an is the revelation of our Lord, the One and Only Owner of science and technology.<\/p>\n
