Geology has revealed that Earth’s crust is riddled with faults and fractures, forming due to tectonic forces. The Quran references these features, aligning with modern scientific understanding.

Key points: - The Arabic term “Sadaa” (صَّدْعِ) refers to cracks or faults. - This description aligns with geological findings of Earth's fault lines, areas where significant displacement occurs due to tectonic movements.

- What Are Faults? Faults are fractures in Earth’s crust caused by tectonic forces. Large faults form at plate boundaries, such as subduction zones or transform faults, and can be sources of earthquakes. - Evidence of Faults: Faults are mapped worldwide and are often visible as fault lines at Earth’s surface. Movements along these faults release seismic energy, causing earthquakes.

Fourteen centuries ago, the concept of Earth having internal cracks or faults was unknown. The prevailing belief was that Earth was solid and unbroken. The Quran’s reference to faults accurately describes features only confirmed through modern geology.

The Quran’s description of Earth's faults remarkably corresponds with geological discoveries. This alignment raises questions about how such precise knowledge could have been known in a time of limited scientific understanding.
