Heavens Without Pillars
If the sky here refers to atmosphere. Then how come God says that the heavens are adorned by stars? There surely are no stars in the atmosphere. In fact in Fussilat God says that stars are in the lowest/nearest “samaa”. It seems the picture is like that of a physical sky which is up and above us and which is adorned by stars and doesn’t fall off because apparently everything falls. The Quran seems to find it a miracle that a physical sky is not falling and that too without any pillars.
