The Earth
"Sutihat" (formed
after a splat, is pressed and expanded),
and the Bulging
Miracle - Mentioned in the Glorious Quran and confirmed by Science:
The sections of this article are:
1- The Noble Quran's Divine Claims.
(a)- The Giant
Impact and the Big Splat!
(b)- What does
Sutihat (سطحت)
mean? (c)- Sutihat (سطحت)
means that the earth was formed after the
Big Splat!
(d)- The Bible's flat earth.
2- The Scientific Proofs. 3- What other word could
possibly sum all of these events up? 4- Conclusion.
5- Rebuttals.
The Noble Quran is filled with scientific statements and notions. These
are statements of Allah Almighty describing how He created things on earth
and in the Universe. What's most amazing is that all of these scientific
statements and notions had been proven to be in
perfect
agreement with science and our modern-day scientific
discoveries. Allah Almighty made the Noble Quran be Prophet Muhammad's
(peace be upon him) Everlasting Divine Miracle and proof for Prophethood.
The Holy Book certainly stood the test of time 1,500 years ago with Its
Claims, Prophecies and Miraculous language eloquence, and it does again and
again in our day today with Its overwhelming agreement with science and
discoveries that were not known to man 1,500 years ago.
Allah Almighty Said: "We will
soon show them Our signs in the Universe
and inside their selves, until it will become quite
clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your
Lord that He is a witness over all things?
(The Noble Quran, 41:53)"
With this said, let us look at what Allah Almighty Said in the Glorious
Quran:
Noble Verse(s) 88:19-88:20
Yusuf
Ali:
[088:019] And at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?-
[088:020] And at the Earth, how it

Two hypothetical Super Massive Black Holes
that are
100s of Light Years away, or even much closer just
here in our Milky Way Galaxy that contains Billions of
Stars and Black Holes, could stretch earth. Scientists
concur to this future possibility.
Is the best planet among its group.
Well balanced.
Was expanded and its waters came from it.
Iron was sent down to it from space.(Scientists call this "The Giant Impactor
theory,
The Big Splat")
Came into existence after the Big Bang.
Exists in a Universe that is currently expanding.
Exists in a Universe that will be Cosmically
Crunched and be rolled back like the rolling of the scrolls.
NASA also confirmed this.
Will be destroyed and a second earth will be
created for Resurrection.
And much more....
Please visit the following detailed article for ample Quranic and Scientific
proofs and details on all of the points above:
Allah Almighty mentioned in the Glorious Quran that
He Sent down iron to
earth from outer space. Scientists strongly believe that earth
was slammed with a gigantic asteroid that was made up of mostly iron that had
completely shattered and destroyed it, and caused for its flying rock-debris to
wrap around the asteroid's iron body, which was as big as planet Mars, to
form our modern-day earth's iron core. The flying rock-debris formed a
ring around the earth like that of Saturn's. From the flying rock-debris
our moon was formed. The reason why the moon doesn't have iron in it is
because the debris was all made up of the original earth's material; only rock.
Scientists call this event, which created the iron core of the earth,
"The Giant Impactor: The Big Splat":
The liquid iron core makes much of the
earth's gravity and its magnetic field,
which protects the earth from dangerous cosmic radiation, by
the History & Discovery Channels.
During my
debate
with him, David Wood quoted an Islamic source that said:
Sutihat means made flat!
I personally agree with both David Wood and with the English translations
above. The earth's surface is indeed made flat for us, humans, by Allah
Almighty's Divine Mercy, to make life be balanced and comfortable on earth for
us. We know that Allah Almighty in ample Noble Verses Spoke about the
earth's spherical shape, suspension in space, movement in space, balance, and
much more. So looking at Sutihat
in light of these Noble Verses becomes quite clear that we do also have a
Divine Scientific Miracle in this Noble Verse. One doesn't have to investigate far to see that the earth's
surface does indeed feel flat to the humans living on it.
(b)- What does Sutihat
(سطحت)
mean?
So what does sutihat (سطحت)
mean? And what did it mean to the Arabs of old, 1,500 years ago and
much earlier?
We first of all, have to understand that in Arabic, many words, especially in
the Glorious Quran, encompass several meanings. Sutihat (سطحت)
is certainly a great example for this. Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon
him, also said:
Narrated Abu Huraira: "I heard Allah's Apostle saying,
"I have been sent with Jawami al-Kalim (i.e., the shortest expression
carrying the widest meanings), and I was made victorious with awe (caste
into the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the
treasures of the earth were brought to me and were put in my hand." Muhammad
said, Jawami'-al-Kalim means that Allah expresses in one or two statements or
thereabouts the numerous matters that used to be written in the books revealed
before (the coming of) the Prophet.
(Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Interpretation of Dreams, Volume 9, Book 87,
Number 141)"
Allah Almighty, in the Glorious Quran,
Gives Pithy Words with deep
meanings to them.
Now according to:
The ten-book Lisan Al-Arab dictionary [1]
, Book 2, Page 261.
سطح
(sataha) means to lay something pressed, bloated, made flat on the ground or to spread it:
This is also Scientifically correct and requires no detailed analysis.
Earth today encompasses 6.5 to 7.0 billion human beings. And it hold
double and triple and quadruple this number, with ease!
It is man and
his greed and evil that make
earth tight for us!
(c)- Sutihat
(سطحت)
means that the earth was formed after the Big Splat!
