In analysing of the Signs of His Existence, Allah s.w.t. does not want us to be man-centred in our outlook.

Allah, the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe invites man to observe yet His other greater Signs in the whole of creation.

Man is just a small part of the whole creation

* * In the Arabic usage, - as in other Semitic languages as well, the number "seven"' is often synonymous with "several" (see Lisanul Arab). The term "sama' " ("heaven" or "sky”) is applied to anything that is spread like a canopy above any other thing. Thus, the visible skies which stretch like a vault above the earth and form, as it were, its canopy, are called "sama' ": and this is the primary meaning of this term in the Qur’an in a wider sense, it has the connotation of "cosmic system". Thus, taken together with the accepted linguistic definition, "seven heavens" denotes the multiplicity of cosmic system.

We are told that the size of the universe is not static but expanding every moment in all directions. So rapid is this expansion that according to an estimate by Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington (1882-1944), noted British physicist and astronomer, every 1300 million years, all the distances in this universe are doubled.

This estimation of the vastness of the universe is based on Einstein's theory of relativity. But this is just a mathematician's guess. The truth is man has yet to comprehend the vastness of the universe.
