What are the seven earths about which Allah said

The questioner : What are the seven earths about which Allah the Exalted said: And another says that it is well known from the texts of the Shari'ah that the seven heavens are layers. So are the earths layers or continents? Since, according to our weak understanding, we have not found an explicit text in this matter, which some of the exegetes pass over lightly. May Allah reward you with the best reward.

The Shaykh : Yes, first, I will discuss with the brother his statement that some of the exegetes pass over this matter lightly. I say that passing over lightly is a heavy pass. The generous one gives to you until you are satisfied and until you are full. The generous one is not the one who passes by you swiftly. Unless we say that the generous one, if he passes by you as a guest, is light in presence, eats little, and stays a short time. And the stingy one, if he passes by you as a guest, burdens you with eating and burdens you with the duration. So it has every meaning one wants. And this phrase “passing over lightly” is always used by people, so I do not know if this is correct or not. As for the earths, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that they are layers, that they are layers. He said in what is authentic from him: And this indicates that they are matching earths, and that the one on the upper earth, which is our earth on which we are, has [a connection] to the lower seventh earth. As for them being the continents, that is not correct, because all the continents are on the surface of the earth, so they are all on the upper earth. Yes.
