The Qur'an says that the earth and the sky are flat and mountains prevent earthquakes and other disasters

Submitted by dhimmi no more (United States), Dec 28, 2014 at 17:00

These were my questions for our dear Nasr who lives in Malaysia which would be another economic basket case without its Chinese, Hindu, Buddhist and Christian population because he and his likes are busy reading the book of the Arabs and their god

Here is my question number 5

5. Is it true that the Qur'an says that الجبال were created by Allah as وتد so we do not have زلازل? If so then how come we have زلازل in the failed state of Pakistan?

For the readers: Now I will translate the Arabic and you will laugh: The Qur'an says that the mountains were created by Allah as pegs (of tents) so we would not have earthquakes! No I'm not kidding so my question to our dear Nasr if this is true then how come there are many earthquakes in the failed of Pakistan where there are many mountains!

And here are more questions:

9. Is it true that Allah says that the sky is like a tent

I will get back to this later

11. Is it true as your Allah says in the Qur'an that the sky is a roof which makes the sky also flat?

This one is really funny and see below

12. Is it true that your Allah says that the mountains prevent earthquakes?

13. Is it true that Allah also says that mountains support the flat sky which is like a roof so the roof aka the sky does not fall on your bed?

And these are our dear Nasr's answers to all these disasters

Answer (5) & (12) & (13)Earthquake is due to movement of plates underneath where human stands.

Earthquakes take place blah...blah...blah "underneath where human stands" ! What? are you for real? but again education in Malaysia must be a disaster

Try reading that mountains is also moving as mentioned in Quran 27:88.

Well let us read it in Arabic a language that you cannot speak read or write

وترى الجبال تحسبها جامدة وهي تمر مر السحاب

Or and you see the mountains you regard it as hard and she (mountains) pass (like) the passing of the clouds

By your and the author of the aya flawed logic the Rocky Mountains should be in Malasyia by now so is the Rocky Mountains in Malaysia by any chance?

Now let us see what al-Tabari tells us about this disaster

http://www.quran-for-all.com/t-27-3-88.html

al-Tabari seems to be busy fixing Allah's poor Arabic by telling us that the word جامدة or hard which has no meaning he tells us that it should be قاءمة or standing

What a disaster al-Tabari is fixing Quranic Arabic and you do not like al-Tabari right? Here is al-Jalalayin's tafseer

"وَهِيَ تَمُرّ مَرّ السَّحَاب" الْمَطَر إذَا ضَرَبَتْهُ الرِّيح أَيْ تَسِير سَيْره حَتَّى تَقَع عَلَى الْأَرْض فَتَسْتَوِي بِهَا مَبْثُوثَة ثُمَّ تَصِير كَالْعِهْنِ ثُمَّ تَصِير هَبَاء مَنْثُورًا

Now we know why the Rocky Mountains have not moved to Malaysia and that your claim is bogus

While everything is rotating,

Mr and you must padron me ignorant if the earth rotates which is does then mountains also rotate right? but wait your Allah says that the earth is FLAT AND STATIONARY! Oh you do not believe me? The Saudi Mufti says so so do you disagree with him our dear Nasr the wannabe Arab?

the mountains due to them having deep roots prevent the land from shaking as well. in other words,

Then how come the more mountians you have the more earthquakes you would have as in the case of the failed state of Pakistan? Oh you do not believe me? here read this

http://www.tectonics.caltech.edu/outreach/highlights/earthquakes_and_mountains_International_Innovation.pdf

oh darn it this kuffar science! Mr and you must pardon me mountains are created due to techtonic movement which leads to earthquakes and in actual fact earthquakes create mountians! And no mountains do not have roots or pegs and more damaging to your case is that mountains do not prevent earthquakes and do not stabilize the techtonic movement and do not resemble pegs or act in the manner in which pegs are used" (Credit goes to my brilliant friend Mark D)

Oh and here is Pickthall's translation

Flying with the flight of clouds

and here is the big time liar Yusuf Ali's translation

They shall pass away as the clouds pass away

Nothing about your bogus claim

if the earth surface is even, no mountain with deep roots exist. then vibration/shake can be felt frequently.

Reference?

Another opinion favour to say that the word shahab in the location where they eavesdrop refer gamma ray.

Allah was talking about اشعة جاما really? where is Allah talking about اشعة جاما

Ament bil-Lah!

Answer (9) & (11) & (13)Heaven like a tent. Your are referring to Isaiah 40:22?

Our dear Nasr your Allah says that the Bible is a corrupted book right? then never quote the Bible in any form or shape in our little chat

If a tent is meant as space for containing the celestial bodies. Then it might be correct.

Not really and as you shall see your Allah says that the earth is flat like your bed and the sky is a copula and the mountains are like pegs so the flat sky does not fall in you and your bed!

Here let us read Q2:22

الذي جعل لكم الارض فراشا والسماء بناء

Or He made for you the earth as bed and the sky as building (copula)

Oh and your so called Allah then says in Q78:6-7

الم نجعل الارض مهدا والجبال اوتادا

Or did we not make earth like a bed (not expanse as Pickthall says) and the mountains as PEGS (of a tent)

And not mountrians does not mean awtad and here from an Arabic dictionary

http://www.almaany.com/ar/dict/ar-ar/%D9%88%D8%AA%D8%AF/

وتَّدَ الخيمةَ : ثبتها بالأوتاد

Or the peg of the tent!

And more evidence that your Allah is an Arab

Oh there is more then in Q21:31 where it tells us about the funny "mountains prevent earthquakes"

So in summary your Allah is saying that

1. The earth is flat and it is like you bed

2. The sky is a copula

3. This means that the universe is a tent

4. The mountains are there to support the sky with the help of pegs (just as you would find in a tent of an Arab) so the sky does not come down crashing on your bed!

What a disaster

But;

But what? That you need to get a real job?

You might want to read about heavens (sky) and earth all being similar to scroll of a book in Quran 21:104.

Let us read it

يوم نطوى السماء كطى السجل للكتاب blah....blah....blah

or the day we bend/roll the sky like bending/rolling the record for the book

And here is the meaning of the word نطوى

http://www.almaany.com/ar/dict/ar-ar/%D8%B7%D9%88%D9%89/

This means that your Allah is saying that the sky is FLAT like the papers of a scroll or a book so is the sky flat our dear Nasr al-tablighee?

And later read NASA opinion on unverse.http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/universe/uni_shape.html

What am I supposed to read here? That NASA also says like your Allah that the earth and the sky are flat and mountains prevent earthquakes? But I'm curious why do you quote kuffar sources tell me

Oh there will be more
