I just used a translator to translate the above verse and it said.
"and the earth after that spread" (notice the word egg does not appear) http://www.etranslator.ro/arabic-eng...translator.php |

The following is a list of forty translations of the Quran surah 79.30
http://www.islamawakened.com/quran/79/30/default.htm As can be seen most of them say the same approximate thing as the translator I used in my last post 443. Only a few cranky translation use the word egg. The Rashad Kalifa translation is known to be full of falsehood, and the other translations that use the word egg are probably just as distorted or falsified. In other word verse 79.30 simply confirms all the other verses that speak of the earth and they say it is FLAT. (spread out) |

30- He made the earth egg-shaped (79- The Snatchers, 30) That's the truth. It doesn't matter what people write. The Qur'an says the world is shaped like an egg. He also says it's not a rajm penalty. Bring millions of wrong translations. It doesn't matter. When you look at the original verses in Arabic, you see the truth. |

Here is the word 'dahw' and it translates a 'spread out', not egg.

And, ask people whose native language is Arabic.
You can easily reach the truth. |

Here are two more pages of Arabic translations that say the verse does not use the word egg, but says the earth is spread out.

Just exactly how does a word you now admit says 'to spread out' , give something a round shape?
Here is a line from your post 454 “The word ‘dahw’ means to spread out, giving (something) a round shape.” |

Verse (79:30), Word 4 - Quranic Grammar
The fourth word of verse (79:30) is divided into 2 morphological segments. A verb and object pronoun. The perfect verb (فعل ماض) is third person masculine singular. The verb's triliteral root is dāl ḥā wāw (د ح و). The attached object pronoun is third person feminine singular. Chapter (79) sūrat l-nāziʿāt (Those who Pull Out) (79:30:4) daḥāhā He spread it. |

I'm talking with more people.
Ask them the following paragraphs: "The Arabic word “dahw” means rotundity like that of the ostrich’s egg. The above verse was also interpreted to refer to the shaping of the earth in the form of an ostrich egg. Prof. Dr. Süleyman Ateş, former head of Religious Affairs in Turkey, gives the following definition of the word, based on the famous Arabic dictionary Lisan u’l Arab: “The word ‘dahw’ means to spread out, giving (something) a round shape.” Derived from the same stem, the word “medahi” referred to round stones. Despite the meaning of rotundity concealed in words derived from the word “dahw” there have been translators for whom a spherical earth was difficult to conceive, who had to translate it as “to spread out.” The actual shape of the earth does have the shape of an ostrich egg. Thus the shape of the earth is spheroid with depressions at the poles. The exact figure of the earth which had posed a problem throughout history was pointed out by the Quran, 1400 years ago." and: "Now, in the above, the verb daḥā – which literally means spread out, unfolded or unrolled – shares common origin with its cognates, like dahw (to unroll), dahraja (to roll), midhan (roller), dahya (egg), dahaha (ostrich-egg), udhiya (ostrich-nest), dahal (marble) and almadahi (round stone, round object). All these undertones of ‘daḥā’, all indicating some rolling or roundness of a spheroid or a rounded egg, make some exegetists perceive the word as a reference to the actual geo-spherical shape of the Earth – an oblate spheroid with slightly squished poles, i.e. an almost perfect sphere. While the Earth originated as a ‘cosmic egg’ shooting out probably from a spinning, solar nebula, even in its present state it is ellipsoid (oval) in form, loosely resembling a rounded egg. Moreover, structurally similar to a rounded egg, made of three layers (shell, white and yolk), the Earth itself is made of three geological layers (crust, mantle and core)."

The Qur'an clearly says the Earth is the sphere.
Why are there mistakes in the some translations? Because interpreters often believe in the teachings of Hadith, sect and Sufism. And these teachings are also influenced by the false Torah and the False Injil. Looking at the original verses, you see the truth. The fake Injils and the false Torah say the world is flat. The Quran says it is a sphere/egg form. Therefore, do not deceive yourself with translations and interpretations that are made according to the hadith and sectarian religions on the Internet. |

Not only about the shape of the world, but in many subjects, interpreters have made erroneous translations in the influence of the hadith, sect and Sufism teachings.
Rajm, headscarf, circumcising children, believing in the straight /flat Earth, staying away from wealth, beliefs to holy people, souls from false Torah and false Injils. But the effects of the hadith and sectarian religions translate them as if they existed in Islam in the Internet world. The Qur'an tells the opposite. https://lampofislam.wordpress.com/20...omment-page-1/ |

Why are you still yammering on about the shape of the Earth? You've already proven the Koran is WRONG about the shape of the Earth. You've even demonstrated it gets the shape of the Earth wrong in different ways in various passages.
We get it. Muhammad knew jack squat about the shape of the Earth. Do you really need to keep preaching about the various ways Muhammad got it wrong? |

Emre is stuck with trying to defend his position. Which is he either lies deliberately about what the Quran says about the shape of the earth. Or he has brought into the lies of Imams who certainly know the Quran says the earth is spread out, meaning it is flat. But they cannot admit such things because the Quran is supposed to be the perfect words of God.

On the contrary, I answered and prove it. You're ignoring it. You're repeating your lies like a Robot. There's no other choice to take your salary, of course.
We once repeat, the Qur'an says the world is shaped like a sphere/egg. 30- He made the earth egg-shaped (79- The Snatchers, 30) http://www.quranmiracles.com/2011/03...-of-the-world/ |
