Commentary 67:3 Sab‘aسَبْعَ – seven, in the sense of many (cf. 65:12). Tibâqâ طِبَاقًا – one over the other, similar to the rolls of the scrolls of a book (cf. 21:104).…
لَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا ۖ مَّا تَرَىٰ فِي خَلْقِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ مِن تَفَاوُتٍ ۖ فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَىٰ مِن فُطُورٍ
67:3 Sab‘aسَبْعَ – seven, in the sense of many (cf. 65:12). Tibâqâ طِبَاقًا – one over the other, similar to the rolls of the scrolls of a book (cf. 21:104). Allâh’s creation is wonderful indeed. We see how vast, varied and orderly are hundreds of millions of systems of which our solar system and our cosmos are just one. They are so wisely arranged and distributed in relation to one another that there runs a beautiful order and harmony in them and no incongruity or flaw is visible there. It all implies that the flawless creation of the universe and the beautiful order that pervades the cosmos are proofs of His existence and that He has created the human being to serve a sublime purpose and to achieve a sublime goal. It also signifies that all the basic requirements of a human beings material life depend upon the heavens, as for example, no physical life can exist without water or sunlight from the heaven, and so the spiritual life needs for its sustenance the heavenly water of Divine Revelation.
