How do they stay in the air effortlessly, gliding without constant flapping? While early civilizations may have assumed that birds were simply light enough to stay afloat, modern science has revealed the presence of invisible air currents that assist their flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These unseen forces, such as thermal updrafts and wind streams, help birds conserve energy and travel vast distances. However, over 1400 years ago, the Qur\u2019an already alluded to this hidden phenomenon, describing how birds remain aloft by the will of Allah. In a time when air currents were completely unknown, this verse stands as another testament to the divine wisdom of the Qur\u2019an.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong data--h-bstatus=\"0OBSERVED\">Allah Himself says:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"quran-block-pro\">\n        <span class=\"verse-ref\">Quran 67:19<\/span>\n        <div class=\"verse-audio\">\n            <button class=\"play-button paused\" data-audio-playlist='[\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.islamic.network\\\/quran\\\/audio\\\/128\\\/ar.alafasy\\\/5260.mp3\"]'>\n                <svg class=\"play-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" fill=\"#363b45\" viewBox=\"0 0 256 256\">\n                    <path d=\"M240,128a15.74,15.74,0,0,1-7.6,13.51L88.32,229.65a16,16,0,0,1-16.2,.3A15.86,15.86,0,0,1,64,216.13V39.87a15.86,15.86,0,0,1,8.12-13.82,16,16,0,0,1,16.2,.3L232.4,114.49A15.74,15.74,0,0,1,240,128Z\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n                <svg class=\"pause-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" fill=\"#363b45\" viewBox=\"0 0 256 256\">\n                    <path d=\"M88,48V208a8,8,0,0,1-16,0V48a8,8,0,0,1,16,0ZM184,48V208a8,8,0,0,1-16,0V48a8,8,0,0,1,16,0Z\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n                <svg class=\"loading-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\" fill=\"#363b45\" viewBox=\"0 0 256 256\">\n                    <path d=\"M224,48V96a8,8,0,0,1-8,8H168a8,8,0,0,1-5.66-13.66L180.65,72a79.48,79.48,0,0,0-54.72-22.09h-.45A79.52,79.52,0,0,0,69.59,72.71,8,8,0,0,1,58.41,61.27,96,96,0,0,1,192,60.7l18.36-18.36A8,8,0,0,1,224,48ZM186.41,183.29A80,80,0,0,1,75.35,184l18.31-18.31A8,8,0,0,0,88,152H40a8,8,0,0,0-8,8v48a8,8,0,0,0,13.66,5.66L64,195.3a95.42,95.42,0,0,0,66,26.76h.53a95.36,95.36,0,0,0,67.07-27.33,8,8,0,0,0-11.18-11.44Z\">\n                        <animateTransform attributeName=\"transform\" attributeType=\"XML\" type=\"rotate\" dur=\"1s\" from=\"0 128 128\" to=\"360 128 128\" repeatCount=\"indefinite\"><\/animateTransform>\n                    <\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/div>\n        <big class=\"verse-original\">\u0623\u064e\u0648\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0645\u0652 \u064a\u064e\u0631\u064e\u0648\u0652\u0627\u06df \u0625\u0650\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0671\u0644\u0637\u0651\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0631\u0650 \u0641\u064e\u0648\u0652\u0642\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0635\u064e\u0670\u0653\u0641\u0651\u064e\u0670\u062a\u064d\u06e2 \u0648\u064e\u064a\u064e\u0642\u0652\u0628\u0650\u0636\u0652\u0646\u064e \u06da \u0645\u064e\u0627 \u064a\u064f\u0645\u0652\u0633\u0650\u0643\u064f\u0647\u064f\u0646\u0651\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0627 \u0671\u0644\u0631\u0651\u064e\u062d\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0670\u0646\u064f \u06da \u0625\u0650\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064f\u06e5 \u0628\u0650\u0643\u064f\u0644\u0651\u0650 \u0634\u064e\u0649\u0652\u0621\u064d\u06ed \u0628\u064e\u0635\u0650\u064a\u0631\u064c <span class=\"ayah-icon\">19<\/span><\/big>\n        <span class=\"verse-translation\">Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in?
