Heaven, Heaven Reloaded, Hell
-
Peace.
Just been wondering about the levels of heaven. I've heard that there are seven heavens/seven levels to heaven, and some verses have been translated to show this, but reading the first 44 verses of chapter 56 makes it clear that there is heaven, heaven reloaded, and then hell. Has anyone got any evidence of more heavens or levels of heaven.
Peace.

Thanks for direting me to the sites.
However, I am still not satisfied, becuase the following verses make it clear that there are two heavens and a hell
056.007
YUSUFALI And ye shall be sorted out into three classes.
PICKTHAL And ye will be three kinds
SHAKIR And you shall be three sorts.
KHALIFA You will be stratified into three kinds.056.008
YUSUFALI Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand?
PICKTHAL (First) those on the right hand; what of those on the right hand?
SHAKIR Then (as to) the companions of the right hand; how happy are the companions of the right hand!
KHALIFA Those who deserved bliss will be in bliss.056.009
YUSUFALI And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand?
PICKTHAL And (then) those on the left hand; what of those on the left hand?
SHAKIR And (as to) the companions of the left hand; how wretched are the companions of the left hand!
KHALIFA Those who deserved misery will be in misery.056.010
YUSUFALI And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter).
PICKTHAL And the foremost in the race, the foremost in the race
SHAKIR And the foremost are the foremost,
KHALIFA Then there is the elite of the elite.So what I am thinking is that this concept of seven heavens is not actually seven heavens but seven skies. It all boild down to using thedefinitions of the word 'heaven' too loosely. Perhaps looking at it on a one word-one definition basis will show whats going on.

Peace Natu
Could those foremost be those who have attained and those on the right, could they be those who are on their way to attaining? For example, could these two both be similar to the distinctions between a muslim and mumin ? I currently think so.
Your thoughts?

Peace be upon you,
The God states there are 7 skies, not 7 "gardens".
The statements about left hand, right hand, then the best is about obtaining BALANCE, we are a balanced people.
