تَسۡمَعُ

they will hear

Variant Reading

تُسْمَعُ

is heard

The verb changes from the active 'tasma'u' to the passive 'tusma'u'. As a grammatical consequence, the word 'laghiyah' (frivolous talk) changes from the accusative object (laghiyatan) to the nominative subject (laghiyatun).

وَإِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيۡفَ رُفِعَتۡ

and at the sky, how it was raised up,

Historical Error
The verse describes the sky as being 'raised up' above the ground, reflecting an ancient cosmological view of the sky as a physical canopy or dome. This is a scientific error, as the sky is an optical phenomenon created by the atmosphere, not a solid structure to be hoisted.
19

وَإِلَى ٱلۡجِبَالِ كَيۡفَ نُصِبَتۡ

and at the mountains, how they were constructed,

Historical Error
The verse and its tafsir state that mountains were erected and 'firmly affixed so that the earth does not sway with its dwellers'. This is a verifiable scientific blunder, as mountains are the result of tectonic plate collisions and do not act as pegs or weights to stabilize the earth's movement.
20

وَإِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَيۡفَ سُطِحَتۡ

and at the earth, how it was spread flat?

Historical Error
The verse questions how the earth was 'spread flat' (or 'outspread'), which the tafsir confirms means it has been 'spread out, extended and made smooth'. This is a clear scientific error that promotes a flat-earth worldview rather than recognizing the planet's spherical shape.
