==Tafsir At-Tabari==
The most respected sunni tafsir is probably that of At-Tabari. Unfortunately, it was not translated into English yet. Here is just his interpretation of the Nun in the verse 68:1.

Another very respected tafsir of Al-Qurtubi is of the same opinion:

<Nun> - the whale (الحوت), which is (الذي) under (تحت) Earth (الأرض) seventh (السابعة).

In Islam there are seven Earth'''s''', just like seven heavens:
{{Quote|{{Quran|65|12}}|Allah is He Who created seven heavens, and of the earth the like of them}}
