AR E WE B EING DECEIVED??

An investigative study on modern astronomy pertaining to The Holy Quran & empirical proofs.

Are We Being Deceived??!

PREFACE
This document is an investigative study on the modern astronomical beliefs, which were discovered in last century, and questioning its trueness and actuality as per knowledge provided by The Holy Quran and other empirical proofs. I request the reader to have an open mind and an open heart while reading this article. I am not trying to prove any point here, Im just trying to give a perspective which I feel is not obtained by many in present time. I am not any Islamic Jurist or Scholar, Im just one normal sinful slave of Almighty Allah (Rabbul-Izzat), who by Allah Talas guidance had an inspiration about this topic and to check the compliance of the modern belief with The Word of God. Ill try to put as much as facts and proofs from The Holy Book and Hadeeth Shareef of Prophet Sallalu alaihi wa sallim, and lay it in front of you. I encourage your personal investigation to be carried out before reaching any particular verdict. If by any chance this article is read by an Islamic Scholar or Jurist, I request him to do further investigation and try to reach a verdict and place a fatwa regarding this. At Last Almighty Allah is the lone Possessor of All Knowledge, & He knows the best. I pray to Allah Taala that He gives us guidance to follow the straight path and belief and also make us aware regarding all matters of religion.

Thanks, Your brother in Islam.

I N TRODUCTION
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem All Praises for Allah Rabbul Izzat, the Master of the Universe and Innite Peace and Blessings upon His Beloved, the last Prophet Hazrath Mohammed Mustafa (Sallal Leah Taala Alayhi Wa Sallam) and his Noble Descendants and Companions (Raid Allahu Tamale nAhum). From the bottom of my heart, I thank Allah Taala thousands of time for helping me to present this article. May Allah Rabbul Izzat accept our eorts! O My Brothers and Sisters! We are presently living in the age of ignorance. We have become living zombies, who imbibe whatever knowledge and news the media people are giving, without investigating it. The television and internet, have become the sole source of information for us, and whatever they are feeding us, we are taking it without slightest of doubt. We have indeed forgot that the doomed Satan and his army among Jinns and Men are making it sure that we swerve from the right path shown by Allah Subhuman-wa-taala. They are making strategies and plans for making us part ways from the religion and making it sure that we believe in whatever they are feeding us. I believe that Religion and Science doesnt go hand in hand, but I agree that Quran Shareef contains some facts which are also conrmed by modern science. But it doesnt mean that it always have to be the same case. As someone said, Science is the religion of the devil , I found this statement to be true. The more you get close to the modern science, you are swerving away from your religion. I agree, some of you might think by now, that Im just a crazy person, as many things which are stated in Quran Shareef, are profoundly in compliance with the modern scientic discoveries, like embryos, the determination of sex of fetus, regarding nger prints, regarding mountains like pegs, & many others. Like Ive said some of the modern discoveries are in complete compliance with the Quran Sharif, but some do not. I would like to present a discovery of the latter type, which I feel doesnt agree with the Quranic statements. Before proceeding, I request the readers to understand that every single word of Quran Shareef is the word of Allah subhan-wa-taala, and refuting a single word of the Holy Book is Kufr. No matter how many proofs this world try to show us regarding a particular phenomena, if it contradicts the Verses of Quran Shareef, then it a fallacy and it should not be accepted by any muslim. And if no proof exists regarding some phenomena, but Quran Shareef in a verse explains it, then its Kufr in doubting that verse.

A GI AN T LEA P OR A S MAL L S T E P ? ?
I would like to present to the reader a discovery of modern science which in all its actuality refutes with the verses of The Quran Shareef. By this I hope you will understand how science can deviate the people from religions and from believing in God. Charles Darwin proposed a theory which is widely accepted in western world and even we are taught about this theory in our school. Theory of Evolution, is a very successful and widely applauded theory which explains how the life on earth came into existence, moreover , how did humans came in existence. It states that the life on earth was a mere coincidence, with several astronomical,geographical, biological and chemical factors aecting it. It also says that the humans were evolved from apes, as we resemble them. Now considering the Theory of Evolution, any person who believes in this theory he is thrown apart from three major religions of the world i.e. Islam, Christianity and Judaism, as these religions teach that the rst human was Prophet Adam A.S., who was created by God and sent to the earth. From him the whole humanity came into existence. If any person who is agnostic, and wants to be a part of any religion, he will be discouraged by this theory and he would apparently become an atheist. This theory wants people to believe that God doesnt exist, and for the proofs they show some idiotic and unreliable proofs. Its clear now how science can deviate a person from religion. Why do they need to present a theory which would contradict any religion? Why Charles Darwin and others wants people not to believe in God? Why are they so determined in not letting people to choose faith? The answer to all this is that most of the modern media and science are weapons of doomed satan. These people follow the pathways of satan the doomed, and he guides them and show them strategies and plans to take down the children of Adam A.S., as he promised Allah that he will lead much of Allahs creation into hell. Now by the grace of Allah rabbul izzat, we are saved from believing in such satanic theories, but are we still safe? Are we subjected to any falsehood? Do we believe unknowingly in theories and phenomenas which contradict the Holy Quran? Arent these people still trying to take us down? Isnt the doomed satan laying out strategies to sway people from religions? Are we so ignorant that we believe whatever they are showing, without contemplating it with guidance in Quran Shareef? Are we being deceived???

