Question:
He asks: What is the meaning of the noble verse[Adh-Dhariyat 51:47]?
Answer:
The heavens, all seven heavens, He built with power. The term "ayd" here means power.[Sad 38:17] means "the One of Power." Ta'yid means strengthening. So, the term "ayd" here means power, not the plural of "hand." Yes.
He asks: What is the meaning of the noble verse
And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.
وَالسَّمَاءَ بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَAnswer:
The heavens, all seven heavens, He built with power. The term "ayd" here means power.
and remember Our servant, David, the possessor of strength
وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُودَ ذَا الْأَيْدِ
