What do you think of flat earthers?

Sorry if I have been defensive. Wish you all the best on this Earth whatever shape it is, flat or not flat. If you find some killer proofs that the flat earthers haven't been able to answer please share them. Thanks 

Will do, wish you a good and meaningful life in this dunya as well.

On a more final note in an Islamic forum:

I challenge every Muslim to explain how Earth can be a ball floating in the heavens if the Earth was created prior to the heavens according to Qur'an and also hadith I mentioned above?

If people want to comment about how you can spread out a shape into a ball also let me know. As in farash and maddad. 

 

Salaam and may the Truth be with us

If that is the case then its not 3, but 

Heavens 

Earth

Night 

Day

Sun

Moon

.. that's if you add up all the nouns.

The motion of heavens, day and night is because of the motion of Earth. So we ends up with the motion of 3, Sun, Moon & Earth.

Can you answer from the Qur'an verse you used, how it shows that the Earth is a ball?

The word "Aqtaar", then the phrase "kullon yajree" which means Earth is not static. Then the phrases "Two Easts" (Mashriqayn), "Two Wests" (Maghribayn).

If you want to study motion in Qur'an find me a single verse that directly talks about movement of Earth like heavenly bodies like this

لَا الشَّمْسُ يَنبَغِي لَهَا أَن تُدْرِكَ الْقَمَرَ وَلَا اللَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ ۚ وَكُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ - 36:40

It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.

 

Earth is usually referred to as stable fixed by mountains and spread out like a bed or carpet. 

Surah An-Noor, Verse 44:
يُقَلِّبُ اللَّهُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّأُولِي الْأَبْصَارِ

Allah turns over the night and the day; most surely there is a lesson in this for those who have sight.
 

This coming & going of day & night in fact has many lessons for those who have sight. Please have a look how flat Earth model explains this phenomena. Its really disgusting!

Which Earth & which heavens you are talking about? There are many Earths

Surah At-Talaq, Verse 12:
اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَمِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزَّلُ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا

أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّ أَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the Earth were closed up, but We have opened them; and We have made of water everything living, will they not then believe?
(English - Shakir)

 

[313 Seeker 499]

Let us be honest here and refer to Qur'an for those who fear God, @Cool

 

Look at the chronology from Fusilat in Qur'an:

 1. And He placed on the Earth firmly set mountains over its surface 11

2. Then He directed Himself to the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the Earth, "Come [into being], willingly or by compulsion." They said, "We have come willingly." 12

3. And He completed them as seven heavens within two days and inspired in each heaven its command. And We adorned the nearest heaven with lamps and as protection. 13

 

As you can see without doubt that Earth is described as stable and that it existed before heaven was still smoke and no 'lights'.

Continue:

Have those who disbelieved not considered that the heavens and the Earth were a joined entity, and We separated them 21:30 

.. so we know two things for fact

1. Earth was before heavens 

2. Heaven was cleared from Earth

Earth like everything was made from water.

And We placed within the Earth firmly set mountains, lest it should shift with them 21:31

 

.. sound like a ball in space to you? 

 

And We made the sky a protected ceiling, but they, from its signs, are turning away. 21:32

 

.. sky a ceiling? Sounds awfully like the firmament in the bible doesn't it?

No mention of creation of heaven/smoke.

Quote

H 14515 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Muhammad Bin Dawood from Muhammad Bin Atiyya who said: 

 

" ‘A man from the scholars of the people of Syria (Al-Shaam) came up to Abu Ja’far .. He Existed when there was nothing other than Him. And He Created the thing from which are all things, and it is the water from which He Created the things. So He Lineage everything to the water and did not Make a lineage for the water to which it can be ascribed. And He Created the wind from the water, then Made the wind to overcome the water. So the wind sent down into the body of the water until foam swirled from the water in accordance with what He so Desired it to swirl. So He Created from that foam, pure white land with no crack in it, nor any holes, neither ascending nor descending, and no tree. Then He Folded it, so He Placed it on top of the water. Then Allah Created the fire from the water, so the fire bust out of the body of the water until smoke arose from the water in accordance with Allah so Desired it to rise. So He Created from that smoke, clear and pure sky in which there were no cracks nor any holes, and that is His Statement: “[79:27] Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it. [79:28] He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state. [79:29] And He made dark its night and brought out its light”. He said: ‘And there was no sun, and no moon, and no stars and no clouds. Then He Folded it and Placed it upon the Earth, then Established two creations. Then He Raised the sky before the Earth, so that is His Statement, Mighty is His Mention: “[79:30] And the Earth, He expanded it after that”. He Said that He Spread it out’. ..."

The truth is simple and easy to grasp as it is laid bare for those who can see. For those who can not see, or will not see, its no use. As in this case, they will just keep on trying to fix a lie on the Qur'an no matter if it just doesn't stick and come up with explanations of their own choice, the one they want. Just like some of them explain away that their "three gods are but one God while being three but while being one simultaneously"

I suppose these are for harvesting rain water?

If there was a literate person not from some village among the flat earthers, they would know or they would simply google how radio antennas and specifically a parabolic antenna works and why it matters where it is pointed and how dish TV antennas were/are an industry and part of consumer electronics business. They could telephonically call any person of this field to find out the truth.

But they won't.
