Why the Koran stated that the earth is flat and its mountains are like poles which create a balance?

so that the Earth does not tilt. See Qur'an, Suras 79:30 (And the Earth after that He(Allah) FLATTENED it.; and 18:47 (and you will see the earth a leveled plain). The Jewish/Christian Bible revealed that the earth is round in Isaiah 40:22 and via Job (26:7). Speaking of God in Isaiah 40:22, the Jewish/Christian Bible says; "It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. Funny isn't it, that the Bible said the earth was a "circle", even when everyone believed the earth was flat". Job 26:7 says, "He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing".

  2. circle does not mean spherical
  3. circles are flat genius
  4. a circle IS flat.
  5. well maybe the author of koran did not accompany Magellan
  6. Well you see a circle is two dimensional and can still be flat. A sphere is what the earth is, not a circle. Which kinda makes you point mute.
  7. UR SO FUNNY well b4 starting telling us THE way U UNDERSTOOD THESE BELOVED WORDS.......read little more about Islam and koran it means that god made earth easy to live on....i mean i cant live or stand on something unless its flatted....right??...IT DINT MEAN THE EARTH SHAPE ......... proud MUslim girl
  8. Qur'an is the first book that mentioned earth is round.
  9. The Qur'an can't be accurately translated into other languages without losing it's precise meaning, 79:30 means that Allah made it surfaced "Sa'tah'aha" not flattened. You forgot to state this verse: [27.88] And you see the mountains, you think them to be solid, and they shall pass away as the passing away of the cloud-- the handiwork of Allah Who has made every thing thoroughly; surely He is Aware of what you do.
  10. Ha ha ha , that such a big lie, u liar!!!!!!! look at the above to two answeres they area absolutely right, u fool. The Jewish/Christian Bible have been re-written millions of time, they are not true This is what is Suras 79:30 And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse); and by the way the earth is not a circle ha ha ,there goes ur bible theory wrong
  11. you are telling a lie Science discovered Big Bang Theory. The whole universe was one ‘Primary Nebula’ and which further split to form things such as our solar system. Allah says in Holy Qur'an Surah Al-Anbiya, Ch. No. 21, Verse No. 30 . ‘Do not the unbelievers see. the heavens and the earth were joined together, and We clove them asunder? science discovered that the universe was in the state of ‘gas’. Allah says in Holy Qur’an, Surah Fussilat, Ch. No. 41, verse 11, ‘Moreover, in His design He comprehended the sky, and it had been smoke. And He said to it and the earth, come ye together willingly or unwillingly, and they said we come together in willing obedience’. Science discovered that the shape of the earth is Geo-Spherical. Allah says in Holy Qur’an, Surah Naziat, Ch. No. 79, Verse No. 30. ‘And thereafter, We have made the earth egg-shaped’. Allah says in Holy Qur’an, Surah Al Zumar, Ch. No. 39, Verse No. 5, ‘It is Allah who has created the heavens and the earth in true proportion and he overlaps and coils the night unto the day and overlaps or coils the day unto the night’. Allah says in Holy Qur’an, Surah Luqman, Ch. No. 31, Verse 29 ‘It is Allah that merges the night unto the day and merges the day unto the night’. Science discovered that the moon has reflected light of sun. Allah says in Holy Qur'an, Surah Yunus, Ch. No. 10, Verse No. 5 ‘It is Allah who has created the Sun as a shining glory and the Moon having a reflection of light’. Allah says in Holy Qur’an, Surah Furqan, Ch. No. 25, Verse No. 61 ‘Blessed is He who has created the constellations in the sky, and placed therein a lamp, and Moon having borrowed light’. Science discovered that every planet, in solar system, is revolving around the sun and also rotating about its own axis. Allah says in Holy Qur'an, Surah Al-Anbiya, Ch. No. 21, Verse No. 33. ‘It is Allah who has created the night and the day, the Sun and the Moon, each one travelling in a orbit, with its own motion’. Allah says in The Holy Qur'an, Surah Yasin, Ch. No. 36, Verse No. 40 ‘It is not permitted for the Sun to catch up with the Moon, nor the night to outstrip the day. Each one travelling in an orbit with its own motion’. Science discovered that the Sun is moving at a speed of 12 miles per second, and it is going to a point called Solar Apex. Allah says in Holy Qur'an, Surah