 
Orbits of Electrons
 Tens of electrons,
which spin and orbit in an area unobservable even by the most
powerful microscopes, create an extremely complex traffic
inside the atom as we mentioned earlier. This traffic, however,
is so orderly as to be incomparably more orderly than the
most systematic city traffic. Electrons never collide with
each other, because each electron has a separate orbit and
these orbits never coincide.
Electrons follow an extremely complex orbit within the atom.
Although a much more crowded environment than city traffic
is formed in such a small place, not even one accident takes
place.
There are 7 electron shells around the nucleus of the atom.
The numbers of electrons in these seven electron shells that
never change have been specified by a mathematical formula:
2n2. The maximum numbers of electrons that can
be present in each electron shell around the atom have been
fixed by this formula. (The letter n in the formula shows
the electron shell number). That the endless number of electron
shells of atoms making up the universe precisely stick to
the same number by obeying the 2n2 formula indicates
order. That no chaos occurs inside the atom although the
electrons move about at incredible speeds is a further indication
of this unique order. This is an order that can by no means
be attributed to coincidence. The only explanation for the
existence of this order is that God created everything as
a manifestation of His power in an order and harmony as told
in the Qur'an. God refers to this order He created in the
verses of the Qur'an:
...God has appointed a measure for all
things. (Qur'an, 65:3)
…He created everything and determined it
most exactly. (Qur'an, 25:2)
Everything has its measure with Him, the
Knower of the Unseen and the Visible, the Most Great, the
High-Exalted. (Qur'an, 13:8-9)
As for the earth, We stretched it out and
cast firmly embedded mountains in it and made everything
grow in due proportion on it. (Qur'an, 15:19)
The sun and the moon both run with precision.
(Qur'an, 55:5)
He erected heaven and established the balance.
(Qur'an, 55:7)
As the verses reveal, God, the Lord of all the worlds, is
He Who creates everything in perfect proportion, measure and
order. This proportion and measure cover the entire realm
of beings from the smallest sub-atomic particle to the gigantic
celestial bodies in space: solar systems, galaxies and everything
between them. This is the outcome of the endless and infinite
might, knowledge, artistry and wisdom of God. God introduces
His attributes to human beings in the perfect measure, order,
and equilibrium in the beings and systems He creates. He displays
His endless power before our very eyes. This is the truth
to which all scientific research and calculations must lead
man.
