Is it because of Allah that the sky does not fall down to the surface?

[Vivaldi]

In Quran, it says Allah holds the sky so that the sky does not fall down to the surface.

[jshm2]

Nope. You're confused.

The verse is

"As for the sky, He raised it ˹high˺, and set the balance ˹of justice˺ so that you do not defraud the scales." - (Ar Rahman 55:7-8)

In translation, the sky's are fair and even, according to their purpose. People should take the lesson that if something as great as the sky can't mess around without great problems for all, then what chance you got?" It's a positive exhortation that you cannot expect good, while doing bad.

[Vivaldi]

You are the one who doesn't know.

surah al hajj 65

He is clearly talking about the rain. Storms are important to sailors, that's carrying on the metaphor. The rain does not fall unless Allah wills it.

This is why you need an Imam to explain things to you.

[Vivaldi]

@Belgie

Nope.

[Vivaldi]

It says sky. It is clear.

[Belgie]

How about you talk to an Iman? Someone who can literally slap some sense into you when you're being thick?

[slatyb]

That just shows that the Quran is not the word of an all-knowing God but an ignorant nomad.

[Idkwtfimdoing96]

I'd appreciate if you'd not make religious jokes on here

[Vivaldi]

It is written in Quran

[Idkwtfimdoing96]

if it is then why are you even asking this question?

[Vivaldi]

Allah keeps the sky from falling down to the surface.

[purplepoppy]

That's nice of him. Chicken Licken will be relieved.

[genericname85]

no it's because of density gradients and fluid dynamics and because the "sky" isn't a solid thing.

[OddBeMe]

The sky is the atmosphere held by gravity and density of the chemicals. If you want to call that “Allah” thats on you. And you’ll look like an idiot.

[Vivaldi]

In Quran, it is written that Allah holds the sky so that sky does not fall to the surface.

[OddBeMe]

Yeah thats why the quran and the bible and the ancient book of the dead are all stupid.

[OddBeMe]

Also tell your friends to leave Salmon Rushdie alone.

[Anonymous]

Stop thinking your book of poetic license is in any way literal, you daft sod.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

The only way I can imagine that being literal is keeping the air around, which if that the case, is more idiotic than it already just existing

[MrTaboo]

Since the air is sitting on the ground. That would be incorrect

[Snsl153]

Is this some kind of weird joke?

[Vivaldi]

It is written in Quran

[Snsl153]

Okay, look, let me explain something to you. What we commonly refer to as "the sky" is simply that aspect of the Earth's atmosphere that we can see from any vantage point on the globe. It's not a scientific term, it isn't something that needs to be "held up" by anyone (gases don't behave the way solid, naked-eye objects do), and this question of yours actually displays an ignorance of reality and how it works that is even more embarrassing than the kind of questions the flat-earthers here on GAG usually ask.

[Vivaldi]

In Quran, it is written that Allah holds the sky so that sky does not fall into the surface.

[Vivaldi]

In Quran, it is written that Allah holds the sky so that sky does not fall to the surface.

[Snsl153]

So what? Who cares what some book that was written approx. 1,400 years ago has to say about anything at all? The Quran is completely irrelevant. It's just a book. Do you Mohammedans worship a book?

[Vivaldi]

In Islam, Quran is the word of Allah.

[Snsl153]

Again, so what? That doesn't mean it's actually accurate or in any way true. Books, on their own, don't prove anything.

[Vivaldi]

I don't believe in Allah.

[Anonymous]

We really need to stick to the truth of the Bible and Christianity

[Anonymous]

Meh! Lots of books say lots of things.

[Lottifan]

What a lot of crap.

[Anonymous]

Good stories for kids.