In light of the other Noble Verses that I referenced above, and in light of
the definitions and the Scientific facts above, it is clear that Sutihat means
that the earth as we know it today (inhabitable, balanced, full of life and
stability) was formed after the Big Splat. It doesn't mean that the
earth is a flat sheet of paper. Not only that, but the Arabic root word
for Sutihat, when applied to people, it also means having a bloat, or is
bloated (مسطوح), because he/she is pressed from the
gasses or excessive food inside him/her. We've also seen above that
this is one of the word's main meanings. The earth is certainly
experiencing the bloating in its sides because it is bulged and pressed from both the
North and South Poles, causing it to be bloated in the middle. See the
next main-section below for ample proofs and pictures.
And again, in other Noble Verses, we read in the Glorious Quran about the
earth being:
[079:031] From
it, He produced its
own water and pasture.
Below in this article, we'll see the ample proofs that the earth was
indeed SPREAD OUT SPHERICALLY.
And Scientists have proven that water does indeed originate from its
planets when they're hot enough and are located in the Goldilocks
Zone when orbiting their sun.
As thoroughly detailed in
this detailed article,
I thoroughly demonstrated using 7 encyclopedic dictionaries that
DAHA دحاها
means:
1- To push.
2- To throw.
دحا (daha): دفعه و رمى به (dafa'aahu wa ramaa bih)
Caused it to move, pushed it, or threw it.
دحا الصبي المِدحاةَ أي دفع الصبي المِدحاةَ Daha the
boy the rolling toy, means the boy pushed the rolling toy.
3- To make
something roll,
as inDAHA
the barrel from the top of the hill,
which means he rolled it down from the top of the hill. Also, this
is where the Arabic word DAHRAJA is derived from, which means to
make something roll down.
4- To make
something round.
I used several examples forROUND
AND BULGED TUMMY,
and making round objects. I even used a Hadith from Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, when he said:
In Prophet Muhammad's Hadith: كان لأسامة بطننٌ مُندحٌ
اي متسع Osama had a round and big tummy.
Also the dictionary says:
الدحداح هو المستدير الململم The dahdaah is the
person who is ROUND and STOCKY.
و بطنٌ مُنداحُ أي خارخٌ مُدوّر His tummy is
mun-daahun means it is OUT THERE AND ROUND مُدوّر.
So when Allah Almighty DAHA THE EARTH, it means that
Allah AlmightyEXPANDED
IT SPHERICALLYthrough
rotating around itself and moving in its orbit in space. And this
is why Allah Almighty Said after that (after He DAHAHA), He brought
forth from itits
water and pasture.
Science has proven this to be 100% accurate and True:
1-
Water was brought forth from the earth - Science confirmed it and
the Holy Quran claimed it 1400 years ago:
Note:
In Article #3'S video in
the article, the collision of the iron-planet made our earth
EGG-SHAPED, according to the Scientists and the
video.
عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما ان
رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سئل :هذه المغارب اين تغرب ؟ وهذه
المطالع اين تطلع ؟ فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم هي على رسلها لا تبرح ولا
تزول , تغرب عن قوم وتطلع على قوم ,وتغرب عن قوم وتطلع , فقوم يقولون
غربت ,وقوم يقولون طلعت
"Ibn Abbas
narrated on Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, that the Prophet
was asked: Where does the sun go after all of these sunsets? And
where does it come from after all of these sunrises? The Prophet,
peace be upon him, replied: It is in constant motion. It
doesn't stop nor disappear. It sets on people and
rises on others, and it sets on people and rises on others (See also Isaiah 1:9-17: Yahweh called Israel Sodom, because it spreads evil and is unjust). So
people would say it has risen while others say it has set."

Allah Almighty
in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:
- Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1]. - Is rotating around itself. - Is moving in space in
curvy orbits [2]. - Is in constant motion. - Is suspended in space. - Is
swimming in space. - Is traveling through the constantly
expanding universe [3].
- The
sunsetless
North Pole miracle in the Glorious Quran
[4].
At the top of
the North Pole, the sun never sets[4], and I
showed the video for that, and also quoted the
scientific sources for that. Also in the lands
near by, it almost never sets either, and I
quoted sources for that as well, and also showed
pictures of the "polar
night" skies on these lands that are near the sunsetless North Pole.
They also spoke almost unintelligibly (18:93), the Glorious Quran says. They hardly spoke intelligibly (18:93). Historians have proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak unintelligibly. The actual meaning of the word "Barbarian" is someone who speaks unintelligibly.
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, saw the
aurora lights covering the
horizons of space above the earth when he
was taken up to Heaven:
Narrated
Abdullah: "Regarding
the Verse: “Indeed he (Muhammad)
did see. Of
the Signs of his Lord, The Greatest!”
(Quran 53.18)
That the Prophet had seen a green
carpet spread all over the
horizon of the sky قَالَ رَأَى رَفْرَفًا أَخْضَرَ سَدَّ أُفُقَ السَّمَاء."
(Translation of Sahih
Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 456)
Regarding Dhil-Qarnayn (literally means "man of two horns"), Allah Almighty said
this about his journey to the farthest
northern lands and people:
18:90 حتى اذا بلغ مطلع الشمس وجدها تطلع على
قوم لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر
"Until he reached near
حتى اذا بلغ
where the sun is up
مطلع
الشمس,
he found it above
وجدها تطلع على
people
قوم
whom We
made no cover for them from it
لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر.
(The Noble Quran, 18:90)"
Noble Verse(s)
18:91
Rodwell:
[018:091]
Thus it was.
And we had
full knowledge
of the forces that were with him.
