Is the sky above us the lowest heaven?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it true that the sky above us is not the lowest heaven, because the distance between the sky and the earth is five hundred years, so we cannot see it?
Answer:
The sky above us is the sky. Who says what it is? It is above us, but it is far away. It is above us, but it is far. What we see are the stars; we see the stars, the sun, and the moon, and they are in the sky. Yes.
