The Holy Quran 67:3 — Surah Al-Mulk

Arabic text

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَـٰوَٰتٍ طِبَاقًا ۖ مَّا تَرَىٰ فِى خَلْقِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مِن تَفَـٰوُتٍ ۖ فَٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَىٰ مِن فُطُورٍ

Translation

He has created the seven heavens in layers. You will not see any inconsistency (defect, fault) in Allaah's creation. Look again. Do you see any cracks (in the sky)?

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Seven heavens, one above another: it has come in the hadith that above one heaven is a second heaven, above the second a third, and in this way seven heavens are one above another, and from each heaven to the next is a distance of five hundred years' journey.
