Allah created life and death that He may test you in this life

                                                                                         

In the Noble Quran, Allah is asking mankind some important questions.
It seems compulsory for the serious one who is looking for the truth to have a look at those questions and if possible to answer them.
Allah' questions are many. In this series, these questions are chosen randomly.
-----------------------
The question in this article is to all the disbelievers:
Do you see in Allah' Creation any disparity or discordance
Allah Has Created seven heavens in layers, one above the other
Do you see, in them any flaw?
You do not see in the Compassionate One’s creation, of these or of other things, any irregularity, any disparity or discordance.
Then cast your eyes again, turn them toward the heaven: Do you see, in it, any fissure? Any cracks or ruptures?

Allah created seven heavens in layers, one above the other. You do not see in Allah', the Compassionate One’s, creation, of these or of other things, any irregularity, any disparity or discordance. Then cast your eyes again, turn them toward the heaven: Do you see, in it, any fissure? any cracks or ruptures?

Then cast your eyes yet again, once and then twice, and your sight will return to you humbled, abject on account of it not perceiving any fissure, and wearied, unable to see any fissure or any defect.
