In the Quran the Earth is flat and the Sun Sets in a Murky Water
In the Quran the Earth is flat and the Sun Sets in a Murky Water The well Known common belief in Islam is the earth is flat and the mountains are to fix it and stabilize it in place. The heaven is flat to cover the earth and God stops it from falling on earth. The heaven is 7 layers (7 heavens) which the prophet Muhamed traveled through in the(Israa and Maarage). The earth is also 7 layers (7 earths) which the Devils live in. Some Islamic Schoolers today still argue the sphericity and the rotation of the earth. I have watched a schooler on video claiming if the earth rotates under an airplane, it should land in the same place it took off from.
Chapter 18 The cave سورة الكهف - Al-Kahf: Verse 86
Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it set in a spring of murkywater: Near it he found a People: We said: "O Zul-qarnain! (thou hast authority,) either to punish them, or to treat them with kindness."
[He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him].
مَدَدْ = madad = extend by drawing or pulling, stretch out, expand[5]
الذي جعل لكم الارض مهدا وسلك لكم فيها سبلا وانزل من السماء ماء فاخرجنا به ازواجا من نبات شتى
Allathee jaAAala lakumu al-arda mahdan wasalaka lakum feeha subulan waanzala mina alssama-imaan faakhrajna bihi azwajan min nabatinshatta
He Who has, made for you the earth like a carpet spread out; has enabled you to go about therein by roads (and channels); and has sent down water from the sky." With it have We produced diverse pairs of plants each separate from the others.
(Yea, the same that) has made for you the earth (like a carpet) spread out, and has made for you roads (and channels) therein, in order that ye may find guidance (on the way);
بِسَاطًا = bisaatan = A thing that is spread or spread out or forth, and particularly a carpet (from the same root we also have بَسَاطٌ = bisaatun = Land, expanded and even; and wide or spacious) [11]
مِهَٰدًا (same as مَهْدًا mahdan) = cradle or bed; a plain, even, or smooth expanse[12]peg
noun
plural noun: pegs
1.
a short cylindrical piece of wood, metal, or plastic, typically tapered at one end, that is used for holding things together, hanging things on, or marking a position.
Many Islamist apologists attempt to deflect criticism that the Qur'an promotes the mistaken belief of a flat earth by the word دَحَىٰهَآ (dahaha) used in Qur'an 79:30, commonly translated as ‘He spread it’ or ‘He stretched it’.
Arabic: والارض بعد ذلك دحاها
Transliteration:Waal-arda baAAda thalika dahaha
Literal: And the earth/Planet Earth after that He stretched/spread it. [13]
