Earth is a sphere in the Quran: direct mentioning.

RE: Earth is a sphere in the Quran: direct mentioning.
But the verse under discussion isn't a geography lesson, but a political one.  The phrase 'decrease it from its borders' doesn't refer to the horizon, but to the diminishment of the land under control of non-believers.

But I agree that it doesn't refer to a disc - there's no mention of the Elephants or the Turtle.
