Muhammad explains the mystery of planet Earth

We obviously do not give enough credit to Muhammad, who carefully explained the mystery of the planet Earth. Muhammad received the truth from Allah through the Angel Gabriel. Now here is the truth about the planet Earth.

"Hazrat Abdullah Muslem asked Muhammad (pbuh): Ya Rasul Allah! Please tell us, on what does this vast earth stand? Muhammad replied: Allah has placed this seven-layered, huge earth on the horn of a cow. This cow has four thousand such horns, and the distance from one horn to another is a journey of five hundred years. This gigantic cow is standing on the back of a giant fish. This fish is floating on glutinous water; the depth of this water is the distance of a journey of forty years. The glutinous water is resting on floating air. This air or atmosphere is resting on darkness. The darkness rests upon the Hell and that Hell is placed on a massive stone. This massive stone is resting on the head of an enormous Farishta (angel); the Farishta is standing on wind and the wind is resting on the empty world of Allah's Kudrat (glory)."

So tell me Muslim friends; is Muhammad right?
