Land is decreasing due to the
movements of plate tectonics. This is might be what is indicated by the
following two verses:
v
Don’t they See that We gradually reduce the land
from its outlying boundaries? Where God commands, there is none to put
back His command
(Quran 13:41)
v
Indeed, we gave the
good things of this life to these men and their fathers until the period grew
long for them; don’t they see our ability in reducing the land from its outlying borders? Is
it then they who will win? (Quran 21:44)
v
It should be noted that the
meaning of decreasing the land from its outlying boundary could be decreasing
the land in territory around the idol worshipers of Makkah. Therefore, the two
verse are not 100% confirmed as a miracle. However, it could also be an
intended miracle.
