Flat Earth Theory in Islam

I have to be honest, this came to me as a huge surprise. Shock even. I thought it was a joke at first but there are actually people alive today in the west, "educated" in the information of age of technology and science who seriously believe that the Earth is a flat disc.

I viewed some videos and found that majority are bible trolls who don't know anything about the bible. Because of this many are starting to believe that the flat earth theory is somehow a religious belief.

I've never come across anything in the Qur'aan or Hadeeth that remotely refers to any such thing. So please share here any works on this matter or replies to questions in this regard.

There's numerous scientistic proof of a globe Earth but I thought I'd share some things I found and also keep it here for reference.

Firstly, let me list some basic beliefs of Flat Earthers (yes that's what they call themselves)

1. The Earth a flat disc like a plate

2. The south pole is ALL around the edge with an ice wall that keeps the water inside

3. The plate is covered in a dome like a plate serving cover

4. The sun and moon is only 3000 miles above the flat disc and circles it and that it doesn't actually set below the horizon

5. The sun setting is an optical illusion and that it's actually disappearing beyond the line of sight

6. That the sun and moon is 32 miles in diamter.

7. The sun and moon is a flat disc and some believe it's a globe but the Earth is flat

8. Every NASA photo and video is a lie

9. There are no satelites and they're just made with video editing

There's so much more crazy stuff like this lol and every single one has been blown to shreds with simple oversable experiments and scientific facts and basic physics.

Could you please explain these Quranic verse. Actually one Non Muslim asked me to explain these verses.
Quran 71:19 And Allah has made the earth for you as a carpet (spread out). 
Quran 78:6 Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse, What does it mean ?
Quran 15:19 And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance. 
Does it mean that Earth is flat? Tafsir Jalalayn says that EARTH is flat. But it is against Established Science.

Answer:

Praise be to Allah

Firstly: 

The scholars are unanimously agreed that the earth is round, but to human eyes it appears to be flat, because it is very big and its roundness or curvature cannot be seen at close distances. So the one who stands and looks sees it as flat, but when viewed as a whole, in reality it is round. 

See also the answers to questions no. 201530 and 118698 

Secondly: 

The verse (interpretation of the meaning) “And Allah has made for you the earth wide spread (an expanse)” [Nooh 71:19] indicates that it is spread out and shaped so that people can feel settled in it and be able to live and prosper in it. Ibn Katheer said: 

Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 8/247 

Similarly, the verse (interpretation of the meaning) “Have We not made the earth as a bed” [an-Naba’ 78:6] means that it is spread out and prepared for you and for your benefit, so that you can cultivate it, build dwellings in it and travel through it. 

Ibn Katheer said:

Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 8/307 

And the verse (interpretation of the meaning) “And the earth We spread out, and placed therein firm mountains, and caused to grow therein all kinds of things in due proportion” [al-Hijr 15:19] means We spread it out and placed firm mountains therein. This is like the verse in which Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And it is He Who spread out the earth, and placed therein firm mountains and rivers” [ar-Ra‘d 13:3]. 

There is no contradiction between saying that it is round and saying that it was spread out, because in fact in its totality it is round, but to the one who stands on it and looks at it, it appears flat, as it appears to everyone. 

Ar-Raazi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 

We would respond: Yes, because the earth, even though it is round, is an enormous sphere, and each little part of this enormous sphere, when it is looked at, appears to be flat. As that is the case, this will dispel what they mentioned of confusion. The evidence for that is the verse in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “And the mountains as pegs” [an-Naba’ 78:7]. He called them awtaad (pegs) even though these mountains may have large flat surfaces. And the same is true in this case.

SOURCE: What is Tawaf and Why?

"And He it is Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, each in an orbit floating." (Al-Anbiya, 21: 33)

This glorious verse refers to a scientific fact concerning the system of the universe. Scientific discoveries have proved that we live in a huge universe that depends on revolution.

The earth revolves round the sun once a year, the moon revolves around the earth once per lunar month, and the other planets of the solar system also revolve round the sun, each in its own orbit. Besides, most of these planets have moons that revolve around them, each, also in its own orbit. Astronomers have discovered more than 60 of these moons so far.

The solar system, likewise, orbits a center of our galaxy, the Milky Way. This galaxy consists of more than 130 billion stars. Galaxies, in turn, revolve round a center that only Almighty Allah knows.

The law of revolution applies also to atoms, the smallest units of elements that cannot be seen even by microscopes. An atom is composed of a nucleus whose diameter is less than a millionth of a millimeter. An atom is surrounded by electrons that move round the atom in an orbit.

Since all matter in the universe-whether solid, liquid, or gaseous consists of atoms, this means that the law of revolution applies to everything: stars, planets, moons, animals, plants, sand, seas, air, and so on.

This includes cells as well. The cytoplasm in the cell moves around the nucleus.
There is a common factor between the orbital movements of all the objects referred to above, this is, and their revolution is anti-clockwise.
