Resumé
The Seismic Qurʾān explores how apocalyptic imagery in the Qurʾān, such as earthquakes, crumbling mountains, and scorching stones, reflects not only Biblical influences but also real seismic events in pre-Islamic Arabia. By integrating Qurʾānic and Biblical studies with geology, this monograph reframes religious texts as reflections of both historical and environmental events.
