In earlier scriptures
- Isaiah 40:22parallelCreation & cosmology
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
Note
הַיֹּשֵׁב֙ עַל־ח֣וּג הָאָ֔רֶץ וְיֹשְׁבֶ֖יהָ כַּחֲגָבִ֑ים הַנּוֹטֶ֤ה כַדֹּק֙ שָׁמַ֔יִם וַיִּמְתָּחֵ֥ם כָּאֹ֖הֶל לָשָֽׁבֶת׃
Shared image of spreading/stretching the heaven: 'stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain... as a tent' (Isaiah 40:22) ↔ 'the heaven We built with might, and We are expanding it' (Q 51:47). (Interpretation: a shared textual image — NOT a 'scientific miracle/proof' claim.)
