How would a flat earth and a geocentric universe bring comfort to you as a Muslim? How would the two verses you posted support your position? |

Imagine if everything you've been taught in the mosque was wrong or even a deliberate lie. "And the earth, We have made it a wide extent; how well have We then spread (it) out." (51:48) "Until when he reached the place where the sun set, he found it going down into a black sea..." (18:86) For a few thousand dollars you can travel around the world and see for yourself that the earth is a sphere, not "spread out" (i.e. flat); and that there is no "black sea" into which the sun sets. |

I am a simpleton when it comes to science, however I am now becoming more convinced by the argument for flat earth and geocentric universe.
From a religious point of view this makes sense to me as it comforts me to believe that God Almighty made the Earth for us and the Universe revolves around us (Earth). Imagine if everything we've been taught at school was wrong or even a deliberate lie. If so then we need to re-define our own world. The following verses from the Qur'an spring to mind. Sahih International And it is He who created
the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all [heavenly
bodies] in an orbit are swimming. 21:33
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. 30:40 Edited by Abu Loren - 06 June 2014 at 3:29am |
