Scientific explanation of mountains movement on verse ۸۸ of Surah al-Naml from the Noble Qur'an

Verse ۸۸ of Surah al-Naml has likened mountains to moving clouds. Although in the previous centuries, most exegetes consider the movement of mountains as one of the pre-resurrection events, new scientific findings in geology and meteorology have brought new dimensions of aspects of this similarity to scholars. In this study, I tried to present a new understanding about verse ۸۸ of Surah al-Namal and identify the similarities between the movement of mountains and clouds, according to the reference scientific texts in geology and meteorology. The results showed that the similarity of mountains to clouds, in addition to the direction and speed of movement previously specified, is in the mechanism of motion, layers and constituents.
