Question

Qur’an says that Allah has made the earth for you as a carpet. This gives an indication that the earth is flat. Does this not contradict established modern science?

There are no miracles in Quran, and thus no sign that men or man could not have created this book.
b) Instead, Quran has wrong science in it, and wrong moral ideas.
c) If Quran was truely from God, it would contain knowledge that we are not aware of yet. You think Quran has science? Read about the pre-Islamic scientific World and the wonderful scientists who were born before Islam came. If Quran wanted to convey science, why did it not convey all the science we know of? Instead, it conveyed either common sense, OR ideas stolen from Greek scientists. There is every reason I can give to tell you how Mohammed stole from Greeks. Remember, you do not have to be educated to hear a scientists knowledge from far-away lands, and lie to people around you to claim the scientific knowledge as "revealed" from God!
Thus the claim that Mohammed was not educated and could not have known all this, is FALSE!

d) A real God would not allow his important message to be taken in a wrong way:
Quran is supposed to be an important message for humanity, rioght. If Quran was an important message to humanity from a real God, its Creator would have made SURE that the message would not be taken in a wrong way. The day is coming when more and more people are hating Islam. Assuming that Quran was from God, it is unfortunate to be born in such an era, where this important message of God is being hated so much.
Would the real creator (if he exists) allow any of His dear creation to be born in a place where His message was being hated so much, and thus not receive the message in the correct context? Ofcourse not.
The message of a Real God to his creation, would be very important and there would be NO one who would be able to tarnish the clean image of his message.
We have sane people finding faults with Quran and talking about using it as toilet paper. Would a real God allow this to happen to his messag

Answer 1

Simple answer : Islam is fake.

Answer 2

I haven't personally seen that Quran verse, just because it says carpet, you think it is saying the world is flat? Whatever.

Guess ya never seen this verse?

And more, He has extended the earth (far and wide also in the shape of an egg) 79:30

Answer 3

The Quran describes the earth's surface as a carpet.
The Quran also says: “And we have made the earth egg shaped”. [Al-Quran 79:30]

Answer 4

Some interpret that verse as an indication that the Earth is flat, the others say that it refers that Earth is there for us to walk on.

I wonder how they interpret this verse:

"Lord of the two Easts, and Lord of the two Wests! Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny?" (55:17-18)


Two Easts? Two Wests?

~shakes head~

Answer 5

Muslims will ignore you as usual, unable to accept inconsistant facts in the imperfect Qu'ran.

“Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse “And the mountains as pegs?” [Al-Quran 78:6-7]

“He Who has made for you the earth like a carpet spread out; has enabled you to go about therein by roads (and channels)....” [Al-Quran 20:53]

Answer 6

It means that the earth is made of carpet.
Honestly, doesn't it make as much sense to conclude that the passage is saying the earth is literally made of carpet?

Answer 7

No. It doesn't mean the earth is flat. Flat in the Qur'an is a synonym for Stable.

Answer 8

This does not give ANY indication of the shape of earth. You're reaching.

Answer 9

Since when did Muslims care about that?
