    📖 Tafseer (Commentary) of Surah Al-Ghashiyah (88:18)

    🔹 And do they not look at the sky—how it is raised high?

    ➡️ This verse directs attention to one of the great signs of (اللَّهُ) Allah’s power—the vast sky, elevated without any visible pillars.

    1️⃣ The Height and Structure of the Sky

    ✅ Suspended Without Pillars:

    • The sky stands high without any visible support, a clear sign of Allah’s divine power.
    • No force is visibly holding it in place, yet it remains stable.

    ✅ Perfect System Despite Rapid Movements:

    • Millions of stars and planets move at great speeds, yet they do not collide.
    • Similarly, in Jannah, elevated couches will move, but nothing will fall or be disturbed.

    ✅ Sunlight, Rain, and Air—A Perfect Balance:

    • Rain descends from the sky, nourishing the earth.
    • The sun provides warmth in perfect measure for life to thrive.
    • Air circulates in a controlled system, ensuring balance in nature.

    2️⃣ Lessons from the Sky

    📖 Just as the sky is raised high, we must elevate our faith.

    🔹 No one can physically reach the sky, just as no one can attain the status of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
    🔹 Stars guide travelers, just as the Sahabah 🌟 guide the believers.
    🔹 Blessings descend from the sky, just as the spiritual blessings of Madinah enrich the hearts of believers.

    3️⃣ Scientific Discoveries About the Sky

    ✅ Gravitational Balance in the Universe:

    • Celestial bodies are held in perfect positions by gravitational forces.

    ✅ The Protective Ozone Layer:

    • The upper layer of the sky shields Earth from harmful ultraviolet rays.

    ✅ Atmospheric Layers and Their Functions:

    • The atmosphere is divided into layers that regulate temperature, provide oxygen, and protect Earth from space debris.