Arabic (Read from right to
left. Also, all png image files: [1]
[2]. Quran Moral Code (100s of them)]):
18:91 كذلك
وقد احطنا
بما لديه خبرا
Prophet Muhammad
"did see"
(Quran 53.18)
the
Aurora Lights
covering the horizons above the earth from
space. Dhil-Qarnayn went up to the
farthest northern lands where the sun is up, and
"Thus
it was", Allah Almighty
completed the "full
knowledge" regarding
Dhil-Qarnayn's mission.
This
further supports the story below about
Dhil-Qarnayn's journey
to the farthest northern lands and people (The
sunsetless [4]
North Pole Quran-miracle). They also spoke almost unintelligibly (18:93), the Glorious Quran says. They hardly spoke intelligibly (18:93). For example, can you read or say this:
"Vaðlaheiðarvegavinnuverkfærageymsluskúrslyklakippuhringurinn" ?? This is an actual word. Historians have proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak unintelligibly. The actual meaning of the word "Barbarian" is someone who speaks unintelligibly. The description of the people of the North, whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see ample pictures), perfectly fits the Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian and other Barbarians in the near by lands:
The early Muslims believed that Dhil Qarnayn reached the people of the farthest norths of the earth. The following is a map of Al-Sharif Al-Idrisi in year 1154 giving the geographic location of where Dhil Qarnayn went according to the understanding of the early Muslims of Noble Verses 18:83-100:
Dhil-Qarnayn literally means "man of two horns"
Dhil = One who has. قرنين Qarnayn = two horns. Qarnayn is a dual plural of Qarn (horn). Three or more horns is Quroon, in Arabic.
Noble Verses
53:18 and 18:91
are also prophetically linked together;
that Prophet Muhammad also saw what Dhil-Qarnayn ذي القرنين
saw. Also visit:

Again, Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, saw the aurora lights covering the horizons of space above the earth when he was taken up to Heaven:

Of the Signs of his Lord, The Greatest!” (Quran 53.18) That the Prophet had seen a green carpet spread all over the horizon of the sky قَالَ رَأَى رَفْرَفًا أَخْضَرَ سَدَّ أُفُقَ السَّمَاء."(Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 456)

The Glorious Quran also speaks about
many earths
[5]
and not just earth.
- The Glorious Quran
predicts 11 planets in our
solar system [6].
In the end, Allah Almighty uses the Glorious Quran to "...Thus doth God leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth..." (74:31). The infidels misuse the Glorious Quran to find "scientific errors". The Glorious Quran is Allah Almighty's Perfect Divine Holy Book. It contains no scientific error. Visit the following example and the link to see 1000s of Numerical and Scientific Miracles:
1- The root for message and all of its derivatives, such as messenger and others occurs 513 times throughout the Glorious Quran. The Prophets' and Messengers', peace be upon them, actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all combined mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran. The detailed breakdown of all of this is thoroughly listed here.
Coincidence? See 1,000s of examples! [1]. (zip file).
Did Prophet Muhammad know think
that the earth was spherical or flat?
Answer:
In this Hadith, above, he certainly seems to have
known this fact very well. And this Hadith is even older than Sahih
Bukhari. It is important to know that Imam Bukhari and others have
declared that they have discarded
thousands of Hadiths:
"The
twosahihcollections
did not gather the totality of the authenticahadithas
proved by al-Bukhari's
testimony: "I
have not included in my bookal-Jami`but
what is authentic, and
I left out among the authentic for
fear of [excessive] length."
"...
Bukhari, collected twenty thousand of them, of which he
rejected ten thousand,
accounting them untrue.Of
the remaining ten thousand he accepted only 7,275, declaring the
rest to be untrustworthy.
Abu Da'ud accepted as authentic only 4,800 rules out 50,000."
This is to keep their volumes as simple and manageable as possible.
So it is quite possible that the Prophet spoke about the earth being
spherical, and the Glorious Quran certainly did, and people
just dismissed them as nonsense.
I have covered your question in great details at:
Also, ample proofs for several of
the Glorious Quran's Arabic words' definitions, from my Arabic-English and English-Arabic
dictionaries, that prove that the earth is indeed spherical,
rotating around its axle, and is suspended in space, are provided in
the following important link:
Now, in Noble
Verses 79:30-32, Allah Almighty Says:
And the earth after that He has spherically expanded
Brought forth from it its water and pasture
and theMOUNTAINS
HE SET FIRMLY.
Indeed, scientists have proven that:
1-
The earth has spherically expanded.
2-
The earth produced its water and pasture on a large scale as a
result.I
have posted a Scientific Video from History Channel proving this:
3-
The mountains due to this expansion were formed;due
to the plate tectonics movements,
which caused for land to be pushed on top of each other, which
formed mountains and hills. You can learn about this at:
NASA Research Offers Explanation
for
Earth's Bulging Waistline
Comparison showing changes in shape of Earth
November 06, 2002
A team of researchers from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
Pasadena, Calif., and the Royal Observatory of Belgium has
apparently solved a recently observed mystery regarding changes
to the physical shape of Earth and its gravity field. The
answer, they found, appears to lie in the melting of sub-polar
glaciers and mass shifts in the Southern, Pacific and Indian
Oceans associated with global-scale climate changes.
The team of researchers sought to find a climatic reason for the
dramatic changes in Earth's gravity field observed since 1997.
These changes have resulted from large redistributions of mass
around the globe
and are characterized by an increased bulge in Earth's equator
and mass movement away from the poles - an occurrence known as
oblateness, which can be thought of as the
difference between a football and a soccer ball; the football
has a larger radius at the equator. Their results are published
in the December 6 issue of Science.
