The biggest Islamic scholars like At-Tabari and Ibn Kathir agree that Nun in the verse 68:1 refers to the whale which carries the Earth on its back, so there should be no doubt among Muslims, that the Islamic whale exists.
* Nun definitely means "whale", because Jonah (who was eaten by a whale) was called "man of the Nun".
* The ''turjuman al-Qur'an'' Ibn Abbas, along with the biggest Islamic scholars, both sunni and shia, agree that Nun in the verse 68:1 refers to the whale which carries the Earth on its back.
* The Earth is attached to the whale with mountains. So the mountains function as pegs.
** So the Islamic whale also helps to explain the verse 78:7 about mountains being "pegs".
