Time To Change Your Paradigm
-
I suppose you can search the information about those by yourself, Wakas, if you really interested to study this issue.
Perhaps you could join this forum http//ifers.boards.net/, and put your questions there.
Even as 'flat-earther', I myself also still have questions regarding this issue.
But, I'm not going to deny that the Qur'an informs me that the earth is flat. That lesson is there in the Qur'an. For me, quite many verses tell me about the heavens and the earth, perhaps that's why I'm interested about this issue.
Where does the Qur'an say that the whole planet of Earth is a flat disc? The land before us is clearly spread out, but even that isn't flat. If you're going to take it so literally, and believe "flat" was said, how is that true? There are mountains, and up and down constantly, none of it is flat or level, its all up and down constantly. Is it just totally random that this belief comes upon people? Is it because of the Qur'an that people end up going in this direction, while at the same time many followers of the Qur'an brag about it talking about a round "egg-shaped" Earth ahead of its time. If the Qur'an said "the land is flat" it would be a lie since it isn't flat but all sorts of levels and heights and depths.

If there are no satellites, where are owners of satellite TV equipment aiming their discs?
If one knows the technology they know the LNB receives microwaves from the satellite which are reflected by the disc and unto the LNB receptor area. If there are no satellites it means they magically receive satellite TV out of the blue.
And it is not possible to talk that away by saying it is deception because many people know the technology and how it works and I know it briefly myself. They are not receiving a signal from the Earth's surface because it is a logically impossibility because the reflector area is clearly facing the skies.

Hail freedomstands,
Trust me. If you had my interpretation and translation, and in your right mind, you would not look for another, after I finish it.
Right now it is a long way to go I have only finished a part of chapter 2 and chapter 36 and I have to edit the translation so it sounds more fluent because right now the word order is very Arabic thus literal and English does not feel very coherent to read that way.
Be well

All Flat-Earth believers So what do you think about Felix Baumgartner that jumped at a 128k feet? The planet obviously looks round https//youtu.be/7f-K-XnHi9I?t=1m15s

I really don't understand how people can still believe in the flat Earth myth. Even if NASA was lying about what it does other space agencies would be the first to report that. NASA isn't the only space agency that exists. The Russians have one too and so do probaly the Indians. And then you have the European space agency. The point is? Even if NASA was lying it would not be able to get away with it. I'm 100% sure that NASA is NOT lying about anything. Everything it says is TRUE. You can't lie about these things.

@FS, plz don't F. quote me while I'm still editing!
Further, What is this supposed to mean!?
Why would I rely on others' "translations" when I can read the original language myself!?
Because it appears that the concept of "spread out" seems to be prevalent and that it seems unnecessary to insist that the only possible meaning of that verse is that the Earth is a flat disc.
I didn't know you were editing, but how would I have even known you were editing? Does it say somewhere? I just saw the post and replied to it, the quote was automatic or whatever and I didn't remove it. Please let me know if there are some tips to know if you're editing or not once you have posted.

You could have just copypasted your link (beneath my post) ~ no need to quote/reduplicate (for no reason)!
That said, I am truly NOT interested in wasting my time confuting your fallacies. So, plz keep your distance. -

That said, I am truly NOT interested in wasting my time confuting your fallacies. So, plz keep your distance.I'm in Vancouver, is that far from where you are? Maybe not too far if the Earth is also fold-able.
Please do let me know though, with a loudspeaker if possible due to my great distance that I am to keep, what fallacies I might make in order that I might correct myself. It is your duty, isn't it, according to the Qur'an to help me out where possible? I do claim to be a fellow Muslim Hanif like you. I never said the Earth was round or the Earth was flat, I just pointed out that many people refer to the meaning of that verse as "spread out" whereas the Earth as it appears to us visually is not literally flat or level but does appear spread out and vast at least. As for a specific "flat" disc shape, I don't know, this is maybe some of the only times I've heard of such a thing and the Qur'an didn't seem to say anything so specific anyway, which is what I was trying to point out.

I can't see how anything spread out, stops being spread out if the surface at a big scale turns out to be curved. A hammock is curved but still it is spread out. And seen from a human point of view of human size scale anything one can manage in normal life if it has any curvature it is so wide that for all purposes, acept for thos exacting very minute precision flat.
And so that nobody should be offended, I am not making fun of anybody and would not in any case want to. We are all entitled to get at things the way we see most proper and differences are not harmful but arrogance is, and for sure this question gives rise to examine things more closely and attentively and not to take anything for granted because so and so says so or most people say so or whoever says so.
On the other hand, it would not be very surprising that NSA would be hiding something and others got along for their own reasons, if they are not altogether.

Brother, the video you linked was captured by fish eye lens. It was a GOPRO camera.Please google it to see its lens type.

Sorry bro but I really don't understand your point. The screenshots you posted proves that the Earth is indeed round. Looking at it from different angles will not change that fact. Watch the entire video- There are no cuts only the entire video running clearly showing how the planet is NOT flat. Cherry-picking, i.e. screenshoting some clips is honestly a bad id?a. Earth never changed shape in the second image. He is looking at it from a different angle.
I have noticed that some hate NASA. NASA has actually contributed more to Earth than teh religious. The technologies created and developed by NASA

What is the point in proving that the world is flat or round?
Focus on helping yourselves instead by doing good deeds and getting the animal you out of yourselves.
The world whether round or flat, or a disc, is just an illusion made of energy and part of a program for GOD to wait until the sprouts have fully grown to reap those of good quality and discard the rest. It is a sifting process, so show the better part of yourselves and enhance the spirit and get rid of some baggage that you can pass through "The Door", narrow as it can be. Only light - weight passengers are allowed to embark on the bus. The meshes of that sifter are very fine you know.

This is not so hard to understand. The fact is in front of your eyes. The round or spherical view that you are seeing highly depend on the lens.Brother,free your mind from preconceived idea and watch that video carefully. You will get the truth.Then what about NASA's fake moon landing drama? Do you really think that man stepped on moon as NASA stated?
Here is a non-NASA video clip.

8817-20This verse can also mean, that the earth is round, but again so flat like most of the people believe except for the one who don't. Which is indeed a miracle. Because imagine yourself walking on a sphere.
