In a journey, a man became a fellow traveler. One of such tradition from Imam as-Sadiq (a.s.) is given below: Traditions regarding the earth being sphericalįrom the traditions that have come to us through the sinless Imams (a.s.) we can understand that the earth is spherical. And only because the earth is round and inclined that every point of the earth can have a particular East and a separate West.Īnd the sun rising on a certain point from different points of the earth, just as sometimes it is necessary that it set on other part of the earth therefore the Easts and Wests being many is clear proof of the earth being spherical. Its explanation is this that, as indicated in the last discussion, this verse argues about Easts and Wests, and number of points of rising and setting of the sun, for which the earth should necessarily be spherical, because it is a universally admitted fact that if the earth had been flat there would have been only one East and one West. (3) But nay! I swear by the Lord of the Easts and the Wests that We are certainly able to bring instead (others) better than them, and We shall not be overcome. (2) The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the easts. (1) And We made the people who were deemed weak to inherit the eastern lands and the western ones which We had blessed and the good word of your Lord was fulfilled in the children of Israel because they bore up (sufferings) patiently… 1 And this can be surmised from the following verses: Question: Is there evidence in the Holy Qur’an and traditions regarding the Earth being spherical?Īnswer: Of the indications present in Qur’an regarding these mysteries is that the Earth is spherical.