The paper, "Recent Earth Oblateness Variations: Unraveling
Climate and Postglacial Rebound Effects," by JPL scientists Drs.
Jean Dickey, Steven L. Marcus, and Ichiro Fukumori, and Dr.
Olivier de Viron from the Royal Observatory of Belgium, builds
upon previous research conducted by Drs. Christopher Cox and
Benjamin Chao of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt,
Md.
"During the last ice age, glaciers covered much of the land,
reaching down far into the United States, deforming the solid
Earth," Dickey said. "As the ice age ended, the ice sheets
gradually were reduced, leaving remnant glaciers. The Earth is
inelastic and responds to changes by slowly recovering on time
scales of tens of thousands of years, resulting in a
redistribution of mass toward the higher latitudes, effectively
making the Earth more spherical. This phenomenon, called
post-glacial rebound, still continues today, due to the slow
response of the Earth's mantle."
In 1998, however,
satellite data began to show an increase in the oblateness of
Earth's gravity field. To find the
catalyst for these changes, Dickey and her colleagues looked to
the oceans, where strong El Niño and Southern Oscillation events
and a shift in a climate cycle called the Pacific Decadal
Oscillation had begun to occur in 1997. Sea-surface height
measurements from NASA's Topex/Poseidon oceanography satellite
combined with ocean circulation models showed a movement of
water from the Southern Pacific Ocean to tropical regions in the
Pacific and Indian Oceans.
The researchers also studied sub-polar and mountain glaciers,
using information from the National Snow and Ice Data Center, to
determine their effect on gravity changes over a period of 37
years. The record shows substantial glacier melting from the
1960s to the 1980s, accelerating in the late 1990s. From 1980 to
1989, the average melting rate was approximately 100 cubic
kilometers (26.4 trillion gallons) per year. However, by 1997
and 1998 the yearly rate had increased dramatically to 320 cubic
kilometers (85 trillion gallons) and 540 cubic kilometers (143
trillion gallons), respectively. This melting, in combination
with changes in the ocean, was found to account for the observed
Earth gravity field changes.
"The rapid surge in glacial melting and changes in oceanic mass
distribution in 1997-98 coincided with an intense El Niño, and
with the highest global mean surface air temperatures on record.
The world is certainly changing in a major way," Dickey said.
"The links between these relatively rapid mass shifts and
concurrent climate anomalies, however, remain to be
established."
To continue the important work of monitoring Earth's gravity
field, NASA and the German Aerospace Center launched the Gravity
Recovery and Climate Experiment (Grace) in March of 2002. Grace
is measuring Earth's gravity field with unprecedented accuracy.
The mission will be able to help scientists track water movement
on and beneath Earth's surface; track changes in ice sheets and
in global sea level; study surface and deep ocean currents; and
study changes in the solid Earth.
The California Institute of Technology in Pasadena manages JPL
for NASA.
Article #3:
The early Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name, and sons and daughters of GOD titles will be "no more"; ; Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40) Muslims believed that the earth was spherical:
Around 830 AD, Caliph
al-Ma'mun commissioned a group of astronomers to measure the
distance from Tadmur (Palmyra)
to
al-Raqqah, in modern Syria. They found the cities to be
separated by one degree of latitude and the distance between them to
be 66⅔ Arabic miles (131 km) and thus calculated the Earth's
circumference to be 24000 Arabic miles (47,000 km), a value which differs from
modern estimates by about 18.6%.[47][48]
Another estimate given by al-Ma'mun's astronomers was 56⅔ Arabic
miles per degree, which corresponds to 112 kilometres (70 mi) per
degree and a circumference of 40,300 km (25,000 mi), very close to
the currently modern values of 111.3 km (69.2 mi) per degree and
40,068 km (24,897 mi) circumference, respectively.[49]
Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī (973-1048) solved a complex
geodesic equation in order to accurately compute the Earth's
circumference, which was close to modern values of the Earth's
circumference.[50][51]His estimate of 6,339.9 kilometres
(3,939.4 mi) for the Earth radius
was only 16.8 km (10.4 mi) less than the modern value of 6,356.7 km
(3,949.9 mi). In contrast to his predecessors who measured
the Earth's circumference by sighting the Sun simultaneously from
two different locations, al-Biruni developed a new method of using
trigonometric calculations based on the angle between a
plain
and
mountain top which yielded more accurate measurements of the
Earth's circumference and made it possible for it to be measured by
a single person from a single location.[52]
"Important contributions to
geodesy and
geography were also made by Biruni. He introduced
techniques to measure the earth and distances on it using
triangulation. He found the
radius of the earth to be 6,339.6 kilometres
(3,939.2 mi), a value not obtained in the West until the
16th century. His Masudic canon contains a table
giving the coordinates of six hundred places, almost all of
which he had direct knowledge."[53]
Planetary model by Persian astronomer
Qutb al-Din al-Shirazi(1236-1311) which shows
planets as round bodies
Many Muslim scholars declared a mutual agreement (Ijma)
that celestial bodies are round, among them
Ibn
Hazm (d. 1069),
Ibn al-Jawzi (d. 1200), and
Ibn Taymiya (d. 1328).[54]
Ibn Taymiya said,
"Celestial bodies are
round—as it is the statement of astronomers and mathematicians—it is
likewise the statement of the scholars of Islam".
