He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth, and then leveled up to the heaven, so that it is seven heavens, and He is Knowing of all things.
The scientific explanation and the scientific miracle of his words:
He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth, and then He was leveled to the sky, and He is the Knower of all things.
Introduction:
In this verse, the Qur'an combines two time-distant stages in creation: the first about the preparation of the Earth, and the second about the creation and organization of the atmosphere/heaven, an arrangement that has been proven by modern astronomy.
The scientific miracle in the first part (formation / harness of the earth) is scientifically clear, while the second part (the meaning of the heavens) is divided into two parts:
* A clear division of its relationship with the earth's atmosphere on the model: "And the moon made therein a light" (Noah: 16) - explained by the orbits of nearby objects, saying: "We adorned the lower heaven with lamps and keepers" (Chapter: 12) - Linked to the atmosphere and stars.
Since the great cosmic structures (galactic and galaxy clusters) existed billions of years before the Earth, this is scientifically proven. When the Qur’an says (and then settled to the sky as an exponent), it is not about the first creation of the universe, but about a specialized later stage.
The exact scientific detail of the cosmic chronological order (according to the latest research 2023):
13.8 billion years: The Big Bang
13.4 billion years: the first galaxies (monitored by James Webb 2022)
4.57 billion years: Earth formed
4.4 billion years: Beginning of the formation of the primordial atmosphere
The history of cosmic events shows that the verse is not a cosmic chronological order, but rather systematically talks about the creation of the earth and its preparation for habitation, and then the adaptation of its own celestial system (atmosphere > nearby orbits), and this is an illustration and understanding (then) of the verse.
Scientific references:
The most recent studies of galaxy formation (Nature, July 2023)
Early Atmosphere Research (Science Advances, 2022)
Data from the James Webb Telescope on the first galaxies (NASA, 2023)
Abstract: The universe existed first, but the "settlement of the seven heavens" in the verse concerns the earth-solar system, and this does not contradict science but rather complements our understanding of the verse in its proper context.
In general we can classify the relevant verses as follows:
1. Verses about the creation of the seven heavens with the earth and verses linking the seven heavens with the nearby cosmic system (atmosphere and orbits)
These verses mention the seven heavens combined with the creation or creation of the earth, often in the form of a statement of divine power, and give indications that the "lower heavens" are associated with phenomena such as stars, meteors, or conservation:
Cows: 29
He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth, and then He ascended to heaven, so that they are seven heavens, and He is Knowing of all things.
Separated: 12
And He made them seven heavens in two days, and inspired in every heaven its command; and We adorned the lower heaven with lamps, and preserved that is the decree of the All-mighty, all-knowing.
* Noah: 15-16
Have you not seen how God created seven heavens and made the moon in them a light and made the sun a lamp?
King: 3-5
He who created the seven heavens in accordance with what you see in the creation of the All-Merciful, and We have adorned the lower heaven with lamps and made it a stone for the devils.
Saffat: 6
“Verily, We have adorned the lower heaven with the adornment of the planets, and in order to guard against every evildoer, they do not listen to the Supreme Council, and they are thrown from every side, 8 perverse ones, and for them is a torment, 9 except he who snatches the snatch, and a piercing flame follows him.”
2. Two-dimensional verses / verses that can be interpreted scientific or occult
Divorce: 12
“God created seven heavens, and the like of them in earth; His command descends among them…” The words “and the like of them in earth; His command descends among them…” may relate to Earth’s inner layers—seven, according to the scientific references cited—or to other planets throughout the universe.
News: 12
"And We built above you seven strong."
3. Verses referring to the seven heavens in the context of the pure unseen/ do not present scientifically testable data now, but this does not mean that they do not carry future signals.
* Size: 44
"The seven heavens and the earth and all that is in them glorify Him."
* The Believers: 86
Say, `Who is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Lord of the Great Throne?'
