The earth is flat? haha
It's on the back of a whale? Really?


Tafsir al-Jalalayn/ commentary
and after that He spread out the earth: He made it flat, for it had been created before the heaven, but without having been spread out;

Surah 79:30
YUSUFALI: And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse);
PICKTHAL: And after that He spread the earth,
SHAKIR: And the earth, He expanded it after that.

Q. 88:20 - earth flattened out? (made flat?)

Q. 91:5-6 - earth was extended (spread out/ laid out flat)

Q. 2:22 - earth is a bed with the heavens as a roof /Tafsir Ibn Kathir says "AS FLAT and comfortable as a bed "
Q. 20:53 - "[since he is the One] Who has laid out the earth as a carpet for you" (do you lay out a carpet in a sphere? (Q. 43:10)


It is He who hath made the earth level for you: traverse then its broad sides, and eat of what He hath provided. - Unto Him shall be the resurrection." (Sura 67:15).

Allah swears by the Nun (nun - whale 68:1), which is the whale that carries the earths on its back while in Water, and beneath which is the Bull and under the Bull is the Rock and under the Rock is the Dust and none knows what is under the Dust save Allah. The name of the whale is Liwash

Ibn Abu Nujaih stated that Ibrahim Ibn Abu Bakir was informed by Mujahid who said, "It was said that Nun is the great whale WHO IS UNDERNEATH THE SEVEN EARTHS." Furthermore, Al-Baghawy – may Allah rest his soul - and a group of commentators stated that on the back of this whale there is a great rock whose thickness is greater than the width of the heavens and the earth and above this rock is A BULL THAT HAS FORTY THOUSAND HORNS. On the body of this bull are placed the seven earths and all that they contain, and Allah knows best

Is.40:22
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

muslims say hell breaths in during winter and out in summer. (yeah thats got to be it/ forget about the earths axis and orbit.)