On July 20th, 1969, it was shown that the human kind for the very rst time has stepped upon the Moon. The rst country to send their men on the Moon was United States of America. The whole world was shown a live telecast of the major event. The astronomers were shown to be hopping on moon, and the whole world was in a frenzy. "That's one small step for man, a giant leap for mankind." as quoted by Neil Armstrong while stepping on the Moon. Whole world witnessed the the mission from earth to moon and back again. It was quoted as the event of the century or a millennium. But for some people, the whole landing on moon and everything which was telecasted, was staged and a very big hoax. I rst found it funny, but then after some rigorous research, I was perplexed that actually the whole mission might be a hoax. Several factors are are adopted by these conspiracy theorists, which explains so as to why did USA staged the whole event and why did they lie. Also, they claim certain points, why it is impossible to land on moon. Ill give you some of the reasons why this whole thing was staged as stated by conspiracy theorists. a. American Government wanted to deviate peoples mind from Vietnam war which was happening at that time. b. Space Race:The US government deemed it vital that it win the space race against the Soviet Union. Going to the Moon would be risky and expensive, as exemplied by John F. Kennedy famously stating that the United States chose to go because it was hard.A main reason for the race to the Moon was the Cold War. It was stated the on who go to the moon rst will win the Cold War. It was technically impossible for them to go to the moon, so staging it instead would make a win win deal. c. Astronomy is a billion dollar industry, and they wanted to open a portal through which they can rake in billions of dollars. They also claim that: a. It was and still technologically impossible to land on moon. b. If Americans really did land on moon some 50 years back, why havent they still build a space station there? c. Why there is no development regarding the technological improvements on moon. d. Today, when some countries are richer than America, why arent they taking part in space missions? e. Why did the original video which was telecasted removed from all databases in world? f. The video which was telecasted live, was indeed prerecorded as there werre many errors in the video which could easily prove the whole mission to be a hoax.

Are We Being Deceived??!

g. It is highly impossible to cross the boundaries of earth, as the rockets doesnt have enough power to pass through Van Allen Radiation Belt. h. Why only NASA undertake the missions of going into space, when other countries are also capable of doing so? i. Why ten astronomers involved Apollo missions died in tragic and mysterious accidents? j. Since then till today all the information provided by the NASA is staged and a hoax, and all the pictures and videos are manipulated and created with advanced softwares present today. There are several other factors and claims which seriously put us in doubt pertaining to the authenticity of the space travel as claimed by NASA. I request readers to do their self research on this subject. Hundreds of videos, with lengths of hundreds of hours is present on youtube and on internet databases. So, please do the research as its very important before we proceed further. Why am I telling you to do research? How this whole conspiracy theory is related to our religion and how this information will help us? This event of Apollo 11 was the only event in which the shape of the Earth was shown on television. After that event till today, NASA only showed us the pictures showing the earth. Until that event there was a confusion and people were not sure about the shape of the earth. After this event, we came to know that the shape of the earth is spherical, and all the scientic studies, and school education adopted theories, that the earth is spherical. We were taught how the earth is tilted on imaginary axis and how it is rotated around sun and how days and night come into play, how seasons come into play and every single aspect of earth was explained taking into account the shape of the earth as spherical, which was in fact provided by NASA. NASA is the only authority which gives us images of earth, solar system etc. Can we really believe whatever they are showing? Can we accept the information and pictures they are showing us considering the 20% of the world believe it to be false? Isnt it normal to doubt the authenticity as we cant trust either NASA or the Conspiracy Theorists? Arent we supposed to verify it from our islamic scholars and more over from The word of Allah rabbul izzat? Arent we suppose to do a research about the claims they are making? Arent we supposed to be conscious about what information to accept and what not to, considering satan and his army is constantly making strategies to make us unsuccessful and deviated from the right path? What are we doing brothers and sisters? Why have we become such live zombies? Remember refuting a single claim done by the Holy Quran is Kufr. Are We Being Deceived??! 6

