But Qur’an is scientifically also speaking, that besides spreading out – today Science tells us that the earth’s crust – because when we layout a carpet, we normally spread out a carpet, on the surface which is not comfortable to walk on – Carpet is normally spread out on a surface which is not comfortable to walk on. For example imagine that there is big model of the earth, the globe, say about 10 feet in radius – Very big – Very well you can spread a carpet around it – It is possible. It is wrong – A carpet, can also be spread on a spherical surface. ![]() It gives a similitude that… ‘We have spread out the Earth like a carpet’. People normally have a misconception that… ‘A carpet can only be spread on a flat surface’. No where does the Qur’an say, that the earth is flat. The deeper layers are hot and fluid, and inhospitable for existence of life. As I mentioned in my talk – the Geologists, they tell us today, the earth which we live- on the surface is hardly one to 10 miles, and less than 1% of the total radius of the earth which is 3750 miles. ![]() But it gives the answer in the next verse, in verse number 20, ‘So that you may walk and travel in the spacious path’. ![]() 19 and 20, which does say… ‘that we have spread out the Earth like a carpet’. ![]() (Dr.Zakir): The question posed was – and people are astonished out here… that the Qur’an says the earth was like a carpet… spread out like a carpet – So does it mean, it was flat? What the person is referring- from the Ayat from the Holy Qur’an, in Surah Nur, Ch. ![]()
