In verse 6 of Surah Ash-Shams, there is an oath by the earth and its expander, with the expression "wal-arda wama tahaha" (by the earth and its expanse).

In verses 92 of Surah Al-An'am and 7 of Surah Ash-Shura, there is an interpretation of "Umm al-Qura" (Mother of Cities) referring to Mecca. Some commentators have suggested that in the beginning, water covered all the land, and only the place of the Kaaba on a dry hill remained. This dryness gradually emerged from around the Kaaba until it expanded to its current size.(20)( Ṭūsī, Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-. ''Al-Tibyān fī tafsīr al-Qurʾān''.vol4.p201,, Baghawī, Ḥusayn b.
