Wal arda farashnaahaa fani'mal maahidoon
48. And We have spread out the earth, and how excellently We spread it [54].
Allah has spread out the earth in such a way that, despite being round, it appears flat like a floor, making it easy to walk and live upon.
The earth is neither too hard, like steel, nor too thin, like water, allowing life to thrive.
Compared to the vastness of the heavens, the earth is like a tiny speck, showcasing Allah’s greatness in creation.
