Flat Earth in Islam

According to the Holy Bible

The Earth is flat and has four corners

The sphericity of the Earth in Christianity

The Sphericity of the Earth in Christianity

According to the Quran and the Sunnah The Earth is spherical by consensus of scholars

The consensus has been transmitted by Ibn Hazm Al-Andalusi,

Ibn Taymiyyah Al-Harrani, and

Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah

---

He Wraps the Night over the Day and Wraps the Day over the Night.

This only happens if the Earth is a sphere and day and night revolve around it.

(He spread out the earth - and the earth We spread out - and to the earth, how it was spread out - and the earth after that He spread out - a carpet - a bed) So the earth being flat in relation to man who cultivates and builds on it does not negate its sphericity as a large body, but rather confirms it, as the earth is not always spread out unless it is a ball, because if it were flat it would have edges that would hinder its permanent spreading out.

Imām al-Haramayn (d. 478) describes a spherical Earth when he said “There is no difference of opinion that the sun sets for a certain group of people while it rises for another, and the night is longer for some and shorter for others, but at the equator; night and day are equal.”

Ibn Khurdāḏbah (d. 280AH) was a Muslim scientist who perfectly described the spherical shape of the earth and its gravitational pull ~1200 years ago.
