[Refutation] Qur'an doesn't claim that Earth is Still, in any way

Rotation of the Earth (and also its Direction of Rotation) proved by the Qur’an

A) Scientific Proof from the Qur’an that Earth rotates, and in a specific direction:

You will see the mountains and reckon them to be solid; but they go past like clouds-the handiwork of Allah Who gives to everything its solidity. He is aware of what you do. [4] (Qur'an, 27:88)

The above verse emphasizes that the Earth not only rotates but that it also has a direction of rotation. The direction of movement of the main cloud masses at 3,500-4,000 metres high is always from West to East. That is why it is generally the state of the weather in the West which is looked at in meteorological forecasts. [5]

If only they had believed and had fear [and awareness of Allah]!
A reward from Allah is better, if they only knew.
[6]

Do you not know that Allah is He to Whom the kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs and that, besides Allah, you have no protector and no helper? [7]

The main reason why cloud masses are pulled from West to East is the direction in which the Earth rotates. As we now know, our Earth spins from West to East. This scientific fact, only recently established by science, was revealed 1,400 years ago in the Qur’an, at a time when the Earth was believed to be flat, and to be resting on the back of an ox. [8]

I believe the above explanation exceeds the answer you were expecting.


“The scientific considerations, which are very specific to the Qur'an, greatly surprised me at first. Up until then, I had not thought it's possible for one to find so many statements in a test compiled more than thirteen centuries ago referring to extremely diverse subjects and all of them totally in keeping with modern scientific knowledge.”Dr. MAURICE BAUCILE (The Bible, The Quran and Science)

"As a miracle of purity of style, of wisdom and of truth, it is the one miracle claimed by Mohammed, his standing miracle he called it, and a miracle indeed it is!" REV. BOSWORTH-SMITH

“It (Qur’an) states that it originates from the One who created everything. So everyone has the right to say, "Convince me! If the author of this book really originated life and everything in the heavens and on the earth, then He should know about this, about that, and so on." And inevitably, after researching the Quran, everyone will discover the same truths. Additionally, we all know something for sure: we do not all have to be experts to verify what the Quran affirms. One's iman (faith) grows as one continues to check and confirm the truths contained in the Quran. And one is supposed to do so all of his life.

May God (Allah) guide everyone close to the truth.”Dr. GARY MILLER (The Amazing Quran)
