    The Imām unambiguously said in one of his books: "The earth is spherical."

    technically, there is nothing "unscientific" about considering the sun to orbit the earth. as has been mentioned in a few posts previously, the frame of reference is what matters according to the theory of general relativity. it allows us to hold on to our scholarly tradition whilst not contradicting modern scientific theory.

    our forum is about 17 years old. there are posts about this topic. you can use the search feature.

    ---
    if someone suddenly pops up on our forum and begins shooting these questions, and in this abrupt manner - thus will be our response.
    our response would not be the same for members who have been here for a while and are genuinely concerned or confused.

    because you are asking questions in a rude manner. we don't know whether you are a genuine student or a troll or a spy (take heart; even i am accused of being a spy..) - so we answer in a similar manner.

    imagine you were sitting in a library reading a book. someone joined on your table and began shooting questions about your aqidah, your family, etc etc. it is natural to get irritated. my first response would be: "who are you? and why are you asking these questions?"

    the brother has already answered it.

    if you are not a science graduate (or have knowledge of undergrad level physics/math), there is no way you can understand any argument related to planetary motion.

    if you can blindly follow and quote present day scientists and science literature, and blindly repeat the false charges against islam, what stops you from blindly accepting the statements of ulama?

    people who are incapable of writing a legible english passage should spend their time improving it - as it is a more useful skill which will improve their standing (or increase their chances) in a worldly career, instead of arguing about a subject which they have no clue, nor trained in it or have the aptitude to appreciate a nuanced argument in that science.

    ===
    give me empirical and directly observed proof that the earth is not stationary and is orbiting the sun. if you do not understand what this means, you should not try to punch above your weight.

    you can read alahazrat's books and start with fauz e mubin. read the book in its original urdu and if you are unable to understand it, the answer to this question is greek and latin to you.

    can be found in alahazrat's books. start with fauz e mubin. i won't link it here either. find the original, read it and come back with questions. if you cannot, then do something which is within your ability.

    give me empirical proof that it is not static. no proof by induction. just directly observable, empirical proof. thank you.

    i will answer you but only if you have fulfilled the following conditions:

    1. translation of kanz from al-hamd to wa'n nas.

    2. tafsir upon kanz: khazayin al-irfan and nur al-irfan

    3. anwaru'l qur'an

    4. anwaru'l hadith

    5. any commentary of nuz'hatu'n nazar of ibn Hajar; nuz'hatu'n nazar itself with sh.nuruddin itr's annotations.

    6. tadrib al-rawi

    ----
    because anyone who has not read the above shouldn't be demanding proof from qur'an and hadith, without having the ability to comprehend them.

    You need to learn a couple of things bro:

    1. Some verses can be interpreted in multiple ways. For example, there are verses which are interpreted by some scholars as meaning the earth is flat whilst other scholars reject this interpretation and believe the earth is spherical.

    2. You don't need to hold onto a particular scholar's interpretation as they could be wrong. These interpretations are not from the necessities of the religion and can be acceptably differed upon by the ulema.

    3. If modern science says x and a classical scholar A agrees and classical scholar B disagrees- you can take the position of classical scholar A. Indeed, if classical scholar B was alive today, would they still hold the same position?

    4. You need to stop speaking to Islamophobes or stay off social media if you're easily confused.

    Before going into models for the rotation of planets around an axis/around the sun/around the galactic core/through the supercluster, do we even agree with some of the fundamental aspects of the theory being used to underpin these models?

    Namely, do we even agree that "space" is a "thing" that can be "warped" rather than just being pure void?

    Does ala hazrat say there is no gravity and if what is the correct proof and is he think the earth is flat.

    The meaning you have taken that the earth orbits the sun and that Allah Taala only restrains it to the extent that it does not move out of its orbit, can this be shown from any Sahabi, Tabi, Imam, Tafsir, or any Islamic book where this is mentioned?

    Aoa brother, sorry for bumping a year old thread. What about this?
    Imam Alusi (d. 1317/1854)
    "And the philosopher of this age used to claim that the sun does not move at all and (they used to claim) that the moon moved in orbit around the earth. And the earth around the sun. And we have heard that they changed their opinion. So they claimed that the sun moves (according to) another planet. And this indicates that they don't have a proof for their first claim - as the one who used to support them said. And the apparent is that their condition today and even tomorrow is the same as their condition from yesterday. And we follow the apparent meanings (of the verses, I guess) until there is an absolute proof for the opposite and then we will lean for ta'wiil and it's door is wide"[Ruh al-Ma`ani]

    (a) despite holding a contrary position, Imam Alusi acknowledges that if the evidence of those who state the sun is stationary is established, then that is the position that will be adopted. (b) that the primary texts themselves allow for a sufficient scope of interpretation that would allow for such a position.
