With descriptive, analysis and comparative methods, the researcher produced three important conclusions. Firstly, the two scriptures agreed that the phenomenon of day and night is caused by sunlight. Rationally this phenomenon will not happen except by the globe earth. Secondly, in the perspective of Islam, it is not mentioned clearly about the shape of the earth but differs in the perspective of Hinduism which mentioned it clearly. This matter causes different views and interpretations.
