Loosing Your Perspective of Life?

These are really powerful images don’t you think? When I look at this its hard not to feel humbled, Allah ’s creation is just immense – and yet we become arrogant!

It is reported on the authority of Al-’Abbas (ra) that Allah ’s Messenger (saw) said:

“Do you know what the distance between the heaven and the earth is?” We said: “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said: “The distance between them is five hundred years and the distance between one heaven and the next is five hundred years and the dimension of each heaven would take five hundred years to travel and there is a sea between the seventh heaven and the `Arsh which has between its lowest and highest ends the distance equvalent to that between the heavens and the earth. And Allah , Most High, is above that and nothing is withheld from Him of the deeds of the sons of Adam.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood and others)

Ad-Dahhak said that Ibn Abbas said:

“If the seven heavens and the seven earths were flattened and laid side by side, they would add up to the size of a ring in a desert compared to the Kursi.”

[Ibn Abi Hatim 3:981]
