In 1197 AH / 1782-3, Hadi Isfahani's feat has a large Iranian brass geography, geographical indication, personality, and astronomical symbols, in the form of a circular structure with the achievement of the round. Many people question the question that what is said by Ulema about the shape of the earth? The atheists of this country unilaterally mention only those commentators, who made a little mistake in their Ijtihad and called the world flat.
In fact, Allah has not said the goal of the earth directly in the Qur'an. Because, because our forefathers thought that the earth was flat, then suddenly, when the earth was called a sphere, our forefathers might have left the world after being deceived by Satan, and we could not have gained the good fortune of being born in peace. Therefore, Allah has taken some strategies from the Rabin al-Amin. He has explained by some indications that the earth sphere Many of the Qur'an cannot be understood before a suitable time. In particular, it is almost impossible to properly understand the verses of Resurrection right before the right time. Likewise, before the modern era, it was not possible to understand the signs of the Qur'an in the shape of the earth. In this post, we will mention the ulama's views on the sphere of the Earth. Many experts have mentioned Ijma on the sphere of the globe. For example, Abu Muhammad Ibn Hazm (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: "The demand for a statement of the earthly sphere:Abu Muhammad said, and this is when we take, God willing, to mention some of what they objected to, and that they said that the evidence has been correct that the earth is spherical, the public says otherwise, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "One of the imams of the Muslims who are entitled to the name of the imamate with knowledge, may Allah be pleased with them, did not deny the plot of the earth. "(2/78).Abu Muhammad ibn Hazm [Raha] 994 AD] said: The document for
the goal of the world is: Abu Muhammad said: We will discuss some documents against the goal of the world. There are clear documents for the goal of the world, but ordinary people say otherwise. Our answer is: Allah has the power to say the source of all power-the Imam and no respectable Muslim, who has been known, has not denied the fact that he is the goal of the world, and no description was found to deny them. Rather, it is narrated from the Qur'an and Sunnah that it is a goal ... and he makes a document for it.[Ibnu Hazm, al-Faisal Phil Milal Wall Ah-Wa Al Milal 2/78 'Earth is Rounded' paragraph ]The story of the goal of the earth is: Allah says,يكور الليل على النهار ويكور النهار على الليل) "He is who makes the night over the day and the night as an arbiter for the night" (Zumar 5). Ibn Hazm mentions the above verse as the document. Imam Abu Yala [Raha] said, "Earth's goal in Muslim consensus". [Tablak al-hablali]Potential Opponents: They said the goal, the sphere did not say.Answer: These are the words of the words. We also call the earth a ball in words, do not call spheres. They used to tell the sphere to round. The proof of this is-Ibn Hazm said elsewhere, "Earth's sphere is well-known ... the evidence is that the sun is on the vertex of the special place of the earth." [Al Fossil Fill Mille, 2nd volume, 98 p. ]
[Here the sun, moon, stars are called goals; The sphere is not called. That does not mean that they think the sun, the moon, the stars in two-dimensional]
Ibn Taymiyya said: Falak means goal [Majmu al-Fatwa, 6th volume, p. 566-567]
He said in [Majmu al-Fatwa, 6th volume, p. 565-566] that
Since the other side of the world is surrounded by water [even when America was not discovered, then there was no land between the Atlantic and the Pacific because the people thought then] and there is no man or anything like that. Even though we assume that there are people on the other side, in such cases, they are on the surface of the world. The people of the other side are not below the people of this section, but the people of this part are not below the other side people. Because every spherical object surrounds a point [crater] [It is understood that the sphere is trying to explain it to the common man] No side of the spherical object can be under the other side, thus the North Pole cannot be below the south pole. [When Muslims first painted the map of the world; That's what the North Pole was sticking up and down on the South Pole.]
From the above discussion, it means that he wants to say that the globe sphere And the sphere is visible from the earth, the visible stars, the moon, and the sun will be two-dimensional, it is irrational. Especially, when they are all dynamic and
The super heat-generating object is stupid to call the sun two-dimensional. Prima facie doubt whether the primitive people thought.
That is, the objects in the sky are like spheres. And the earth itself is the sphere, which means that the Ulama was the earth in the sky [in space].
They also agreed that the earth with all its movements from land and sea like the ball. He said: It indicates that the sun, the moon, and the planets do not have their rise and fall on all those in the earth at one time, but on the east before Maghrib. End quote from Majmoo 'al-Fataawa (25/195).
Shaykh al- Islam from Imam Ibn Taymiyyah [Rahim] [1328 AD] narrated from Abul Hussain Ibn al-Munadi [Raha] , when he said: Abul Hussain Ahmad bin Jafar Ibn al-Munadi [Raha] from the famous scholarly scholar for research and action concerning religion And from the companions of the second stage of Imam Ahmad, the ulama did not have any difference in the matter that the sky was like a ball. [It is one of the many opinions Musician.]
He said: Similarly, unanimously waters and sthalabhagasaha containing all the face of the earth in a ball [sphere] of the judgment. He said, it can be understood by this incident that the sun, moon, and stars do not sit in different parts of the earth at the same time; Rather the sun sets before the East in the East.
[Majmu al-Fataawa 25 \ 195]
Allah knows best.
Muslim scientist Al-Biruni measures the radius of the Earth, according to the then Caliph. Is it possible to measure the flat radius of the plane? In particular, using the following method, al-Biruni, would not have measured the radius of the flat earth.
Potential abuse
# Ibn Taymiyya was influenced by the Greeks.Answer: Sayed Abul Hassan Ali Nadvi [Raha] mentioned in his book 'Islamic Life System' that Ibn Taymiyya saved Tafseer from the influence of the Greek during his contemporary era. My point is that since Muslims remember Ibn Taymiyah alike, he has saved Islam from the influence of the Greeks, so how protecting itself is attacked by the enemy? Is it credible? The whole world will go against Islam, but Ibn Taymiyya alone will keep the flag of Islam flying. This is Ibn Taymiyah. There is no denying the lie, and the Greeks do not have any value for them. And what about Ibn Hazm and Abu Yala? They also affect the Greeks? What is the discontent!
Before Allama Jalal Uddin Suyuti [Raha], that means before 911 AH, nobody says that the earth is flat.
The proof that he opposed the Greeks was that Ibn Taymiyya [Raha] rejected the novel 'Al Risala al-Arshiyah' in the book, Nev-platonist philosophers who claim to have the goal of the ninth heaven in the reign of Allah. [Majmu al-Fatwa, 6th volume, p. 546]
