Apostate prophet explores higher imagery; the world is a giant tent?

In answer to the video "43 Scientific Mistakes in the Quran"

The imagery of creation in the Quran is compared to a bedouin tent (sama' as canopy, earth as carpet, mountains as pegs) because tents are folded up by beduoin dwellers as they move on to their next life and destination. Like a tent, the earth and heavens too will be folded up to usher in a new existence. There is nothing that depicts temporality better than the tent-life of a beduoin.

Also it is in such tents where a traveller seeks shelter, food and hospitality from the generous host. In this case, the host is the Almighty God. The imagery of a tent is well sumarized in

88:17-20"Will they not then consider the camels, how they are created? And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, And the mountains, how they are firmly fixed, And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse?"

The image starts with the high efficiency of the ultimate desert vehicule, the camel. It allows men to travel long distances, without themselves having to carry the burden of travelling by foot. The traveller is then drawn attention to what is above him (al-sama') which is raised much higher than the canopy of his tent, without any pillars he can see ie by Allah Himself. This stresses the awesome power needed to do such a thing 88:18,52:5,55:7. The analogy with a binaa'/structure 2:22,40:64 conveys the idea of a protective roof and whichever direction he looks, this sama' is protecting him.

The imagery of creation compared to a tent, is used in previous scriptures too when drawing attention to the merciful design of creation Ps104:2,Isa40:22,Job26:13. The Quran uses this metaphor in other instances, to convey the opposite image of hospitability, as in 3:112 where the "tent of shame" is pitched over the transgressors, or 18:29 where the fire of hell will envelop those who die in a state of unbelief

"like the walls and roof of a tent".

In sura al-mursalaat the picture painted of the sama' being rent asunder is clearly that of a tent in a strong storm. And again in

21:104,39:67"..and the whole earth shall be in His grip on the day of resurrection and the heavens rolled up in His right hand..".

This is a particularly beautiful analogy with the tent being folded up by the voyager when he leaves his destination just as the Almighty will fold up the universe to take man on a new journey to eternity 21:104. That image of the rolling up of the heavens is employed in Hebrew scriptures in the same sense, in the context of destruction of the wicked nations and ushering of a new order Isa34:4.

Now of course, those devoid of spiritual insight hardly appreciate these eloquent metaphors of creation meant at inspiring one's sense of gratitude and obedience to the merciful Creator. But even to those sceptics, the Quran leaves no chance at distorting its intent and paint it in an erroneous light.