Yasin, Ch. No. 36, Verse No. 38 ‘That the Sun is running its course to a place determined, for a period determined’. Allah says in Holy Qur’an in Surah Rad, Ch. No. 13, Verse No. 2; in Surah Fatir, Ch. No. 35, Verse No. 13; in Surah Luqman, Ch. No. 31, Verse No. 29; in Surah Al-Zumar, Ch. No. 39, Verse No. 5. ‘The Sun and the Moon runs its course for a period determined’. The Science discovered that the universe is expanding. Allah says in Holy Qur'an in Surah Dhariat, Ch. No. 51, Verse No. 47 ‘It is We who have constructed with power and skill, the firmaments - and It is We who make the vastness, and the expanding universe’. The science discovered atom can be divided. Allah says in Holy Qur'an, Surah Sabah, Ch. No. 34, Verse No. 3. ‘When the unbelievers say that the hour will never come - tell them… it will surely come with the permission of the Lord who has the knowledge of the unseen, who has in His record, the minutest detail of an atom in the heaven and in the earth - and in His record is perspicuous things, smaller and greater than the ‘atom’. The science discovered Water Cycle. Allah says Holy Quran, Surah Al-Zumur, Ch. No. 39, Verse No 21 ‘Sees't thou not that it is Allah who sends down rain from the sky, and seeps it in the sources in the ground - in the springs in the earth, and causes sown seed of various colours to grow’. Allah says in Holy Qur’an, Surah Muminun, Ch. No. 23, Verse No 18, ‘It is Allah who sends down rain in due measure, we are able to store it, and We are also able to easily drain it’. Allah says in Qur’an, Surah Al-Hijr, Ch. No. 15, Verse No 22, ‘We send fecundating winds, winds impregnating, and cause rain to descend from the sky, and give you water in due measure’.
  12. It looks to me that the koran is just like the bible, a whole bunch of stuff written by uneducated stone age man. It is so sad to see so many people taking all this stuff [deadly] serious.
  13. Lets assume the meaning you adopted.. "Flat".. The earth cannot be flat unless you find earth wherever you walk, every end you reach, you find a flat land.. This can't be unless the object is spherical....
  14. You sir are wrong and your question is flawed... Read your bible better next time... Chronicles 16:30: “He has fixed the earth firm, immovable.” Daniel 4:10-11. In Daniel, the king “saw a tree of great height at the centre of the earth...reaching with its top to the sky and visible to the earth's farthest bounds.” Matthew 4:8 says, “Once again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world [cosmos] in their glory.” Isaiah 11:12: "And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the FOUR CORNERS of the earth."
  15. A circle is not a sphere. Round is not a sphere. A round circle is still flat. Apparently your God flunked Geometry.
  16. 18:47 refers to a day in the future when God will cause the mountains to pass away (like clouds of dust) and the earth will be levelled. It does not say it IS this way, it says God will make it this way. Referring to the end, duh. 79:30 just says the God created the earth, laid it out, spread it out. Different ways to describe the arabic word in english but it isn't calling the earth flat.
  17. OK the world is already flattened? And then we will see the earth flattened (levelled) again? You think there could be something wrong with your interpretation?
  18. FYI: this is not an answer but a mere suggestion on your question. Point of information! just take a research on Coppernicus and the difference between heliocentric (i.e) sun is the center of the universe and geocentric belief of Christians before. And if you're saying that the christian believes that the earth is round, I think you're wrong. Even Galileo Galilie supported Coppernicus that resulted in his house arrest in the tower of Pizza by the Roman Catholic priest instead of undergone an inquisition by the Roman Catholic Dogma. In Isaiah 40:22 you have added the pronoun "who" that makes the context differ from its meaning and there was no word "circle" in it. I am holding three bibles right now and I cannot find the word "who" and "circle" in any of the three bibles that im holding.
  19. You don't have your facts right. If you have really asked this question in earnest and DO want to know then I suggest you visit www.harunyahya.com. This is an authentic site which specializes in many scientific facts discussed in Quran. An interesting read.
  20. THE KORAN IS NOT A SCIENTIFIC BOOK ALTHOUGH THIS MAY UPSETS MUSLIMS