EARTH MODELS
Spherical Earth:

We all very well know the Sun, the Earth and the Moon system. How days and nights are formed, how season changes occur, how earth revolve around sun while rotating to cause day and night, and how moon rotates around sun providing us the phases. There isnt much to say about this model as weve very much accustomed to this system. Ill provide some gures regarding the Earth, the Moon and the Sun. The Sun and the Moon are more than 149,000,000 (149 million) kilometres away from each other. The Sun and the Earth are also more than 149,000,000 (149 million) kilometres away from each other. The Moon and the Earth are only 384,000 kilometres away from each other, which is less than 0.3% of the distance between the Sun and the Earth or the Sun and the Moon. The Sun orbits the Milky Way Galaxy. The Earth orbits around the Sun. The moon in turn, orbits around the Earth.

Flat Earth: Almost all of the world till 14th century believed that earth is at. Both religions ordained by Allah rabbul izzat before Islam i.e. Christianity & Judaism believed that earth was at, as it was present in their Holy scriptures i.e. in the Bible and the Torah. Still today some of the christians and many other people believe that earth is Flat, and that the modern science is fouling peoples minds. They refer to the verses present in the Bible and stay determined that the earth is Flat. A society even exits which believes that earth is at and stationary. Let us see some characteristics of the Flat earth system.

Characteristics of Flat Earth: 1. Earth is a at disc, which is xed and stationary and the Sun and the Moon rotate around the Earth. 2. Arctic region or North pole is center of the earth and the Sun and the Moon rotates around this north pole. 3. The earth is dark and the Sun while rotating takes the spotlight with it, which falls on earth making day and night. 4. The seasons are formed relative to the distance of the Sun from the North Pole i.e. Arctic region, as shown in the above picture. 5. The Moon also follows the path like the Sun. 6. There is no south pole. 7. The sky is solid structure and covers the earth like a dome. 8. Gravity doesnt exist, things fall because they are heavy and meant to fall. (Claim by Flat earth Society)

9. Please check out the picture below to understand how the at earth system explains the formation of days and nights. In the picture below, the Sun (Orange ball) & Moon (white ball) is rotating in a pattern, like they are following each other. The earth is dark matter and movement of sun causes days to form.

10. In the below picture, the seasons are explained.

I present you some more pictures which may explain the at earth system.

T HE HOLY QURAN ABOUT SHAPE OF THE EARTH


I hope you got how the both earth models works. Now let us see what the Holy Quran says about the shape of the Earth and other astronomical phenomenas. Well refer and understand few Holy Verses which deals with Sun, Moon, Earth, Sky, Day & Night etc. Please read them carefully with understanding and apply each verse to the two possible earth models explained above and you decide for yourself which model ts best. I am referring to the translation of the Holy Quran by Imam Ahmed Raza Khan who was a great Jurist and learned scholar of Islam. I am providing the Chapter and Verse no. as well, if you want you can follow any other translation. Its in the form of (Chapter no:Verse no) Sun, Moon, Day & Night: 1. O Beloved (Prophet)! Had you not seen him who quarreled with Ibrahim about his Lord because Allah gave him Kingdom? When Ibrahim said, my Lord is He who gives life and causes death, said he, 'I give life and cause death'. Ibrahim said, 'Well, Allah brings sun from East: bring it you from the West. 'Thereupon the indels were confounded and Allah guides not the unjust people. (2:258) 2. Undoubtedly, your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and earth in six days, then established Himself on the Throne betting to His Dignity. He covers the night and day by each other following it swiftly, and made the sun and moon and stars all subservient to His command. Behold! His is the creation and command. Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. (7:54) 3. Allah is He who raised up the heavens without the pillars that you can see, and then He settled Himself on the throne as is betting to His Dignity and made the sun and the moon subservient. Each one runs to a term stated. Allah plans the work and details the signs so that you may believe the meeting with your Lord. (13:2)

4.And He made the sun and moon subservient for you, which are constantly moving, and made the day and night subservient for you. (14:33)

Are We Being Deceived??!

