Clarification that the heavens have no pillars

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The exegetes differed regarding Surat al-Ra'd, where Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) raised the heavens without pillars,So some said: We do not see them,And some said: They were raised without pillars only, so what is your opinion?The Shaykh: Read the verse.

The questioner:-

It is Allah who erected the heavens without pillars that you [can] see

اللَّهُ الَّذِي رَفَعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا

[al-Ra'd: 2] The Shaykh: Yes, the exegetes differed,Is his saying: (You see them) is a new sentence or is it a description of the pillars,Meaning: without visible pillars, and the apparent meaning is that they have no pillars,And that the meaning is: Allah who raised the heavens without pillars as you see them, they have no pillars,And Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said:

And He restrains the sky from falling upon the earth, unless by His permission

وَيُمْسِكُ السَّمَاءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ

[al-Hajj: 65] and He did not mention pillars supporting them, so the correct view is that the heavens are raised by the power of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
