Abstract
This study deals with the induction of the most
prominent Qur'anic verses that indicate to the spherical nature of the Earth,
and demonstrates the implications of these verses on the spherical nature of
Earth according to the interpretation of ancient Muslim scholars who had lived
before the belief of Earth's spherical nature spread as a fact after the year
of (1522 A.D.= 930 Hijri) through Magellan's exploratory journeys. The author
also has evaluated all of these interpretations and clarified the indication of
the Qur'anic verses in which one may understand that the Earth is flat. The
study concluded that the Holy Qur'an consists of many texts confirming the
spherical nature of the Earth, and that the most of ancient Muslim scholars
believed in the spherical nature of Earth.
Key words: Spherical Earth, Muslim Scholars, Inimitability of the Holy
Qur'an.
