أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُزْجِي سَحَابًا ثُمَّ يُؤَلِّفُ بَيْنَهُ ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُ رُكَامًا فَتَرَى الْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلَالِهِ وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ السَّمَاء مِن جِبَالٍ فِيهَا مِن بَرَدٍ فَيُصِيبُ بِهِ مَن يَشَاء وَيَصْرِفُهُ عَن مَّن يَشَاء يَكَادُ سَنَا بَرْقِهِ يَذْهَبُ بِالْأَبْصَارِ
do you not see that Allah drives along with the clouds, then gathers them together, then piles them up, so that you see the rain coming forth from their midst? Moreover, he sends down of the clouds that are (like) mountains wherein is hail, afflicting therewith whom he pleases and turning it away from whom he pleases; the flash of his lightning almost takes away the sight (43)

What you read above was the translation of the 43rd verse of Nour (light) chapter of Koran.

A child who is in primary school knows that hail is composed of solidification of raindrops in the atmosphere, but the omniscient Allah assumes that there are mountains in the sky and hail are come down from these mountains. Maybe a reason that Muslim countries are not developed is that they try to make themselves as knowledgeable as their God does. Muslims and Allah must suit each other. Allah assumes that heaven is a solid place. He does not know about the science of astronomy and he does not know about experimental sciences either. However, if you show these kinds of verses to a Muslim, he tries to justify the mistakes. He will tell you that Koran needs interpretation. We cannot understand the real meaning of the verses, a clergy who is an expert in Islamic jurisprudence should interpret these verses and so …
We will never understand why Allah should talk in mystery in a way that he looks like an insane person that cannot control his speeches.
