Previously, we human beings, we thought that the
world was flat.
It was in 15/77
when Sir Francis Drake sailed around the Earth
that he first time proved that the Earth
on which we live, it is spherical in
shape. The Quran mentions 1400 years ago.
Chapter number 79, verse number 30.
And thereafter,
we have made the Earth egg shape. One
of the meaning of daha is an expanse,
and the earth is an expanse. The other
meaning is derived from the Arabic word duya,
which means an egg. And today, we know
the earth is not completely round like a
ball. It is flattened from the pole. It
is geospherical in shape. And if we analyze,
the Arabic word,
doesn't refer to a normal egg. It specifically
refers to the egg of an ostrich. And
if we analyze,
the egg of an ostrich is too
geospherical in shape. Imagine the glorious Quran 1400
years ago says that the Earth is geospherical
in shape.