5. And He has made subservient for you. The night and the day and the sun and the moon. And the stars are subservient by His Command. No doubt. In it, there are signs for the wise people. (16:12) 6. And O beloved! You will see the sun when it rises, moves away from their cave to the right and when it sets, turn away from them on the left, whereas they are in the open space of the cave. This is of the signs of Allah. He whom Allah guides is on the right way, and he whom He sends astray, for him you will never nd a supporter to guide. (18:17) 7. And it is He Who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon. Each one is oating in a circumference. (21:33) 8. 'O Listener! Have you not seen that Allah brings night in the day and makes the day in the night and He made the sun and the moon to serve, each pursues its course till an appointed time - and that Allah is Aware of your works? (31:29)

9. He brings the night into the day and brings the day into the night and He has engaged the sun and the moon into services; every one run up to an appointed time. This is Allah your Lord, His is the kingdom. And those whom you worship beside Him, own not even the husk of a date palm. (35:13) 10. And a sign for them is the night, We draw o the day therefrom, hence they are in darkness. And the sun runs to its appointed resting-place. This is the commandment of the Dominant, the Knowing. And We have appointed stages for the moon till it becomes again like an old branch of palm tree. It is not for the sun that it might catch the moon and nor the night may supersede the day. And each one is oating in an orbit. (36:37-40) 11. He made the heavens and earth with truth. He rolls the night around the day and He rolls the day around the night and He has employed the sun and the moon into service. Each moves to an appointed term. Do you hear? He is the Dignied, the Forgiving. (39:5) 12. By the sun and its brightness. And by the moon when it follows it. (91:1-2)

Observation: 1. As you can see Allah rabbul izzat, whenever mentioned Day & Night, He mentioned Sun & Moon, if we consider spherical model, then for the day & night, rotation of earth is responsible rather than movement of Sun & Moon. 2. Allah rabbul izzat is telling that the Sun & Moon are constantly moving, there by making days and nights subservient. 3. In the 6th Holy Verse above, Allah rabbul izzat is mentioning about the people of Kahf. Allah taala is reminding beloved Prophet sallahualai hi wasallam that sun moved to right while sunrise and moved to left while sunset. If we consider the spherical model then tilting of axis is responsible for this phenomena to occur, but Allah rabbul izzat, The Possessor of all Knowledge, mentioned Sun swaying from its path. Try to apply this verse to both models and decide yourself. 4. In 7th Holy Verse above Allah rabbul izzat informs us that the night and the day and the sun and the moon are moving in circumference. Apply this verse to both models and see which model ts best. 5. In the 10th Holy Verse above, Allah rabbul izzat informs us that the sun will never catch up the moon. How is it possible when the science teaches us following & how is it possible when the Sun and the Moon are so much apart?? The Sun and the Moon are more than 149,000,000 (149 million) kilometres away from each other. The Sun and the Earth are also more than 149,000,000 (149 million) kilometres away from each other. The Moon and the Earth are only 384,000 kilometres away from each other, which is less than 0.3% of the distance between the Sun and the Earth or the Sun and the Moon. The Sun orbits the Milky Way Galaxy. The Earth orbits around the Sun. The moon in turn, orbits around the Earth. 6. Also, in the 10th Holy Verse Above, Allah is swearing by the Sun, and the Moon when it follows it. How is it possible in spherical model when Sun and the Moon are so much apart. Try to apply both models to above verse and decide. We shouldnt for a fraction of second doubt the words of Allah rabbul izzat. We shouldnt let science to precede the Holy Verses in our contemplation. Apply these Verses to the both the earth models and see for yourself which is more applicable and decide for yourself.

Are We Being Deceived??!

I hope some of the above holy verses pertaining to the Sun and the Moon and the Day and the Night, shed some light on what could possibly the shape of the earth, it may or may not be at model as Allah rabbul izzat knows best, but for sure it is not what the people at NASA are showing us and what the schools are teaching us. Now let us discuss some holy verses, addressing the earth.

Earth: 1. And Who made the earth a bed for you, and the sky a structure and caused water to come down from heaven hence brought forth therewith some fruits for your food, therefore do not set up equals for Allah knowingly. (2:22) 2. And it is He who stretched the earth and made therein anchors and rivers, and He made two kinds of every fruit in the earth. He covers the night with the day. No doubt in that are signs for a people who reect. (13:3) 3. And We have stretched the earth and put therein anchors, and caused to grow therein everything proportionately. (15:19) 4. And He has set up anchors in the earth. Lest it may shake with you and rivers and roads that, you may get direction. (16:15)

5. He Who made the earth for you as a bed and laid for you walking paths in it and sent down rain from the sky. And thereby We brought forth-varied pairs of vegetation. (20:53) 6. And We put anchors in the earth lest it should move away with them, and We made therein wide pathways that haply they may be guided. (21:31) 7. Or He Who made the earth for habitation(stable ground) and set amidst it streams and made for it anchors (mountains) and a barrier between the two seas. Is there any other god along with Allah? Nay! Most of them know not. (27-61) 8. Allah is He who made the earth for you a resting place(xed abode) and the heaven as a roof and shaped you, then made your shapes nice and provided you with good things This is Allah your Lord. So blessed is Allah, the Lord of the entire world.(40-64)

Are We Being Deceived??!

