In His saying, the Exalted: "And what is between them..." does this include what is between the seventh heaven and the earth, or what is between the first heaven and the earth?

The questioner : In His saying, the Exalted: does this include what is between the heaven and the earth, or what is between the first heaven and the earth?

The Shaykh : This is the apparent meaning: what is between the lowest heaven and the earth.

The questioner : Then what about the angels in the other heavens?

The Shaykh : No, the angels of the heavens are included in the heavens; they are not included in what is between them; they are included in the heavens.