Qutb al-Din al-Shirazi (d.1311) drew a planetary model which
depicted the celestial bodies in an epicyclic model. Abul-Hasan ibn
al-Manaadi,
Abu
Muhammad Ibn Hazm, and
Abul-Faraj Ibn Al-Jawzi have said that the Muslim scholars are
in agreement that all celestial bodies are round. Ibn Taymiyah also
remarked that Allah has said, "And He (Allah) it is Who created the
night and the day, the sun and the moon. They float, each in a Falak."
Ibn Abbas says, "A Falaka like that of a spinning wheel." The
word 'Falak' (in the
Arabic language) means "that which is round."[54][55]
The Muslim scholars
who held to the round earth theory used it in an impeccably Islamic
manner, to calculate the distance and direction from
any given point on the earth to
Makkah
(Mecca). This determined the
Qibla,
or Muslim direction of prayer. Muslim mathematicians developed
spherical trigonometry which was used in these calculations.[56]
Ibn Khaldun (d. 1406), in his
Muqaddimah, also
identified the world as spherical. The later belief
of Muslim scholars, like
Suyuti (d. 1505), that the earth is flat represents a deviation
from this earlier opinion.[54]
3-
What other word could possibly sum all of these events up?
Noble Word sutihat (سطحت)
is indeed the perfect word that describes all of the following events that
happened to earth:
1- Experienced a big splat and was formed to
accommodate life after the event and because of the event.
2- Was pressed and bulged, as the bulge in the
Scientific proofs above demonstrates.
3- Was expanded because of the event that made it سطحت.
Sutihat (سطحت)
perfectly means and encompasses all of these events. No Arabic-speaking
person can dispute this. Allah Almighty's mentioning of Him
sending iron from
space to earth also further proves that these interpretations are
absolutely valid and 100% accurate.
4-
Conclusion:
Again, the Noble Quran is filled with scientific statements and notions. These
are statements of Allah Almighty describing how He created things on earth
and in the Universe. What's most amazing is that all of these scientific
statements and notions had been proven to be in
perfect
agreement with science and our modern-day scientific
discoveries. Allah Almighty made the Noble Quran be Prophet Muhammad's
(peace be upon him) Everlasting Divine Miracle and proof for Prophethood.
The Holy Book certainly stood the test of time 1,500 years ago with Its
Claims, Prophecies and Miraculous language eloquence, and it does again and
again in our day today with Its overwhelming agreement with science and
discoveries that were not known to man 1,500 years ago.
Allah Almighty Said: "We will
soon show them Our signs in the Universe
and inside their selves, until it will become quite
clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your
Lord that He is a witness over all things?
(The Noble Quran, 41:53)"
While Noble Verse 88:20, by itself, doesn't seem to present a stunning
Scientific Miracle as the other Noble Verses did about the shape and function of
the planet earth in space, along with the other
ample stunning
Noble Verses that speak scientifically and miraculously about
astronomy, geology, biology, physiology, embryology, zoology, plants, medicine
and ample other fields of science, but when reading the
Noble Verse (88:20) in light of the
many other
Noble Verses that I mentioned in the
linked articles above in this article,
and also in light of the Scientific proofs of the Giant Impact and Big Splat
that earth experienced in the past to enable it to accommodate the life that we
know of and are enjoying, then
we clearly see that:
1- Allah Almighty's Mercy upon us is infinitely
Great for making the planet earth very comfortable for us, humans.
2- The Glorious Quran is in perfect harmony with
Science when Allah Almighty Said that "He formed the
earth after a Splat, and He pressed it and expanded it" all in one
Noble Miraculous Word.
Again, Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, said:
Narrated Abu Huraira: "I heard Allah's Apostle saying,
"I have been sent with Jawami al-Kalim (i.e., the shortest expression
carrying the widest meanings), and I was made victorious with awe (caste
into the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the
treasures of the earth were brought to me and were put in my hand." Muhammad
said, Jawami'-al-Kalim means that Allah expresses in one or two statements or
thereabouts the numerous matters that used to be written in the books revealed
before (the coming of) the Prophet.
(Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Interpretation of Dreams, Volume 9, Book 87,
Number 141)"
Indeed, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty alone for making the
Noble Quran be the Perfect and Everlasting Miracle, for us humans, out of
all of His Divine Miracles! And may Allah Almighty send His Peace, Mercy
and Blessings upon our Beloved and Blessed Prophet, Teacher and Role Model,
Muhammad. Ameen.
As I showed in the many
definitions, if something gets SUTIH, it means it got
pressed. A man who is MASTOOH is someone who is very bloated
after eating too much food that he feels he's about to blow up. A
nose that is MASTOOH, is a nose that is pressed in. An earth that
is MASTOOHA or has been SUTIHAT, means that it's been
pressed.
Also, scientists today have confirmed that the earth has gone
through "The
Big Splat", where a
planet size body of mostly-iron had slammed into earth and formed
its iron core. So the earth was SUTIHAT there by having that
whole body of planet slamming itself right through it. And did not
Allah Almighty Himself Say that He sent down iron:
"We sent aforetime Our
messengers with clear signs and sent down them the Book and the
Balance (of right and wrong), that men may stand forth in justice;
and We sent down iron,
in which is (material for) Mighty war, as well as many benefits for
mankind, that Allah may test who it is that will help, unseen, Him
and His messengers: For Allah is Full of strength, exalted in Might
(And able to enforce His Will).
(The Noble Quran,
57:25)"
Why Iron??
