2. ‘The shape of the earth is spherical.' The Qur’an says in Surah
Luqman, Chapter 31, Verse 29, and in Surah Al-Zumur, Chapter 39, Verse
5, that…' Allah merges the nights into the day, and merges the days into the
night’. Allah overlaps the days into the night, and overlaps the night into the
day. This overlapping and merging, which is a gradual slow process, of day
changing to night and night changing today is only possible if the shape of
the earth is spherical. It is not possible if it is flat, otherwise there would
have been a sudden change. So Qur’an speaks about the spherical nature
of the earth, 1,400 years ago. Qur’an further says in Surah Naziat, Chapter
79, Verse 30 ‘And thereafter We have made the earth, egg shaped’.
