ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَـٰوَٰتٍ وَمِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزَّلُ ٱلْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عِلْمًۢا Qur’an At-Talaq (65:12)
All a hu alla th ee khalaqa sabAAa sam a w a tin wamina alar d i mithlahunna yatanazzalu alamru baynahunna litaAAlamoo anna All a ha AAal a kulli shayin qadeerun waanna All a ha qad a hat a bikulli shayin AAilm a n
GOD is He who has created seven heavens,18 and, like them, [the many aspects] of the earth. Through all of them flows down from on high, unceasingly, His [creative] will,19 so that you might come to know that God has the power to will anything, and that God encompasses all things with His knowledge.
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

See surah {2}, note [20].

Lit., "the command". The verbal form yatanazzalu implies recurrence and continuity; its combination with the noun al-amr reflects the concept of God's unceasing creative activity.

It is Allah Who has created seven heavens, and earths as many. His commandment descends through them, this is being explained to you, so that you may know that Allah has power over all things, and that Allah encompasses all things in His knowledge.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Allah is the One Who created seven heavens 'in layers', and likewise for the earth. The 'divine' command descends between them so you may know that Allah is Most Capable of everything and that Allah certainly encompasses all things in 'His' knowledge.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Allah it is who hath created seven heavens, and of the earth the like thereof. The commandment cometh down among them slowly, that ye may know that Allah is Able to do all things, and that Allah surroundeth all things in knowledge.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
Allah is He Who created seven Firmaments and of the earth a similar number. Through the midst of them (all) descends His Command: that ye may know that Allah has power over all things and that Allah comprehends all things in (His) Knowledge. 5526 5527 5528
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

"Seven Firmaments." (Cf. ii. 29; xvii. 44; xxiii- 86; and xli. 12.)

Literally: they are seven in number, each one separate from the other.

But in all spheres of life and Creation, whatever conception we are able to form of them, it is certain that the Command or Law of Allah runs through them all, for His knowledge and power extend through all things.
