: To Him belongs what is in the heavens and on earth, and all between them, and all beneath the soil.(20:6)


 Can anyone explain what Allah meant by ''and all between them'' ?

  Stars, planets, suns, moons, atmosphere, clouds everything is within the boundary of the lowest heaven not in between the earth and the heaven . Moreover earth itself is within the lowest Heaven. So what's the meaning of this verse.


Please help.

Assalamualykum


 Brother Isa, the site which you linked above didn't provide any strong reference from any authentic sources in favor of their claim.

 Brother for time being you must refrain yourself from visiting these deviant sites. At first you need to know Islam from A to Z and then you can visit these sites. Because then you will automatically be able to refute their allegations. I also used to do the same thing. But now I have realized that without having sufficient knowledge about Islam visiting such sites might prove to be extremely dangerous. So I urge you to visit the Islamic sites and read Islamic books in order to become a strong Imandar.

 Please visit the following site:

 You will get hundreds of authentic books on different aspects of Islam on the above site. And for ''Rebuttals" please visit the rebuttal section of this site :

 Brother Osama, the problem is the verse says "Sky" not "Star".

 First of all it is talking about the Day Of Judgement .So it might be implying the boundary of the lowest Heaven or our Atmosphere. On that day there might arose some turbulence in our Atmosphere which might give it a rose colored paint just like Jupiter.


   

   

   


 Jupiter's atmosphere resembles the above description of the Quran. May be on the Final Hour our atmosphere might take the same form. Allah knows the best.

  '' It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.''(36:40)


 Okay, why Quran says ''It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon...''? Sun can't only overtake moon but also Earth and other planets. Does it mean that sun and moon's orbit is same? And what's the meaning of night and day orbit? Both take place on Earth. They don't have any orbit.


 In some translations I find ''''....but each, in an orbit, is swimming.....'' while in some I find, ''...but each travelling in its own orbit.....''. Which one is correct?

Assalamualykum.

 Brother Osama please verify whether the sayings of the above article is true or false. It is really confusing me as I don't have sufficient knowledge in Arabic.

Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and placed therein a [burning] lamp...

 Brother, is the above verse differentiating sun from other stars and branding it as the only burning lamp? As I have told you earlier there are hundreds of stars more brighter  and bigger than our sun. And can you please explain me in detail the verses where Quran says Stars emit their own light just like the Sun?  And is there any verse describing multiplicity of the Moon?

 Thanks for clearing up 80% of my confusion.

Assalamualykum.

 "We have built above you seven strong (heavens) and placed a blazing lamp.''Sura 78, verses 12-13

Brother, what's the meaning of the above verse? Does it say ,Sun is above the Seven heavens and it is a single entity? Well It's not possible. because every star and planet is in the lowest heaven and according to Nasa there are hundreds of sun like stars and some are even more brighter and larger than our Sun.


sura 71, 15-16:
"Did you see how God created seven heavens one above an other and made the moon a light therein and made the sun a lamp?"


 And in the above verse, is Quran  saying that there is only one moon and one sun in the Heavens?

 Some like to claim that Quran says stars are in the lowest Heaven while the Sun and Moon are above the Seven heavens. How should we answer them?

They quote the following verses to support their claim:


"We have built above you seven strong (heavens) and placed a blazing lamp.''Sura 78, verses 12-13

-sura 71, 15-16:
"Did you see how God created seven heavens one above an other and made the moon a light therein and made the sun a lamp?"

And why Does Allah always say earth and the heavens? By this does it mean that Earth is just as large as heaven?Is there any verse saying Earth, Sun , Moon and Stars are in the lowest heaven? And does Quran say anything about multiplicity of Sun and Moon?
