[And] who created seven heavens in layers. You do not see in the creation of the Most Merciful any inconsistency. So return [your] vision [to the sky]; do you see any breaks?

Who created seven heavens in layers one above the other without any contact between them. You do not see in the Compassionate One’s creation of these or of other things any irregularity any disparity or discordance. Then cast your eyes again turn them toward the heaven Do you see in it any fissure? any cracks or ruptures?
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Who hath created seven heavens in harmony) each one securely resting above the other, like a dome whose extremities are cemented with each other. (Thou) O Muhammad (canst see no fault) no crookedness (in the Beneficent One's creation) in the creation of the heavens; (then look again) at the sky: (Canst thou see any rifts) cracks, cleaves, defects or faults?
