And at the earth - how it is spread out?

Tafsir Ibnu Katsir

Tafsir

{And to the earth, how it was spread out} meaning it was extended. They use it as evidence of the power and oneness of God Almighty. It was mentioned with camels because they are more closely connected to it than anything else. His saying: it was spread out is apparent in the earth as a surface, and the scholars of Islamic law agree with this, not a sphere as the people of astronomy said, even if it does not violate a pillar of Islamic law.
