The Uses of the Term "Sky" in the Noble Qur'an

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: When rain is mentioned, does "sky" refer to the clouds or the lowest heaven? And what is meant by the term "the lowest heaven"?

Answer:
It is used in two senses: one meaning the sky that is built up, the sky that is built up in seven layers; and the other meaning whatever is high and elevated, whatever is high and elevated, such as the canopy of the sky, such as the clouds deployed between the sky and the earth, and "We sent down water from the sky" means from the clouds, because it is high and is called the sky, and everything that is high and elevated is called the sky. Yes.
