Transliteration:( Wal arda farashnaahaa fani'mal maahidoon )
54. The earth is so vast that in spite of being round, it appears to be flat like the floor. Also, it is not as hard as the steel that it would be difficult to walk and roam on it. Nor is it as thin as water that the creation may drown in it...This is one of the finest examples of Almighty Allah's greatness. Then also, this vast earth, in comparison to the height of the heavens is such like a piece of dirt placed on a large ground.
