The Qur'an talks much more than 7 times about the seven heavens if we don't require both the words "seven" and "heavens" to be in the verse. There are dozens of verses with the plural word "heavens", which just don't have the word "seven" in them, like this one: | The Qur'an talks much more than 7 times about the seven heavens if we don't require both the words "seven" and "heavens" to be together in the verse.

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". So we could consider this word count to be valid. But is this really a miracle? | 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".

A more important question 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? | |||
