        abstract = {A conspiracy theory about the shape of the flat earth still exists in today?s world. The conspiracy is still widely found on various social media platforms. The adherents of these conspirators often use the holy book as the basis of their arguments, both the Qur'an and the Bible. Some verses of the Qur'an that are often used as a reference for their arguments are verses in which the words fir{\=a}sy, mih{\=a}d, mahd, bis{\=a}{\d t}, and su{\d t}i{\d h}at are included. These words have a translation of "expanse" which is often interpreted as a clue to the shape of the flat earth. In this case, further studies are needed on the meaning of these words through the perspective of scientific interpretation.
This study aims to find out how the words fir{\=a}sy, mih{\=a}d, bis{\=a}{\d t}, and su{\d t}i{\d h}at are interpreted from the perspective of scientific interpretation, as well as to find out whether or not the word is related to the shape of the earth. This research is qualitative research using the library research method. The primary data sources in this study are four books of ilm{\=i} tafsir, namely Tafsir al-Kab{\=i}r by Fakhruddin ar-R{\=a}zi (1210 AD), al-Jaw{\=a}hir f{\=i} Tafs{\=i}r al-Qur'{\=a}n al-Kar{\=i}m by {\d T}an{\d t}{\=a}wi Jauhar{\=i} (1940 AD) and Tafsir Ilmi: Perspective of the Qur'an and Science by the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia. In addition to the four primary data sources, this study also uses other sources such as books, books, journals, articles, and other scientific works that are still related to the research.
The results of this study are that the words fir{\=a}sy, mih{\=a}d, bis{\=a}{\d t}, and su{\d t}i{\d h}at do not speak in the context of the shape of the earth, but show that this earth is a place suitable for humans to live in. These verses do not talk about the context of the earth's form, but the use of this earth as a place for humans to live with existing facilities. Meanwhile, the verse that hints at the earth's shape is explained in another verse of the Qur'an. There are pros and cons regarding research that clashes between the holy verses of the Qur'an and scientific facts because it is as if the Qur'an is just an instrument of legitimacy to justify a scientific theory, in this case, the shape of the earth. Therefore, such research would be better if it focused more on the study of interpretation, not on the truth between the Quran and scientific facts.}