9. And the earth We have spread it out, and placed there in anchors of mountains and caused to grow therein every beautiful pair. (50:7) 10.And We have made the earth a oor, and what an excellent spreader We are. (51:48) 11.Go forward towards the forgiveness of your Lord and towards a paradise of which the breadth is as the width of the heavens and the earth prepared for those who believed in Allah and His Messenger. This is the grace of Allah; He bestows it upon whom so ever He pleases. And Allah is the possessor of great grace. (57:21) 12. And Allah has made the earth for you as a bed spreading. (71:19) 13. Have We not made the earth a bed, (78:6) 14.And when the earth is stretched out. (84:3) 15. And at the earth, how it has been spread out? (88:20) 16.And by the earth and its Expansionist. (91:6)

Observations: 1. As youve seen whenever Allah Rabbul izzat mentioned the earth in the holy verses, He mentioned characteristics like bed, stretched, spread, oor and width which basically applies to a plain surface, or at surface. 2. Allah rabbul izzat also mentioned earth to be habitable, resting place which signies it to be xed abode or stable. 3. Allah rabbul izzat also stressed on the mountains as anchors, lest earth should move with them or shake, which shows it is stable and Allah rabbul izzat to maintain its stability xed the earth with anchors etc. 4. Not even a single holy verse from above mentioned earth to be anything near spherical, rotating and making a revolution around the Sun. While these verses states that earth is stable, xed, immovable, stretched, spreaded, like a bed having width which are attributes of at body, i.e. at earth. Are We Being Deceived??! 16

5. Not even a single holy verse exists in the Quran Shareef, which talks about the orbit of Earth. The Holy Quran told us about, the orbits of the Sun and the Moon, if the modern belief is true, then Allah taala would have surely informed us about the orbit of the Earth. 6. There is one verse of the Quran Shareef which is presented now, by which some scholars try to prove that The Holy Quran states that the earth is spherical, to be precise, they claim that the Earth is egg-shaped.

Sahih International And after that He spread the earth. Muhsin Khan And after that He spread the earth; Picktha" And after that He spread the earth, Yusuf Ali And the earth, moreover, hath He extended (to a wide expanse); Shakir And the earth, He expanded it after that. Dr. Ghali And the earth, after that He attened it (for life).
The above presented is the 30th verse of the 79th Surah, An-Naziat, with the most acceptable english translations in the world by several Scholars. The reason for giving such scrutiny to this verse is that, many scholars use this verse for supporting the fact that earth shape in the Holy Quran declares the earth to be egg shaped. The translation used by them is the following. And We have made the earth egg shaped. (Wrong Translation) Now the word in the above verse representing the shape is the last word Dahahaa. This word comes out from the root word Dahuw which means To spread out. Other word rooted to the same word Dahuw are used to describe a place where an ostrich lays its eggs. No where in the dictionary this word means egg-shaped. Some scholars to suit the scientic and modern belief, translated this word to be eggshaped, as this root word is also used to describe a place where an ostrich lays its eggs. Are We Being Deceived??! 17

I request you to personally refer to the Lexicon Arabic to English dictionary and nd the meaning of this word. All the meanings related to the word dahahaa means attened out, smoothed out, expanded, stretched, spread and the last meaning is the place where ostrich lays its eggs, but never egg-shaped. Like I said, Allahs words are the nal and ultimate truth, no muslim can doubt the authenticity, and translating the Quranic Verses to suit ones belief is kufr and those who believe it are also committing a great sin. So please contemplate and choose what to believe. Now let us discuss the verses pertaining to the sky. Sky: 1. And Who made the earth a bed for you, and the sky a structure and caused water to come down from heaven hence brought forth therewith some fruits for your food, therefore do not set up equals for Allah knowingly. (2:22) 2. And on the day, the sky shall be split as-under with the Clouds and the angels shall be sent down fully in large number. (25:25) 3. Have they then not seen what is before them and what is behind them of the heaven and the earth? If We will We may cause them to sink in the earth or cause a piece of the sky to fall upon them. Undoubtedly, in it is a sign for every bondman repentant. (34:9) 4. And undoubtedly, We adorned the lower heaven with the adornment of the stars. And a safeguard from every contumacious devil (Satan). They can not give ear towards heavenly world and they are pelted from every side. (37:6-8) 5. Allah is He who made the earth for you a resting place(xed abode) and the heaven as a roof and shaped you, then made your shapes nice and provided you with good things This is Allah your Lord. So blessed is Allah, the Lord of the entire world.(40-64) 6. Have they not looked up to the sky above them, how We have built it and adorned it and that there is no rift therein? (50:6) 7. And if they should see a fragment of the sky falling down, they would say then, it is clouds piled up. (52:44) 8. Allah is, it is He, who made seven heavens, and of the earth their like; the commandment comes down in their midst, so that you may know that Allah can do everything, and the knowledge of Allah encompasses everything.(65:12) 9. Do you not see that Allah has made seven heavens one upon another? (71:15) Are We Being Deceived??! 18

