Do They Not Look at the Sky?
أَفَلَمۡ يَنظُرُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَوۡقَهُمۡ كَيۡفَ بَنَيۡنَٰهَا وَزَيَّنَّـٰهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُوجࣲ ٦
Have they not then observed the sky above them, how We have constructed it and beautified it, and how there are no rifts therein.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Have they not looked at the heaven above them, how We built and adorned it, with no rifts?
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this heaven is the lower sky, appearing to our eyes with the bodies and dimensions we can see above our horizon.
Reflect
Look at the sky tonight and reflect on its order.
