Aaj kal kuch log social media par yeh da’wa karte hain ke Zameen asl mein gol nahi, balki “chapti” hai – yani flat. Aur woh yeh bhi kehte hain ke Islam bhi isi baat ko support karta hai. Phir wo ek sawal uthate hain: “Agar Zameen gol hai to har shakhs Kaaba ki taraf rukh kaise kar sakta hai?”
Yeh objection na sirf geography ki misunderstanding hai, balki Islamic ibadat ki hikmat ko bhi samajhne mein ghalti hai. Is article mein hum “Chapti Dharti” ke da’wey ka logical post-mortem karenge – aur saath hi saath yeh bhi samjhayenge ke gol Zameen hone ke bawajood Qibla ki taraf direction kaise possible hai.

Key Takeaways:
- Islam “chapti dharti” ka aqeeda nahi deta; Qur’an ke ishare gol Zameen ke concept se mutabiq hain.
- Direction (Qibla) ka ta’alluq sirf straight line se nahi, balke shortest path se hai – jo gol Zameen par bhi calculate hota hai.
- Round Earth geometry me har point se Kaaba ki taraf ek exact direction hoti hai.
- Map ko 2D me dekhna confusion paida karta hai, asal duniya 3D spherical hai.
- Unity of direction (Qibla) sirf physical nahi, spiritual tawheed ka bhi paighaam hai.
Kya Zameen Waqai Chapti Hai?
Pehla sawal ye hai ke “chapti dharti” ka da’wa kis buniyad par kiya jata hai? Jo log is theory ko maante hain, unki reasoning aksar pseudo-scientific hoti hai. Yeh theory na to Islam se sabit hai, na hi modern science se.
Islam ne Zameen ki shape ko directly “gol” nahi kaha, lekin Qur’an me aise lafz ka istemal hua hai jo curved ya spread-out structure ki taraf ishara karte hain. Misal ke taur par:
“Wahuwa allazi mad-dal arda…” (Surah Ar-Ra’d)
Yani Allah hi hai jisne Zameen ko bichhaya.
Yahan “bichhana” ka matlab flatness nahi, balke insani zindagi ke liye accessible and livable surface hai – jese ek curved football field ko bhi “flat” kaha ja sakta hai jab tak wo usable ho.
Kya Round Zameen Par Direction Possible Hai?
Yeh sawal aksar is confusion se paida hota hai ke agar Zameen gol hai, to direction kaise define hoti hai? Log sochte hain ke har mulk se Kaaba ka rukh alag hone ki wajah se ibadat me confusion hoti hogi.
Haqeeqat me gol Zameen par bhi har point se kisi bhi maqam tak shortest distance (Great Circle Route) define hoti hai. GPS systems, compass aur spherical trigonometry isi principle par kaam karte hain.
Matlab yeh ke India se agar hum Kaaba ki taraf rukh karein, to hum West ka rukh ikhtiyar karte hain. America me log North-East, aur Australia me log North-West. Har shakhs apne maqam se Kaaba tak ka sabse direct rasta leta hai – aur yeh perfectly logical aur practical hai.
Map Ka 2D Hona Confusion Kyun Paida Karta Hai?
Jo confusion flat earth ke hawami level par hoti hai, wo zyada tar map representation ki wajah se hoti hai. Duniya ke aksar maps 2D (do-dimensional) form me hote hain – jahan Zameen ko seedhi, chhati hui tasveer ke roop me dikhaya jata hai.
Lekin asal duniya 3D spherical hai. Jab hum ek gol object ko seedha karne ki koshish karte hain, to kuch distortions lazmi hoti hain. Jese ek orange ke chilke ko seedha spread karein to wo phat jata hai.
Isi wajah se agar koi banda sirf 2D map dekh kar direction judge kare, to wo sochta hai ke sabko ek hi side dekhni chahiye. Yeh ghalat fehmi hai.
Qibla Ki Hikmat – Sirf Geography Nahi
Islam me Qibla ka concept sirf direction ka nahi, balke unity ka paighaam bhi hai. Har Musalmaan chaahe duniya ke kisi bhi kone me ho, namaz ke waqt ek markaz ki taraf rukh karta hai.
Yeh wahdaniyat ka practical izhar hai. Is se yeh tasur milta hai ke:
- Islam centralized hai
- Allah ka ghar sab ka markaz hai
- Ibadat me tafreeq nahi, ittihad hai
Chahe Zameen gol ho ya chapti – agar system direction calculate kar sakta hai (aur wo karta hai), to Qibla ka hukm poori duniya me apply hota hai. Aur Islam is real-world practicality ke sath 1400 saalon se amal me aaya hua hai.
Spherical Earth Par Bhi Multiple Raste – Magar Ek Hi Maqam
Aik aur misunderstanding yeh hoti hai ke agar Zameen gol hai, to Kaaba tak do mukhtalif raste ho sakte hain – ek short aur ek long.
Ye baat technically theek hai. Aap Hyderabad se Bengaluru seedha South-West jaa sakte hain, ya ghoom kar North-East se jaa sakte hain – dono raste hain.
Lekin common sense kya kehta hai? Seedha aur chhota rasta lena behtar hai. Aur Islam bhi yehi kehta hai – “jo rasta sabse asaan aur seedha ho, usi ko lo.” Qibla ka ta’ayyun bhi isi buniyad par hota hai.
Conclusion
Chapti dharti ka da’wa na to ilm par mabni hai, na Islam par. Yeh sirf ek be-bunyad nazariya hai jo logon me shak paida karta hai. Islam ka Qibla ka concept gol Zameen ke mutabiq perfectly apply hota hai, aur direction ka ta’ayyun ek practical aur reliable method ke zariye hota hai.
Qibla ki taraf rukh karna Islam ka unity-driven aur logical hukm hai, jo duniya ke kisi bhi kone me ho – har Musalmaan ko ek hi maqam ka pata deta hai: Kaaba – Allah ka ghar.
FAQs
Q: Kya Islam gol Zameen ko accept karta hai?
A: Ji haan. Islam me kisi jagah chapti Zameen ka aqeeda nahi diya gaya. Qur’an me curved earth ke ishare hain.
Q: Agar Zameen gol hai to Kaaba ki taraf rukh kaise tay hota hai?
A: Har maqam se Kaaba tak ka shortest path define hota hai – isay GPS aur direction tools se calculate kiya ja sakta hai.
Q: Kya maps ki flat shape galat hai?
A: Maps sirf 2D representation ke liye hote hain. Zameen asal me 3D spherical hai – is liye direction ko samajhne ke liye globe-based thinking zaroori hai.
Q: Kya Qibla ka direction universal hota hai?
A: Har mulk ka Qibla ka direction uske location ke hisaab se mukhtalif hota hai, lekin sab Kaaba ki taraf hi hote hain.
Q: Kya Qibla ka rukh badal sakta hai agar hum jagah change karein?
A: Ji haan. Jese hi aap apna location change karte hain, Qibla ka exact direction bhi accordingly change hota hai.
