Mountains are mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

[7:74] “Recall that He made you inheritors after `Aad, and established you on earth, building mansions in its valleys, and carving homes from its mountains. You shall remember God’s blessings, and do not roam the earth corruptingly.”

[13:3] He is the One who constructed the earth and placed on it mountains and rivers. And from the different kinds of fruits, He made them into pairs – males and females. The night overtakes the day. These are solid proofs for people who think.

[13:31] Even if a Quran caused mountains to move, or the earth to tear asunder, or the dead to speak (they will not believe). God controls all things. Is it not time for the believers to give up and realize that if God willed, He could have guided all the people? The disbelievers will continue to suffer disasters, as a consequence of their own works, or have disasters strike close to them, until God’s promise is fulfilled. God will never change the predetermined destiny.

[14:46] They schemed their schemes, and God is fully aware of their schemes. Indeed, their schemes were sufficient to erase mountains.

[15:19] As for the earth, we constructed it, and placed on it stabilizers (mountains), and we grew on it a perfect balance of everything.

[15:82] They used to carve secure homes out of the mountains.

[16:15] And He placed stabilizers (mountains) on earth, lest it tumbles with you, as well as rivers and roads, that you may be guided.

[16:68] And your Lord inspired the bee: build homes in mountains and trees, and in (the hives) they build for you.

[16:81] And God provided for you shade through things which He created, and provided for you shelters in the mountains, and provided for you garments that protect you from heat, and garments that protect when you fight in wars. He thus perfects His blessings upon you, that you may submit.

[17:37] You shall not walk proudly on earth – you cannot bore through the earth, nor can you be as tall as the mountains.

[18:47] The day will come when we wipe out the mountains, and you will see the earth barren. We will summon them all, not leaving out a single one of them.

[19:90] The heavens are about to shatter, the earth is about to tear asunder, and the mountains are about to crumble.

[20:105] They ask you about the mountains. Say, “My Lord will wipe them out.

[21:79] We granted Solomon the correct understanding, though we endowed both of them with wisdom and knowledge. We committed the mountains to serve David in glorifying (God), as well as the birds. This is what we did.

[22:18] Do you not realize that to God prostrates everyone in the heavens and the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and the animals, and many people? Many others among the people are committed to doom. Whomever God shames, none will honor him. Everything is in accordance with God’s will.

[26:149] “You carve out of the mountains luxurious mansions.

[27:61] Who is the One who made the earth habitable, caused rivers to run through it, placed on it mountains, and created a barrier between the two waters? Is it another god with God? Indeed, most of them do not know.

[27:88] When you look at the mountains, you think that they are standing still. But they are moving, like the clouds. Such is the manufacture of God, who perfected everything. He is fully Cognizant of everything you do.

[31:10] He created the heavens without pillars that you can see. He established on earth stabilizers (mountains) lest it tumbles with you, and He spread on it all kinds of creatures. We send down from the sky water to grow all kinds of beautiful plants.

[33:72] We have offered the responsibility (freedom of choice) to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains, but they refused to bear it, and were afraid of it. But the human being accepted it; he was transgressing, ignorant.

[34:10] We endowed David with blessings from us: “O mountains, submit with him, and you too, O birds.” We softened the iron for him.

[35:27] Do you not realize that God sends down from the sky water, whereby we produce fruits of various colors? Even the mountains have different colors; the peaks are white, or red, or some other color. And the ravens are black.

[38:18] We committed the mountains in his service, glorifying with him night and day.

[41:10] He placed on it stabilizers (mountains), made it productive, and He calculated its provisions in four days, to satisfy the needs of all its inhabitants.

[50:7] And we created the earth, and scattered on it mountains, and grew in it all kinds of beautiful plants.

[52:10] The mountains will be wiped out.

[56:5] The mountains will be wiped out.

[69:14] The earth and the mountains will be carried off and crushed; utterly crushed.

[70:9] The mountains will be like fluffy wool.

[73:14] The day will come when the earth and the mountains will quake, and the mountains will turn into a weightless pile.

[77:10] The mountains are blown up.

[77:27] We placed on it high mountains, and provided you with fresh water to drink.

[78:7] And the mountains stabilizers?

[78:20] The mountains will be removed, as if they were a mirage.

[79:32] He established the mountains.

[81:3] The mountains are wiped out.

[88:19] And the mountains and how they are constructed.

[101:1] The Shocker.

[101:2] What a shocker!

[101:3] Do you have any idea what the Shocker is?

[101:4] That is the day when the people come out like swarms of butterflies.

[101:5] The mountains will be like fluffy wool.

[101:6] As for him whose weights are heavy.

[101:7] He will lead a happy (eternal) life.

[101:8] As for him whose weights are light.

[101:9] His destiny is lowly.

[101:10] Do you know what it is?

[101:11] The blazing Hellfire.
