![]() ![]() Just because Dhul-Qarnain saw it as setting in a spring does not indicate that it actually is setting in the water. "Spreading" has nothing to do with the shape.Ģ) "he (Dhul-Qarnain) found it setting in a spring of black muddy (or hot) water" You would probably take a glue stick & SPREAD the glue on the ball. Let’s assume we want to cover a table tennis ball with glitter for decoration. So this in no way indicates the earth to be flat. If you take a sphere (globe) and cover it with a cloth, you would be spreading it with the cloth but it would still be a sphere. None of the verses mentioned actually indicate the earth's shape being flat or sphere But if you need a detailed explanation of these 3 or any other verse feel free to open it as an individual question for a more detailed answer. ![]() I will try to answer in short here for each. I have identified 3 verses in the question (forgive me if I have missed any other). But the night or day are NOT physical entities to have a ball like motion but are a resultant of the earth having a ball like motion. Many would argue that this is in reference to the night or day and not the earth. This practically describes the relation of the earth wrt to night and day. So this verse says Allah created the heavens and the earth and "bowls" the night on the day and "bowls" the day overnight. Literally "ball like mass or core" actually. (Paste the word in google translate and see for yourself! It will tell you "ball" as a verb or see refrence below). But if you refer to the arabic root كَوِّرُ (kawiru) it means "ball" as a verb. Most translators use the word "overlap" etc for translating كَوِّرُ (kawiru). ![]() Is not He the Exalted in Power - He Who forgives again and again? He created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): He makes the Night overlap the Day, and the Day overlap the Night: He has subjected the sun and the moon (to His law): Each one follows a course for a time appointed. ![]()
