Why the "flat earth theory" is wrong ?

@Ishak123 , Brother, a little bit of effort from your side is needed to understand the flat earth model. Consider earth as a flat circular surface as a pizza, with an enclosed dome like sky on top of the earth. Now the earth is an enclosed system which is dark. Consider Sun and moon, the two illuminating bodies which are closer to earth and of same size, Floating in orbits around the centre of earth (North Pole). Local sun acts as a spot light, and where ever it runs the spotlight moves with it, causing day and night. Find attached picture for illustration.

And speaking with quranic reference, please refer to the following ayats, which always mentions movement of Sun and moon whenever Allah wants to emphasize Day and night. No where in Quran, it is mentioned that the rotation of earth causes days and night. Orbital movement is mentioned, but only for Sun and Moon, but not for earth. Please do your own research.

1. O Beloved (Prophet)! Had you not seen him who quarrelled with Abraham about his Lord because Allah gave him Kingdom? When Abraham said, my Lord is He who gives life and causes death, said he, 'I give life and cause death'. Abraham said, 'Well, Allah brings sun from East: bring it you from the West. 'Thereupon the infidels were confounded and Allah guides not the unjust people. (2:258)

1. Undoubtedly, your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and earth in six days, then established Himself on the Throne befitting to His Dignity. He covers the night and day by each other following it swiftly, and madethe sun and moon and stars all subservient to His command. Behold! His is the creation and command. Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. (7:54)

1. Allah is He who raised up the heavens without the pillars that you can see, and then He settled Himself on the throne as is befitting to His Dignity and made the sun and the moon subservient. Each one runs to a term stated. Allah plans the work and details the signs so that you may believe the meeting with your Lord. (13:2)

1. And He made the sun and moon subservient for you, which are constantly moving, and made the day and night subservient for you. (14:33)

1. And He has made subservient for you. The night and the day and the sun and the moon. And the stars are subservient by His Command. No doubt. In it, there are signs for the wise people. (16:12)

1. And O beloved! You will see the sun when it rises, moves away from their cave to the right and when it sets, turn away from them on the left, whereas they are in the open space of the cave. This is of the signs of Allah. He whom Allah guides is on the right way, and he whom He sends astray, for him you will never find a supporter to guide. (18:17)

1. And it is He Who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon. Each one is floating in a circumference. (21:33)

1. 'O Listener! Have you not seen that Allah brings night in the day and makes the day in the night and He made the sun and the moon to serve, each pursues its course till an appointed time - and that Allah is Aware of your works? (31:29)

1. He brings the night into the day and brings the day into the night and He has engaged the sun and the moon into services; every one run up to an appointed time. This is Allah your Lord, His is the kingdom. And those whom you worship beside Him, own not even the husk of a date palm. (35:13)

1. 10. And a sign for them is the night, We draw off the day therefrom, hence they are in darkness. And the sun runs to its appointed resting-place. This is the commandment of the Dominant, the Knowing. And We have appointed stages for the moon till it becomes again like an old branch of palm tree. It is not for the sun that it might catch the moon and nor the night may supersede the day. And each one is floating in an orbit. (36:37-40)

1. 11. He made the heavens and earth with truth. He rolls the night around the day and He rolls the day around the night and He has employed the sun and the moon into service. Each moves to an appointed term. Do you hear? He is the Dignified, the Forgiving. (39:5)

1. 12. By the sun and its brightness. And by the moon when it follows it. (91:1-2)

Not even one verse can be applied to globe model to make sense. But these verses works perfectly on a flat earth model.

AS for Enclosed Sky, Find verses below:

1. And Who made the earth a bed for you, and the sky a structure and caused water to come down from heaven hence brought forth therewith some fruits for your food, therefore do not set up equals for Allah knowingly. (2:22)

1. And on the day, the sky shall be split as-under with the Clouds and the angels shall be sent down fully in large number. (25:25)

1. Do you not see that Allah has made seven heavens one upon another? (71:15)

1. 10.The sky will be split on account of its grief. The promise of Allah shall be fulfilled. (73:18)

1. 11.And the sky shall be opened up and it will become as doors. (78:19)

I appreciate each person do his own research. AND BELIEVE ME, THERE IS NOT EVEN A SINGLE MEASURABLE, DEMONSTRABLE, AND REPEATABLE EVIDENCE THAT THE EARTH IS ROUND. LET ME GIVE YOU A CHALLENGE, PROVE EARTH IS A GLOBE WITHOUT USING NASA, WITHOUT USING SATELLITE IMAGES, WITHOUT ANY SPACE MUMBO JUMBO MODERN SCIENCE PRESENTS. PLEASE DEMONSTRATE IT. I CAN GIVE YOU 100 REPEATABLE PROVES AND DEMONSTRABLE PROVES ABOUT EARTH BEING FLAT.

THERE ARE NOT MANY EVIDENCES OF GLOBE EARTH, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT!!

THANKS.
