91: The Sign

91:1 By the sun and his brightness, (91:1-2)
"The sun ... and the moon when she followeth him."
The moon orbits the earth; it doesn't "follow the sun."
91:2 And the moon when she followeth him,
91:3 And the day when it revealeth him,
91:4 And the night when it enshroudeth him,
91:5 And the heaven and Him Who built it,
91:6 And the earth and Him Who spread it, (91:6) "The earth and Him Who spread i.t"
The earth is flat according to the Quran.
91:7 And a soul and Him Who perfected it
91:8 And inspired it (with conscience of) what is wrong for it and (what is) right for it.
91:9 He is indeed successful who causeth it to grow,
91:10 And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it.
91:11 (The tribe of) Thamud denied (the truth) in their rebellious pride,
91:12 When the basest of them broke forth
91:13 And the messenger of Allah said: It is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink!
91:14 But they denied him, and they hamstrung her, so Allah doomed them for their sin and rased (their dwellings). "Allah doomed them for their sin" and burned their houses.
Doom in the Quran
For disbelievers a painful doom
91:15 He dreadeth not the sequel (of events).
