Interest in most of these other far-fetched theories remains stable but the flat-Earth movement is growing, particularly in America. Picture: Getty ImagesĪnd it’s getting more traction than some of the other conspiracies out there, like chemtrails (which proposes that a plane’s long-lasting condensation trail is actually made up of chemical or biological agent). A third of Americans polled by YouGov believe the Earth is flat. In fact, a recent YouGov poll found that only around two-thirds of Americans aged between 18 and 24 believe that the Earth is round.Īlthough the idea the Earth is flat has been scientifically discredited, there seems to be a growing belief in the conspiracy theory. However, we say what Imaam Maalik said, “ The words of every person could be accepted or rejected, except the words of the infallible Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.”įinally, we would like to draw the questioner’s attention to the fact that the scholars established a very important principle, which is: it is impossible for a scientific fact to contradict absolute Islamic jurisprudence.If you type ‘flat Earth’ into Google, you’d be joining a group of people that have helped to triple the search term over the last couple of years. If the scholar Ibn Baaz said what contradicted the above, we do not know of any such Fatwa, but that does not mean that this Fatwa does not exist. It was confirmed long ago in the Quran that the orbits are round-shaped. The word Falak (orbit) means that it is round.”Īllaah The Almighty Says (what means): The astrologists agreed on this.Įven if there is a theory that suggests that the Earth is flat, it is confirmed today that the Earth is round without doubt. The orbits are circular as stated in the Book, the Sunnah (Prophetic tradition) and the consensus of the scholars. Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said, “ Know that it is agreed that the Earth is round-shaped.
The people of knowledge among the Muslims agreed a long time ago to the fact that the Earth is round. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger. All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds.
