Notice that in the verses 17:44 and 23:86 the order of the Arabic words is different. They literally say "heavens seven". | Notice that in the verses 17:44 and 23:86 the order of the Arabic words is different. They literally say "heavens seven". | ||
We can get 7 occurrences if we count only the occurrences where the seven heavens are explicitly called seven "heavens" (samawat, سَمَٰوَٰتٍ) and not "paths" or "strong ones". | We can get 7 occurrences of the phrase "seven heavens" if we count only the occurrences where the seven heavens are explicitly called seven "heavens" (samawat, سَمَٰوَٰتٍ) and not "paths" or "strong ones". Also we have to include 2 cases, where the phrase is in backwards order, literally "heavens seven". | ||
But probably a more important question than "what is the word count" is: are there 7 heavens in reality? And when we consider that they are one above the other (verse 67:3) and stars are in the lowest heaven (41:12), that means our universe would be the lowest heaven. We can see only this universe, so do we really see all the 7 heavens as the verse 71:15 claims we should? | |||
