Dahaha does NOT mean ostrich egg in the Quran
-
Hi javalatte,
I appreciate your honesty, the post is only for those who claim the Quran discusses a spherical earth.
I don't appreciate your honesty though Nonmushrik. Why do you waste your time here trying to enlighten these people with Christianity and then Atheism? Can you justify your work here at all? "Bored" is a sufficient answer.

You claim intellectual honesty but your conclusion is nothing of the sort. Since this word is used only once in Quran it is not possible to conclude it can only mean one thing. Classical Arabic dictionaries provide several meanings.
From http//www.studyquran.co.uk/PRLonline.htm
You are obviously biased.
Shalom Aleikhem Wakas,
I am not entirely sure as to what you point is. I'm a bit confused. What do you think is a justifiable interpretation? Based on this verse alone, I cannot confirm or deny anything. All I can say for sure that if the author did know that the earth is like a globe, he/she didn't try to convey that message with this verse for sure.
Peace

7930 And the land/earth after that He - hurled, spread forth, expanded, stretched out, cast away, extended, drove along - it.

The earth is not a ball/globe!! The earth is not egg-shaped!! yay
I am a flat earther and also know that the Qur'an supports the flat earth!
Are you sure @javalatte, The Arabic word dahaha comes from root dahy, which means egg.
Ever go to the top of a sky scraper and observe the shape of earth's land?Therefore the translation should look like this
The land after that, He made it like an egg. -

Given the size of the planet earth, how would you see any significant curvature from that height? I am referring to sky scraper heights.
P.S. Not everyone is educated in basic mathematics. You can and people have estimated even the curvature of the earth with mathematics alone. Forget mathematics, you can deduce the curvature by observing distant objects. What we see is not consistent with a flat earth model. You can actually relay signals through satellites, which we do, and validate that the satellites are on either sides of earth. All the calculations that we do for gravitational forces for the planet are based on the spheroid planet model.

Alright! Let me then ask you this question What do YOU THINK the verse is referring to?
I am not asking you to assert that your opinions should become the official tafsil of that verse.

If you get high enough, you'll realize that the earth isn't flat but a little curvy, so yeah it isn't flat.
Try it sometimes or in any high landmark where you live

I don't think we have buildings tall enough for us to see a noticeable curvature of the Earth from.
I always found the "watching a ship from the sea shore" example the simplest but most convincing one. I mean, even if you use the most powerful telescope to watch the ship, you still see the ship disappearing from the bottom-up!
It's also a disgrace that we have such lunatics here using the technology we have today to tell us about how the principles behind the mathematics and physics that went to build this technology is wrong and their uneducated and ill-informed guesses are correct. I know I'll come across rude for saying this but for the love of God! How can people be this dumb! Sounds like the only observation they did was to just look around and be like "looks kinda flat to me! Must be flat".

Sorry @ kamen, I refuse to take wrong interpretation. However, I'm not in the mood to discuss about flat earth right now.
If you want to know the truth, I suggest you to implore to Allah to grant you the true knowledge, and be patient until the truth clearly understood by you.
Peace.

Yeah, right. I mean, when did we ever learn the truth from objective rational scientific inquiry, right? I mean, thousands of years worth of TESTABLE/VERIFIABLE knowledge in that field should just be just thrown away in the hope of God just telling you the answer.
Oh, another thing, you forgot to ask him to wear a tinfoil hat and plaster the walls of his room with pages of the Qur'an as he waits for the revelation.
Peace

Ever heard of a ship falling from the edge of the world on fox news? no? well then...i suggest watching a ship from the sea shore and wait for them to disappear like @studentofallah says...
And a little question for you
1.If Antarctica is just a ring circling the outside of the Earth, then what the hell is the south pole?
2.if the earth is flat, why I can see the sun right now and people in new zealand can't
3.What is underneath a Flat Earth?I'm interested in your answer @javalatte

The alleged curvature of the earth is supposed to be obvious at 60,000 ft high.
Yet, FLAT is how the earth looks like when 120,000 ft up in the sky !
Go back to sleep.
Your conclusion?

Majority lives in a bubble ?
So you think the earth is flat then? I guess science and the quran together is incompatible to you...
Ever heard of someone fall from the edge of the earth into a deep dark space or have you actually seen the edge of the earth yourself?Here's a reference for you

I know the earth ain't a spinning ball.
I guess science and the quran together is incompatible to you...
The Quran taught me to proceed by inquiry (zeteticism), instead of guessing.
~ Can you provide one single quranic passage in support of a spinning ball-earth ?
Ever heard of someone fall from the edge of the earth into a deep dark space or have you actually seen the edge of the earth yourself?
This supposed to be a valid argument (against the earth being flat) ?!

Please don't think shallow about the design of the earth and the sky.
Do you think humans could easily get out (or escape) from this amazing & magnificent "cage"?
I think the answer is NO because the mobility of humans is restricted (confined) inside the earth and the sky. The design of the earth and the sky is an irrefutable proof of the existence of the Creator.
But, as I told you, I'm not in the mood to discuss about flat earth right now.
I'm sorry, but currently, I have more important/serious thing in my mind which need to be handled.
Peace.
