Does the Quran say that the earth is flat??

The Earth is a sphere and that's all there is to it. All the evidence proves this to be so, including photographs of the Earth from space. It's not a conspiracy, what the hell would anyone have to gain by pretending the planet's spherical rather than flat?

[Quran 39.5] [God] Created the heavens and the Earth in truth. He overlaps [Yukawer in Arabic يُكَوِّرُ] the night over the day and overlaps [Yukawer يُكَوِّرُ] the day over the night, and enslaved the sun and the moon. ALL MOVE (Kullon Yajree كل يجري) to a prerecorded destiny. Is He not the Exalted, the Forgiver?

The Arabic word "Kura" means ball; its verb "Yukawer يُكَوِّرُ" means to make into a ball. The Quran says that the overlapping of the night and the day makes a ball (sphere). Here also the Quran is referring to ALL MOVING, not only the sun and moon but also Earth. In Arabic grammar there is difference between the singular (one), binary (two) and plural (three or more). The reference to binary is "Kulahuma Yajreean كلاهما يجريان" however the Quran said "Kullon yajree كل يجري" referring to the plural (three or more). Since the sun and moon are just two but the Quran refers to three or more then according to the Quran all the three move: sun, moon and Earth.The Quran says that Earth has a diameter (diameter is simply twice the radius).

[Quran 55,33] O company of Jinn and man, escape the diameters (Aktar in Arabic اقطار) of the Heavens and the Earth if you can, You won't escape without authority.

Diameter in Arabic is Kutr قطر. Its plural is Aktar اقطار. Radii and diameters are properties of circles or spheres only. This conforms with the previous verse, to make into a ball [Yukawer يُكَوِّرُ].

Pilgrim? Is this you again?

Here's someone talking about your thread topic and giving evidence that contradicts your original statement : "I can't find anything in the Quran which states the earth as being a sphere, or a ball."

Aren't you going to respond to this information?

Read the thread through and see the reactions, someone even said they felt sick.

He has not ears to hear nor eyes to see Notnek. Neither will he set up the simple pendulum I challenged him to make which would prove to him that the Earth moves. His ego will not permit the humility required to admit when he is wrong.

LOL, no. I legit googled it.

So are you saying the Quran says it's a stationary ball then?

I just think that if he doesn't respond to these things then the thread is pointless. It's not "Does the Quran say that the Earth is flat?" but "The Quran says that the Earth is flat.".

That's why the thread is mainly just people criticising the flat Earth theory.

Why are you so concerned about this thread mate to write what you do?

The Quran says that the sun, the moon and the Earth are all moving.

You are not a Muslim. Who are you to deny the scholars of Mecca and verses in the Quran? What happens when Muslims begin to bring your beliefs under the microscope, seeing as you're so confident questioning theirs? Feel confident defending them Mr Spinningball man? Be careful in the bed in your house tonight, clinging to the side of your ball. Wouldn't want you rolling out of it and sleeping on the wall would we now?

What sort of crackpot logic is this? Anyone can deny and refute verses in the Quran, be they Muslim or no.

You clearly don't know how gravity works, the entire spherical planet is pulling you towards the centre of the Earth so you're not going to fly off it or roll off.

Great, another sphere believer.

When will you follow scientific evidence and realise the earth is flat?
