What’s
meant by lower heavens that are mentioned in the holy Qur'an? If we
contemplate the galaxies of the universe, we’ll realise that such
galaxies consist of billions of stars and such stars adorn the sky,
heavens. It could be said, therefore, that all the stars and galaxies
that we see around us is within the boundaries of the lower heavens
because Allah, the exalted says in the holy Qur’an:
“So
He completed them as seven firmaments in two Days, and He assigned to
each heaven its duty and command. And We adorned the lower heaven with
lights, and (provided it) with guard. Such is the Decree of (Him) the
Exalted in Might, Full of Knowledge.” Fussilat: 41:12
Lights
in the above verse means stars and as we know that stars are outside
the solar group and the closest star to us in planet earth is 4.3 light
years away i.e. all the stars we see adorn the first or lower heavens.
As for the other heavens, merely Allah, the omniscient knows their
boundaries.
