    31. This tells us that the earth does not move, because anchors are used to stop the ship. Even now if the earth moves, it would be useless to use the mountains as anchors. The sky too does not move. Only the stars rotate in such a way like the person swimming in the sea. Says Allah Almighty: "And each one is floating in the orbit" (S36:V40). Total number of mountains are six thousand, six hundred and seventy three. This number excludes hills (Roohul Bayaan).

    13. Natural ways are those routes which are formed along the banks of streams, ravines and rivers. Though the importance of these ways is great even in the plains, one feels their sore need, especially in the mountainous regions.

    (15) And He has cast into the earth firmly set mountains, lest it shift with you, and [made] rivers and roads, that you may be guided,
