Almolk V.3 Meanings of Tebaqan

[ahmed frihy]

Assalamo alikom
In Surat Tabarak " Almoulk ", Allah swt said
الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا مَا تَرَى فِي خَلْقِ الرَّحْمَنِ مِنْ تَفَاوُتٍ فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَى مِنْ فُطُورٍ (3ا
{who created seven skies Tebaqan......etc}
1-First meaning for tebaqan is on the top of each other
2-Second meaning is folded on the top of each other
This opinion is given by Alzagag r.a
3-Grammaticaly tebaqan can indicate that Allah swt created seven skies each has layers upon layers or it can also means equivalent to each other
4-In space Geometry Tebaqan means can be folded inside each other and does not mean they are equal in surface area , that in turn means each sky can have its own movements and dimensions separate from each other
Allah All knowing
