In the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind some important questions.
It seems compulsory for the serious one who is looking for the truth to have a look at those questions and if possible to answer them.
Allah' questions are many. In this series, these questions are chosen randomly.
-----------------------
The question in this article is to all the disbelievers:
Which is harder in Creation, you or the heaven?
Which is more difficult to create, you the little man or this unlimited heaven?
Allah made the heaven rise high; He made its vertical extension high even and flawless. And He made the earth like an Egg-shaped ball; this is a scientific fact that has been discovered after the revelation of the Quran by about 1400 years!
-----------------------
Verses 79:27- 32 give the question of this article and talk about it
The meanings of Verses 79:27- 32
Verse 79:27 says:
Are you, the deniers of the Resurrection, harder or difficult to create (to resurrect) or the heaven which Allah has made, (built, constructed)?
Verse 79:28 says:
He made it (the heaven) rise high
He made its vertical extension high even and flawless
Verse 79:29 says:
And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof) and He made its day and sun clear.
Verse 79:30 says:
And He spread out the earth: even then He spread it on the water; He made it flat,
However, the Arabic word used in the verse to describe the shape of the earth is "Da-ha-ha", it means He made the earth like an Egg-shaped ball. This indicates that the Quran gave the exact shape of the earth, the egg-like; this scientific fact was discovered after the revelation of the Quran by about 1400 years!
Verse 79:31 says:
He has brought forth from the earth its waters, by making its springs gush forth, as well as the water buried deep in the belly of the earth and its pastures thereof, what cattle graze, of trees and herbage, and what humans consume of foods and fruits
Verse 79:32 says:
And has set firm the mountains (He made fast the hills), on the face of the earth so that it stays still. This verse describes in one word the role played by the mountains that makes the Earth still. This scientific meaning was only discovered after the revelation of the Quran by about1400 years!
