أَمِنتُم مَّن فِي السَّمَاءِ أَن يَخْسِفَ بِكُمُ الْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَمُورُ
67:16 Mann fi Samâ’مَّن فِي السَّمَاءِ is usually translated as the One Who is in the heaven. This translation is misleading, as it will limit Allâh to the heaven only. It will be contrary to the statement “Allâh encompasses everything” (41:54 ). Samâ’السَّمَاءِ is not heaven, but something that is above. Allâh is above all, so the correct rendering should be “The One Who is above all with all His Attributes”.