Out of all of the metals that Allah Almighty created and were known
to man 1400 years ago, Allah Almighty chose to speak about IRON
BEING SENT DOWN FROM SPACE TO EARTH, which had been scientifically
confirmed. Please visit:
Also the earth is bulged at the equator due to its high speed
rotation. This has caused for the equator to get pressed and bulge
out. The earth here is also SUTIHAT.
Sutihat is referring to a
colossal event!
Another point worth mentioning is that when we look at the context
of the Noble Verses, we see Allah Almighty bringing our attentions
to investigate and research certain main things. Let's look at the
Noble Verses:
88:17 افلا ينظرون الى الابل كيف خلقت
88:18 والى السماء كيف رفعت
88:19 والى الجبال كيف نصبت
88:20 والى الارض كيف سطحت
[088:017] Do
they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- [088:018] And
at the Sky, how it is raised high?- [088:019] And
at the Mountains, how they are fixed firm?- [088:020] And
at the Earth, how it is spread outSUTIHAT (سطحت,
formed after a splat, is pressed and expanded)?
Notice how Allah Almighty is Commanding us to look into:
1- The complex creation of the camel (the ship of the desert).
2- The Heavens above us.
3- The mountains on earth and how they were formed.
4- The earth and how it was SUTIHAT.
The context clearly suggests looking at events such as the
"The
Big Splat"",
and the bulging of the earth at the equator events. Again, visit:
Again, Sutihat means being
pressed and bulged, and also being flattened. In the link above, I
gave an example from the dictionary that say:
أنف
مسطح: منبسط جداً
A
musattah nose is a
very flat and slapped nose.
If a Nose is Musattah or Mastooh or Sutiha, it means that it is
pressed and flattened. This means that it would
bulge from the sides.
Sutihat doesn't mean something became
flat sheet of paper.
An object that SUTIHA
becomes pressed and bulged. And the earth is such an object.

Question:
Thank you for the help guys. What about the second part regarding
judgement day ?
As in will we be resurrected on earth ? If so then :
A) Doesn't our bones disintegrate ?
B) why would we be resurrected only to die again since earth will go
crazy and insane.
OR will we be resurrected and judged in Jannah with Allah ?
Answer:
As'salamu Alaikum,
Great question! After the Cosmic Crunch (also known as Big Crunch),
where the Universe will roll back like
the rolling back of scrolls, Allah Almighty will
RE-CREATE the Universe with a SECOND EARTH that we will resurrect
from. This is all in the Glorious Quran, and the Cosmic Crunch and
the rolling of the Universe is also confirmed by Science. Please
visit:
In the third link above, in the article that I wrote, there is a
MIGHTY REFERENCE that clearly and indisputably proves that EARTH is
both plural and singular and not just singular:
[039:067]No just estimate have
they made of God, such as is due to Him: On the Day of Judgment
the whole of the earthALL OF THE EARTHS
والارض جميعا will be but His handful, and the
heavens will be rolled upوالسماوات
مطويات in His right hand: Glory to Him! High is He
above the Partners they attribute to Him!
39:67 وما قدروا الله حق قدره والارض جميعا قبضته يوم القيامة
والسماوات مطويات بيمينه سبحانه وتعالى عما يشركون
I never detected this even though I wrote the article and read the
Noble Verse. Shame on me!! Notice the following points:
1- We know that Allah Almighty created
7 HEAVENS and of the
EARTH similar to them. That's in the Quran, and can
be found here:
2- Yet, notice here Allah Almighty talked about ALL OF THE HEAVENS
will be all Rolled up: والسماوات مطويات.
3- And all of the EARTHS will also be rolled up: والارض جميعا.
4- Yet, Allah Almighty spoke about
MANY EARTHS THROUGHOUT THE 7 HEAVENS, and
here He referred to all of them as EARTH الارض.
5- I've always said that الارض in the Glorious
Quran is both singular and plural. This Noble Verse here definitely
supports my claim 100%.
6- والارض
جميعا(all of
the earths) is speaking about
all of the earths in the seven Heavens. Yet, Allah Almighty used
the same Word, الارض , which is also used in the
singular.
7- Furthermore, Allah Almighty Said:
"And among His Signs is
the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the living creatures
that He has scattered through themومابث فيهما من
دابة: and He has power to gather them together when
He wills. (The Noble
Quran, 42:29)"
42:29 ومن اياته خلق السماوات والارض ومابث فيهما من دابة وهو على
جمعهم اذا يشاء قدير
Indeed, Allah Almighty scattered through all of the EARTHS in the
Universe living creatures. All Praise and Thanks and Glory are due
to Allah Almighty Alone, and no one else.
Take care,
Osama Abdallah
Question:
Again a great thanks to you all. I'd be so lost and miserable if it
weren't for this website.
Guys have any of you seen the video of Z. Al naggar saying the quran
says the earth came before the heavens ? Isn't that a major error ?
Answer:
He never said that akhi. Take
a listen here from minute 01:20:
I just updated my post above
and added the minute position that you should hear, because he
directly answer this very question. He said that earth and the
universe are the same age, but rocks go through cycles, and our
current earth is only 4.6 billion years old(he said that in minute
02:05). But earth started exactly with the Universe, and
they both have the same age, roughly around
10 billions years old.
He said that. I think you have it mixed up.
Also, scientists believe that our Universe is between 10 to 16
billion years old, around 13.8 billion years old:
"The age of universe
can be determined by imaging what the universe looked like in the
past, “rewinding” the expansion. In the past the galaxies must have
been closer together, and in the distant past they would have been
packed together in a tiny point. If we assume that the expansion
rate is constant over time, the age for the universe as a whole is
about 10 billion years.
