01The sign
In the Quran meteorites can burn in the atmosphere. Skeptics claim that whoever wrote the Quran made a mistake; the air cannot affect the meteorites. Today scientists confirm that meteorites burn in the atmosphere.
02Scientific evidence
Meteors burn up when they hit the Earth's atmosphere. Why doesn't the space shuttle?
A meteor moving through the vacuum of space typically travels at speeds reaching tens of thousands of miles per hour. When the meteor hits the atmosphere, the air in front of it compresses incredibly quickly. When a gas is compressed, its temperature rises. This causes the meteor to heat up so much that it glows. The air burns the meteor until there is nothing left.
When those meteorites enter our atmosphere the heat generated on entry burns them into ashes. This was only known recently, however this was portrayed in the Quran 1400 years before it was discovered.
03Qur'an passage · Quran 52:44
وَإِنْ يَرَوْا كِسْفًا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ سَاقِطًا يَقُولُوا سَحَابٌ مَرْكُومٌ ٤٤
Even if they were to see lumps of the sky falling down, they would say, "A mass of clouds."
04Reflection
They would think that they are clouds because their ash looks like clouds.
