O company of jinn and mankind, if you are able to pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, then passيَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَن تَنفُذُوا مِنْ أَقْطَارِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَانفُذُوا
[Ar-Rahman 55:33]
, he asks: Does this verse indicate anything about a human ascending to the lowest heaven or ascending to the moon?

They were amazed by their industry and skill and assumed they were capable of reaching the sky. This is part of the promotion to the people. This is part of the promotion to the people. The sky is high and far away, and they do not reach it, and it is guarded and protected. What is the sky? Is it easy for them to reach it? Yes.
