Rather, the Qur\u2019an states this  whole universe is a single heaven, thus stating a fact. We are still  understanding this single heaven. Thus there are still further 6 heavens  or universes in addition to this. <\/p>\n<div>A  lot of people focus on the statements of the Qur\u2019an related to science.  They do not realise that it is not a book of science. The scientific  facts have been stated as supporting arguments. The Qur\u2019an actually  comments on Allah\u2019s attributes and their material evidence and uses  scientific facts as a proof. And these statements are flawless.<\/div>\n<div>Science  has proved what the Qur\u2019an has stated. For example the phrase  &#8220;mountains of clouds&#8221; has been used in the Qur\u2019an. Clouds, from earth  appear flat. Only after the advent of air travel, we appreciated the  mountainous morphology of the clouds. Again, stating these scientific  facts is not the main aim of the Qur\u2019an.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>This question was  answered by Mr Ghamidi in Deen-o-Danish, an online TV session hosted by  Dr Muneer Ahmad aired on Dunay TV. The text has been rendered into  English by Mr Dhu al-Nurain.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Javed Ahmad Ghamidi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-02-03<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6293\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And what about the seven heavens stated in the Qur\u2019an?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14147,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1389],"tags":[1784,1378,1380],"class_list":["post-6293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-quranic-exegesis","tag-heaven","tag-jannah","tag-paradise"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