10.The sky will be split on account of its grief. The promise of Allah shall be fullled. (73:18) 11.And the sky shall be opened up and it will become as doors. (78:19) Observations: 1. In the above verses Allah rabbul izzat is informing us that He with all His Might built for us sky as a structure, a roof, a canopy. 2. Allah rabbul izzat also warns about the fragment of piece of sky falling down, which signies that the Sky is a solid structure, which doesnt apply to spherical earth system. 3. Allah rabbul izzat also tells that the sky shall be opened up and it will become like doors. 4. The point worth noticing here is the The Holy Quran says sky to be solid structure, and the up and down exits. It also informs us that seven heavens are built right above the earth one up on another. But the science teaches us the concept of space. They teach us that sky is nothing but the air, and sky is no solid. 5. In the 4th Holy Verse above, Allah taala is mentioning about the shayateen who try to hear the information from heavens above and how they are pelted from every side. Now how can this verse be applied when the earth is spherical since there is no sky as per modern belief, its just open space out there. 6. So if we believe earths spherical model , we are refuting the Holy Verses of the Quran Sharif. I beg you to please do your own research and refute from science and believe in the Holy Qurans verses blindly, lest Allah taala will hold us accounted as sinners and disbelievers in word of Allah on the day of judgement. Hadeeth Shareef related to the movement of the Sun, the Moon and the shape of the earth: 1. Sahih Bukhari, volume 9, Book 93, Number 520: & Narrated by Abu Dharr, I entered the mosque while Allah's Apostle was sitting there. When the sun had set, the Prophet sallahu alaihi wasallam said, "O Abu Dharr! Do you know where this (sun) goes?" I said, "Allah and His Apostle know best." He sallahu alaihi wasallam said, "It goes and asks permission to prostrate, and it is allowed, and (one day) it, as if being ordered to return whence it came, then it will rise from the west." Then the Prophet sallahu alaihi wasallam recited, "That: "And the sun runs on its xed course (for a term decreed)," (36.38) as it is recited by 'Abdullah. Are We Being Deceived??! 19

2. Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 421: Narrated by Abu Dharr, The Prophet sallahu alaihi wasallam asked me at sunset, "Do you know where the sun goes (at the time of sunset)?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He sallahu alaihi wasallam said, "It goes (i.e. travels) till it prostrates Itself underneath the Throne and takes the permission to rise again, and it is permitted and then (a time will come when) it will be about to prostrate itself but its prostration will not be accepted, and it will ask permission to go on its course but it will not be permitted, but it will be ordered to return whence it has come and so it will rise in the west. And that is the interpretation of the Statement of Allah: "And the sun Runs its xed course For a term (decreed). that is The Decree of (Allah) The Exalted in Might, The All-Knowing." (36.38) 3. Sahih Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 93, Number 528: Narrated by Abu Dharr, I asked the Prophet sallahu alaihi wasallam regarding the Verse: 'And the sun runs on its xed course for a term decreed for it.' (36.28) He said, "Its xed course is underneath Allah's Throne." Observation: 1. From the hadeeth shareef of the beloved of Allah, Mohammed Mustafa Sallahu alahi wasallam, our beloved nabi, we found out that the movement of the Sun is responsible for the days and nights to occur. 2. Also, the Sun follows a particular path which is underneath of the Throne of Allah azzoajwal, which is high above the seven heavens. Apply these hadeeth shareef to the above models and see which one ts the best. And only Allah taala is the Knower of everything and anything.

