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. 2 hours ago, 313 Seeker said: Can you answer from the Qur'an verse you used, how it shows that the Earth is a ball?

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

313 Seeker 499 Report post Posted November 3 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?

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”.

The Green Knight 7,356 Report post Posted November 3 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.
