The Seven Heavens in the Qur’an: A Proposed Model

Abstract

There are nine verses in the Qur’an that describe the creation of Seven Heavens. These Seven Heavens are of such grandeur that puts them in an almost equal footing with The Great Throne. The current models of these Seven Heavens are reviewed and found to be unsatisfactory. The characteristics of these Seven Heavens are inferred from the verses that describe them, and a new model is proposed.
