3.8 Qur'an 26:28 - Lord of the east and the west and what is between them.3.7 Qur'an 17:37 - you will not tear / pierce the earth.3.6 Qur'an 69:14 - the Earth and mountains will be lifted.3.5 Qur'an 20:105-107 - when the mountains are scattered, the Earth is a level plain.3.4 Qur'an 18:47 - when the mountains are removed, the entire Earth will be apparent.3.3 Qur'an 2:144 - praying towards the Ka'bah.3.2 Qur'an 2:187 and 17:78 - fasting and prayer times.3.1 Qur'an 18:86 and 18:90 - setting and rising places of the sun.3 Indirect references to a flat Earth in the Qur'an.2.7 Qur'an 51:48 - farasha ('spread out') and mahidoon ('spreaders').2.1 Qur'an 2:22 - firashan ('thing spread to sit or lie upon').2 Direct references to a flat Earth in the Qur'an.Similarly, attempts to explain Quranic verses about the earth only in terms of local flatness at a human level are often challenged by critics using contextual arguments. The later idea that Islamic scriptures themselves indicated a spherical Earth was a creative act of reinterpretation. Critics note that clear descriptions and assumptions made in the Qur'an, hadith, tafsirs, and writings of early Islamic scholars demonstrate that Muhammad and his companions did not know the Earth was spherical but in fact held it to be flat and disk like, and this is the framework within which the Qur'an operates. Evidence does not support any of these claims, despite oft-cited statements from the works of Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Hazm (see below). Today, some Islamic scholars claim that Islamic scriptures and their first audiences were fully aware of the spherical shape of the Earth and that this was also a consensus view of early scholars. This map depicts 'a traditional Islamic projection of the world as a flat disk surrounded by the sundering seas which are restrained by the encircling mountains of Qaf'.
