Al-Qur'an Surah An-Nazi'at Verse 30

Mufti Taqi Usmani

and, after that, He spread out the earth.

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

As for the earth, He spread it out as well,[[ The Arabic verb daḥa also suggests that the earth is egg-shaped. The noun form diḥya is still used in some Arab dialects to mean an egg. Based on {2:29}, {41:9}-12, and {79:27}-33, Allah ordained both realms, then formed the earth and created its provisions, then formed the heaven into seven heavens—all in six ˹heavenly˺ Days. See footnote for {7:54}.]]
