“And the earth, moreover, hath He made egg shaped.” [Al-Qur’an 79:30]

In the early 11th century al-Biruni argued that the earth rotates about its axis instead of the the sun, moon, and stars rotating around the earth. Unlike the cases of some European astronomers hundreds of years later, this was not seen as a threat to religion and al-Biruni did not face persecution due to his scientific research.