The following are some empirical observations which may help us decide the shape of earth. 1. Whenever experiments have been tried on the surface of standing water, this surface has always been found to be level. If the Earth were a globe, the surface of all standing water would be convex. This is an experimental proof that Earth is not a globe. 2. Surveyors' operations in the construction of railroads, tunnels, or canals are conducted without the slightest "allowance" being made for "curvature," although it is taught that this so-called allowance is absolutely necessary! This is a cutting proof that Earth is not a globe. 3. There are rivers that ow for hundreds of miles towards the level of the sea without falling more than a few feet - notably, the Nile, which, in a thousand miles, falls but a foot. A level expanse of this extent is quite incompatible with the idea of the Earth's "convexity." It is, therefore, a reasonable proof that Earth is not a globe. 4. The idea that, instead of sailing horizontally round the Earth, ships are taken down one side of a globe, then underneath, and are brought up on the other side to get home again, is, except as a mere dream, impossible and absurd! And, since there are neither impossibilities nor absurdities in the simple matter of circumnavigation, it stands without argument, a proof that the Earth is not a globe. 5. Human beings require a surface on which to live that, in its general character, shall be LEVEL; and since the Omniscient Creator Allah,must have been perfectly acquainted with the requirements of His creatures, it follows that, being an All-wise Creator, He has met them thoroughly. This is a theological proof that the Earth is not a globe. 6. The best possessions of man are his senses; and, when he uses them all, he will not be deceived in his survey of nature. It is only when some one faculty or other is neglected or abused that he is deluded. Every man in full command of his senses knows that a level surface is a at or horizontal one; but astronomers tell us that the true level is the curved surface of a globe! They know that man requires a level surface on which to live, so they give him one in name which is not one in fact! Since this is the best that astronomers, with their theoretical science, can do for their fellow creatures - deceive them - it is clear that things are not as they say they are; and, in short, it is a proof that Earth is not a globe. 7. The common sense of man tells him - if nothing else told him - that there is an "up" and a "down" in -nature, even as regards the heavens and the earth; but the theory of modern Are We Being Deceived??! 21

astronomers necessitates the conclusion that there is not: therefore, 'the theory of the astronomers is opposed to common sense - yes, and to inspiration - and this is a common sense proof that the Earth is not a globe. 8. If the Earth were a globe, people - except those on the top - would, certainly, have to be "fastened" to its surface by some means or other, whether by the "attraction" of astronomers or by some other undiscovered and undiscoverable process! But, as we know that we simply walk on its surface without any other aid than that which is necessary for locomotion on a plane, it follows that we have, herein, a conclusive proof that Earth is not a globe. 9. It is a well-known fact that clouds are continually seen moving in all manner of directions - yes, and frequently, in dierent directions at the same time - from west to east being as frequent a direction as any other. . Now, if the Earth were a globe, revolving through space from west to east at the rate of nineteen miles in a second, the clouds appearing to us to move towards the east would have to move quicker than nineteen miles in a second to be thus seen; whilst those which appear to be moving in the opposite direction would have no necessity to be moving at all, since the motion of the Earth would be more than sucient to cause the appearance. But it only takes a little common sense to show us that it is the clouds that move just as they appear to do, and that, therefore, the Earth is motionless. We have, then a proof that the Earth is not a globe. 10.The aeronaut is able to start in his balloon and remain for hours in the air, at an elevation of several miles, and come down again in the same county or parish from which he ascended. Now, unless the Earth drag the balloon along with it in its nineteen-miles-asecond motion, it must be left far behind, in space: but, since balloons have never been known thus to be left it is a proof that the Earth does not move, and, therefore, a proof that the Earth is not a globe. 11.The Sun and Moon may often be seen high in the heavens at the same time - the Sun rising in the east and the Moon setting in the west - the Sun's light positively putting the Moon's light out by sheer contrast! If the Newtonian theory were correct, and the moon had her light from the Sun, she ought to be getting more of it when face to face with that luminary - if it were possible for a sphere to act as a reector all over its face! But as the Moon's light pales before the rising Sun, it is a proof that the theory fails; and is gives us a proof that the Earth is not a globe. 12.The Newtonian hypothesis involves the necessity of. the Sun, in the case of a lunar eclipse, being on the opposite side of a globular earth, to cast its shadow on the Moon: but, since eclipses of the Moon have taken place with both the Sun and the Moon above the horizon, it follows that it cannot be the shadow of the Earth that eclipses the Moon; that the theory is a blunder; and that it is nothing less than a proof that the Earth is not a globe. 13.It is commonly asserted that "the Earth must be a globe because people have sailed round it." Now, since this implies that we can sail round nothing unless it be a globe, and the fact Are We Being Deceived??! 22

is well known that we can sail round the Earth as a plane, the assertion is ridiculous, and we have another proof that Earth is not a globe. 14.Seven-hundred miles is said to be the length of the great Canal, in China, Certain it is that, when this canal was formed, no "allowance" was made for "curvature." Yet the canal is a fact without it. This is a Chinese proof that the Earth is not a globe. 15. The most important proof that the earth is not a globe is the following Holy Verse, and the Command of the Creator Allah rabbul izzat, which is told in the following Verse. We are seeing the turning of your face towards heaven repeatedly; necessarily then We will turn you towards that Qibla which pleases you. Turn your face towards the sacred mosque (Kaaba) just now; and O Muslims! Turn your faces towards the same, whenever you be. And those who; have been given the Book know necessarily, that this is the truth from their Lord, and Allah is not unaware of their doings. (2:144) Now considering the earth to be spherical, when a muslim stand for a namaz his face should be towards the holy Kaaba. But being the earth spherical if the person is in some other country then he/she is facing directly in the space rather than the Holy Kaaba. Look at the picture below to get the idea.

