No complete picture of Islamic cosmogony is given in the Qur'an, however, from what details are offered it does appear that the writer(s) of the Qur'an envisioned the earth as flat (see [[Islamic Views on the Shape of the Earth]]). The Qur'an also paints the picture of the universe in which both the sun and the moon revolve around the earth; the hadith add to the picture the detail that when not visible they prostrate themselves to Allah. On top of this, the [[Tafsir|mufasirrun]] add to the picture [[The Islamic Whale]], the mythological giant whale upon which the earth as a whole rests. | No complete picture of Islamic cosmogony is given in the Qur'an, however, from what details are offered it does appear that the writer(s) of the Qur'an envisioned the earth as flat (see [[Islamic Views on the Shape of the Earth]]). The Qur'an also paints the picture of the universe in which both the sun and the moon revolve around the earth (see [[Geocentrism and the Quran]]), above which are seven heavens, the lowest adorned with the stars; the hadith add to the picture the detail that when not visible they prostrate themselves to Allah. On top of this, the [[Tafsir|mufasirrun]] add to the picture [[The Islamic Whale]], the mythological giant whale upon which the earth as a whole rests. All of the Islamic scriptures fail to evince the now apparent knowledge of the actual vastness of the universe vis-a-vis the earth. | ||

{{Quote|{{Quran|2|258}}|Hast thou not Turned thy vision to one who disputed with Abraham About his Lord, because Allah had granted him power? Abraham said: "My Lord is He Who Giveth life and death." He said: "I give life and death". Said Abraham: "But it is Allah that causeth the sun to rise from the east: Do thou then cause him to rise from the West." Thus was he confounded who (in arrogance) rejected faith. Nor doth Allah Give guidance to a people unjust.}} | {{Quote|{{Quran|2|258}}|Hast thou not Turned thy vision to one who disputed with Abraham About his Lord, because Allah had granted him power?