However, astronomers have been working over the last 20 years to
determine how the expansion rate changes with time. We now know that
early in the universe the expansion was slowing down, but now it is
speeding up. Using careful measurements of this change in expansion
rate, the age of the universe is now known quite precisely to be
13.77±.059 billion years.
9"
[9]- See NASA official Dr. Edward J. Wollack, "How Old is the
Universe" NASA (2012) for for the latest values and more information
on how this calculation is made. (http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/universe/uni_age.html)
"If the Universe had
the same current properties today but were made of 100% normal
matter and no dark matter or dark energy, our Universe would be only
10 billion years
old. If the Universe were 5% normal matter (with no dark matter or
dark energy) and the Hubble constant were 50 km/s/Mpc instead of 70
km/s/Mpc, our Universe would be a whopping
16 billion years old.
With the combinations of things we have today, however, we can
confidently state 13.81 billion
years is the age of the Universe, with a very small uncertainty.
It’s an incredible feat of science."

The
sunsetless
North Pole Miracle in
the Glorious Quran [1].
Allah Almighty
in the Glorious Quran said that earth is:
- Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1]. - Is rotating around itself. - Is moving in space in
curvy orbits [2]. - Is in constant motion. - Is suspended in space. - Is
swimming in space. - Is traveling through the constantly
expanding universe [3].
- The
sunsetless
North Pole miracle in the Glorious Quran
[4].
At the top of
the North Pole, the sun never sets[4], and I
showed the video for that, and also quoted the
scientific sources for that. Also in the lands
near by, it almost never sets either, and I
quoted sources for that as well, and also showed
pictures of the "polar
night" skies on these lands that are near the sunsetless North Pole.
They also spoke almost unintelligibly (18:93), the Glorious Quran says. They hardly spoke intelligibly (18:93). Historians have proven that the Barbarians of the North used to speak unintelligibly. The actual meaning of the word "Barbarian" is someone who speaks unintelligibly.
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, saw the
aurora lights covering the
horizons of space above the earth when he
was taken up to Heaven:
Narrated
Abdullah: "Regarding
the Verse: “Indeed he (Muhammad)
did see. Of
the Signs of his Lord, The Greatest!”
(Quran 53.18)
That the Prophet had seen a green
carpet spread all over the
horizon of the sky قَالَ رَأَى رَفْرَفًا أَخْضَرَ سَدَّ أُفُقَ السَّمَاء."
(Translation of Sahih
Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 456)
Regarding Dhil-Qarnayn (literally means "man of two horns"), Allah Almighty said
this about his journey to the farthest
northern lands and people:
18:90 حتى اذا بلغ مطلع الشمس وجدها تطلع على
قوم لم نجعل لهم من دونها ستر
"Until he reached near
حتى اذا بلغ
where the sun is up
مطلع

The actual meaning of the word "Barbarian" is someone who speaks unintelligibly. The description of the people of the North, whose North Pole is truly sunsetless (see ample pictures), perfectly fits the Barbarians of the Vikings in the Scandinavian and other Barbarians in the near by lands:
The early Muslims believed that Dhil Qarnayn reached the people of the farthest norths of the earth. The following is a map of Al-Sharif Al-Idrisi in year 1154 giving the geographic location of where Dhil Qarnayn went according to the understanding of the early Muslims of Noble Verses 18:83-100:
Dhil-Qarnayn literally means "man of two horns"
Dhil = One who has. قرنين Qarnayn = two horns. Qarnayn is a dual plural of Qarn (horn). Three or more horns is Quroon, in Arabic.

This is
the short version of the long article below.
Allah Almighty said this about the moon's
S-shaped orbit around the earth:
36:39والقمر قدرناه منازل حتى
عادكالعرجون
القديم
"And
We have decreed set phases for the moon, until it ends upعادlooking like an old date
branch
كالعرجون
القديم. It is not for the sun to overtake the moon
nor for the night to outstrip the day; each one is swimming in a sphere.
(Qur'an, 36:39-40)"
This is not the only time Allah Almighty used a notion
for astronomy. In another Noble Verse, He described the shape
of the earth's orbit around the sun
as egg-shaped which had also been confirmed by science.
[079:031] From
it, He produced its
own water and pasture.
Below in this article, we'll see the ample proofs that the earth was
indeed SPREAD OUT SPHERICALLY.
And Scientists have proven that water does indeed originate from its
planets when they're hot enough and are located in the Goldilocks
Zone when orbiting their sun.
As thoroughly detailed in
this detailed article,
I thoroughly demonstrated using 7 encyclopedic dictionaries that
DAHA دحاها
means:
1- To push.
2- To throw.
دحا (daha): دفعه و رمى به (dafa'aahu wa ramaa bih)
Caused it to move, pushed it, or threw it.
دحا الصبي المِدحاةَ أي دفع الصبي المِدحاةَ Daha the
boy the rolling toy, means the boy pushed the rolling toy.
3- To make
something roll,
as inDAHA
the barrel from the top of the hill,
which means he rolled it down from the top of the hill. Also, this
is where the Arabic word DAHRAJA is derived from, which means to
make something roll down.
4- To make
something round.
I used several examples forROUND
AND BULGED TUMMY,
and making round objects. I even used a Hadith from Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, when he said:
In Prophet Muhammad's Hadith: كان لأسامة بطننٌ مُندحٌ
اي متسع Osama had a round and big tummy.
Also the dictionary says:
الدحداح هو المستدير الململم The dahdaah is the
person who is ROUND and STOCKY.