For people who are praying a great distance from Mecca, their qiblah would be somewhere down towards the ground, and the people who are located on the opposite 'side' of the earth would have to pray vertically downward towards the center of the earth. Considering the spherical earth, Muslims in the Solomon Islands (east to Australia) in fact blaspheme against Allah, because (nauzubillah) they defecate toward the direction of the Ka'aba when they answer the call of nature.

Even if we do not consider the above aw, being the earth spherical the person is facing to wards Kaaba, and simultaneously his back is also facing Kaaba, which isnt applicable as Allah taala ordered us to face our front only not both. Picture below was uploaded by a non-muslim, and decide for yourself how the sphericity of the earth highly inapplicable for muslims.

Now imagine a plain and at earth, and if a person living in any part of the world when facing towards the Qibla, his vision is directly towards the Kaaba, rather than going into the space. Allah rabbul izzat, being the Knower of everything, the possessor of All-Knowledge, the Creator, the Most Wise, ordered all muslims to face Kaaba, and this commandment is applicable to every corner of the world till the day of Judgement.

In the above picture, the yellow line denotes the vision of the muslims while praying, as you can see, it doesnt matter from which Continent or Country the muslims pray from, they are facing exactly the qibla, and being unied in the worship. Even the muslims of Solomon islands, are fully able to face Qibla only when the earth is at.

I N THE END..
The whole idea behind writing this article is to make people aware that it may be possible that we are refuting the word of Allah, without knowing it. Let me just summarize, how we are refuting the Holy Verses if we believe in the Spherical Earth, and the Solar System, and all the modern Astronomical beliefs: 1. Were refuting that the Sun & the Moon are moving in a pattern following each other, and their movement is causing days and nights, as science teaches us that rotation of earth is causing days & nights. 2. Were refuting that the Sky is a solid structure, as science teaches us that Sky is nothing but an open space with gases. 3. Were refuting that earth is like a at, plain, stretched surface, without any sphericity, as the science teaches us that the Earth is a giant sphere. 4. Were refuting the Earth to be xed and stable, as the science teaches us that its moving rotating at a speed of 1000 miles/hour. 5. Were refuting that were facing Kaaba while prayer, since the sphericity of the Earth causes us vision to go out in outer space, rather than to Kaaba. Refuting a single verse of the Holy Quran is Kufr, but as you can see were refuting not one but many verses of the Holy Quran unknowingly and in ignorance. Were indeed becoming Kar, unknowingly and in ignorance. I am not asking you to belief that the Earth is at. Only Allah rabbulizzat knows the actual shape of the Earth, the Sky and the Sun and the Moon, but the Guidance which Allah taala gave us through the Holy Quran, our mind can think of only one possible shape. May Allah taala accept my work and guide us all Muslims on the right path and right knowledge.

Let me nish my discussion by showing the ugly side of this world.


Why is the United Nation Emblem resembles the Flat earth map???

Decide for yourself, what sort of unreliable world were living in...!! These people wants us to get in doubt regarding the verses of the Holy Quran. They want people to show that nauzubillah the belief of the Quran is false. The Quran is Word of Allah, and it doesnt matter if believing in them will make us like eccentric people, or weird people, we will believe in every single word of the Quran Shareef till our last breath Inshallah..! This is not a simple believe, its that kind of belief which would change the course of time. Since all of the world believes that the Earth is spherical , we should not do the same, as Allah gave us guidance through His book and His beloved Prophet Sallahu alaihi wasallim. When we start believing that the Earth isnt a giant Sphere rather its Flat, we will be subjected to millions and billions of people, telling us how naive and stupid were. But no matter what we will not refute a single word of the Quran Sharif. May Allah help us in having correct faith and being sticked to it. That time has come my friends, about which Rasool Allah Sallahu alaihi wasallim informed us about... Anas bin Malik (radi Allahu anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: There shall come upon the people a time in which the one who is steadfast upon his religion will be like the one holding onto a burning ember. (Hasan) [Chapters on Al-Fitan: Jami At-Tirmidhi] & & & & & & THE END
