The transcript discusses the history of the Earth and how it is now flat and flattened. The discussion also touches on the different meaning of the word daha, which refers to the shape of the Earth, and the Arabic word duya, which refers to the shape of the Earth. The discussion concludes that the Earth is indeed ge Volumeic and that the Bible is not completely round like a ball.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Previously, we human beings, we thought that the
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:03
			world was flat.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			It was in 15/77
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			when Sir Francis Drake sailed around the Earth
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:12
			that he first time proved that the Earth
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			on which we live, it is spherical in
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			shape. The Quran mentions 1400 years ago.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			Chapter number 79, verse number 30.
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:22
			And thereafter,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			we have made the Earth egg shape. One
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			of the meaning of daha is an expanse,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			and the earth is an expanse. The other
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			meaning is derived from the Arabic word duya,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			which means an egg. And today, we know
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			the earth is not completely round like a
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			ball. It is flattened from the pole. It
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			is geospherical in shape. And if we analyze,
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:42
			the Arabic word,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			doesn't refer to a normal egg. It specifically
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			refers to the egg of an ostrich. And
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			if we analyze,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			the egg of an ostrich is too
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			geospherical in shape. Imagine the glorious Quran 1400
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58
			years ago says that the Earth is geospherical
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			in shape.