و بطنٌ مُنداحُ أي خارخٌ مُدوّر His tummy is
mun-daahun means it is OUT THERE AND ROUND مُدوّر.
So when Allah Almighty DAHA THE EARTH, it means that
Allah AlmightyEXPANDED
IT SPHERICALLYthrough
rotating around itself and moving in its orbit in space. And this
is why Allah Almighty Said after that (after He DAHAHA), He brought
forth from itits
water and pasture.
Science has proven this to be 100% accurate and True:
1-
Water was brought forth from the earth - Science confirmed it and
the Holy Quran claimed it 1400 years ago:
Note:
In Article #3'S video in
the article, the collision of the iron-planet made our earth
EGG-SHAPED, according to the Scientists and the
video.
عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما ان
رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سئل :هذه المغارب اين تغرب ؟ وهذه
المطالع اين تطلع ؟ فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم هي على رسلها لا تبرح ولا
تزول , تغرب عن قوم وتطلع على قوم ,وتغرب عن قوم وتطلع , فقوم يقولون
غربت ,وقوم يقولون طلعت
"Ibn Abbas
narrated on Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, that the Prophet
was asked: Where does the sun go after all of these sunsets? And
where does it come from after all of these sunrises? The Prophet,
peace be upon him, replied: It is in constant motion. It
doesn't stop nor disappear. It sets on people and
rises on others, and it sets on people and rises on others (See also Isaiah 1:9-17: Yahweh called Israel Sodom, because it spreads evil and is unjust). So
people would say it has risen while others say it has set."

Did Prophet Muhammad know think
that the earth was spherical or flat?
Answer:
In this Hadith, above, he certainly seems to have
known this fact very well. And this Hadith is even older than Sahih
Bukhari. It is important to know that Imam Bukhari and others have
declared that they have discarded
thousands of Hadiths:
"The
twosahihcollections
did not gather the totality of the authenticahadithas
proved by al-Bukhari's
testimony: "I
have not included in my bookal-Jami`but
what is authentic, and
I left out among the authentic for
fear of [excessive] length."
"...
Bukhari, collected twenty thousand of them, of which he
rejected ten thousand,
accounting them untrue.Of
the remaining ten thousand he accepted only 7,275, declaring the
rest to be untrustworthy.
Abu Da'ud accepted as authentic only 4,800 rules out 50,000."
This is to keep their volumes as simple and manageable as possible.
So it is quite possible that the Prophet spoke about the earth being
spherical, and the Glorious Quran certainly did, and people
just dismissed them as nonsense.
I have covered your question in great details at:
Also, ample proofs for several of
the Glorious Quran's Arabic words' definitions, from my Arabic-English and English-Arabic
dictionaries, that prove that the earth is indeed spherical,
rotating around its axle, and is suspended in space, are provided in
the following important link:
Now, in Noble
Verses 79:30-32, Allah Almighty Says:
And the earth after that He has spherically expanded
Brought forth from it its water and pasture
and theMOUNTAINS
HE SET FIRMLY.
Indeed, scientists have proven that:
1-
The earth has spherically expanded.
2-
The earth produced its water and pasture on a large scale as a
result.I
have posted a Scientific Video from History Channel proving this:
3-
The mountains due to this expansion were formed;due
to the plate tectonics movements,
which caused for land to be pushed on top of each other, which
formed mountains and hills. You can learn about this at:
Allah Almighty also promised in several Divine Prophecies that He will show the Glorious Quran's Miracles to mankind. For example:
1- The root letters for "message" and all of its derivatives occur 513times throughout the Glorious Quran. Yet, the Prophets' and Messengers' actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran. See detailed listing here.
Coincidence? See 1,000s of examples! [1]. (zip file).
2- Allah Almighty said that Prophet Noah lived for
950 years. Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah (chapter Noah) is exactly written in 950 Letters. You can thoroughly see the accurate count in the scanned images.
3- Allah Almighty in the Glorious Quran said that earth is: - Spherical: "egg-shaped" [1]. - Is rotating around itself. - Is moving in space in curvy orbits [2]. - Is traveling through the constantly expanding universe [3].
"When the sky disintegrates, and turns rose colored like paint (وردة كالدهان)." (The Noble Quran, 55:37) [2] [3]
As we also see from the picture, Noble Verse 55:37 is a Divine Promise (Allah promised to show mankind) that mankind will actually see this come to pass one day. NASA and other space agencies, by Allah Almighty's Will, have certainly fulfilled this Prophecy, because a natural rose wouldn't form when a "Heaven" or a Solar System or even an entire galaxy and its trillions of solar systems all blow up (explode). It is rather the look of it, and this is exactly what NASA confirms.
Quran: All Bibles are mostly of corrupt [1]قول (Quran 10:94 and 10s others discussed). See also the 39+ members of trinity. Jesus called every believer a Muslim in Luke 6:40.
"I cannot do anything on my own." (i.e., Jesus could not perform a single Miracle without GOD sending it down to him first!). I can not perform a single Miracle on my own!! I am totally POWERLESS without Allah Almighty!
John 5:31 "if I (Jesus) bear witness of myself, then I would be a liar!"
GOD didn't talk this way when He spoke to Moses. GOD's testimony alone is always sufficient! Jesus also bowed his face down to the ground, like we Muslims (Isaiah 56:5: Muslim is the future believers' name, and sons and daughters of GOD titles will be "no more"; ; Jesus called every believer a Muslim in
Luke 6:40) Muslims do everyday, and prayed to GOD Almighty.
