Qur'aanic Verse 37:7:
Transliteration:
7. Wahifthan min kulli shaytanin maridin
Translation:
7. And We have made it (the sky of this world) a safeguard against every
defiant devil.3
Study Note:
3. Verse 2:29 speaks of seven heavens (skies). And Verse 67:3 tells us that
these seven heavens are one above another. The sky that we see is the sky of
this world. We cannot see the other six skies above this sky. Those six skies
are till now beyond human (scientific) knowledge. Man boasts of technological
advances that have enabled him to travel into space and even land on the moon.
The limited knowledge that Allah Almighty has released to him has made man so
proud that he has now forgotten his Creator. Some so-called scientists have
gone to the extent of denying His existence altogether. Darwin had proposed his
theory of evolution to counter the belief in Creation. Darwin’s modern
counterparts like Stephen Hawkins see no need for God in running the universe. Scientist
aware of the marvels of Nature ought to be the foremost in recognizing the
Almighty Power behind the perfect Creation all around us. And yet, under the
satanic influence, they foolishly deny that very Power that gave them their
intelligence. Such defiant devils, whether in human form or as jinns, shall ever
be confined to the limits of ‘the sky of the world’ and shall never be able to
go to the skies beyond to unearth the secrets of Creation.
Above is an extract from yet-to-be-published Qur'aanic Studies Manzil VI.
