Regarding the Quranic verse: “And the heaven He has raised high, and has set up a Balance” (Quran 55:7), Allah (SWT) created the earth as a sphere with the sun heating the equatorial regions more than the polar regions. As a consequence, some regions of the planet are abundant in energy and other regions are deficient in energy. This divine commandment is commonly known by physicists as the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
