Hence, scientists have set seven different layers of the Earth\u2019s atmosphere. Moreover, the number \u201c7\u201d\u00a0has many indications in the Quran and in the prophet\u2019s sayings (peace be upon him).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1480 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/kaheel7.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/atmosphere-7-layers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/atmosphere-7-layers.jpg 650w, https:\/\/kaheel7.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/atmosphere-7-layers-300x235.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Though, some scientists agree that these layers are exactly the same as the seven skies the Quran has mentioned about.

Such is the Decree of Him, the All Mighty, the All- Knower\u201d<\/span>\u00a0[Fussilat: 12]. Lamps refer to the stars which, as we know, are located external to the earth\u2019s atmosphere and even external to our solar system.
