Peace be upon you, 262 is telling us don't get caught up in TITLES, it is about your ACTIONS. If you make a partner to the One God, then yo are not thinking HOLISTICALLY, you do not see the WHOLE picture so you actions are fragmented. For example, when you don't think HOLISTICLLY, you seperate "religion" from Psychology, science from "religion", philosophy from Psychology, etc. Or you will say "God bless America" yet forget about your brothers and sisters everywhere else. When you are a TRUE monotheist, you realize that ALL is ONE. We are ALL interconnected with nature and each other. When you allow another to starve it is like letting your own self starve or your own child, that is how we should see things. I am getting off topic, Yes, 262 is teling us not to fall into the trap of TITLES. But many of us are stuck in TITLES, therefore we are unable to see what the words "Allah", "Quran", "Muhammad", "Ahmad", etc really imply. Many want to form another sect as the ones in the past instead of seeing the TRUTH as being HOLISTIC.

Peace Riz Samawatin is used for sky as far as I understand. Sky and and universe. Heavens as in universe/space/sky. Thank you for the clarification. Afterlife heaven is janaa/janaatin, meaning garden(s). As Idolfree1 pointed out in the birth of Isa, the garden is not confined to the afterlife, Mary attained this garden after giving birth to Isa. And plus, I don't see why there would be levels of heaven. I can understand levels in hell, but not for heaven. Unless someone could point out a verse in the Quran that says there are layers in heaven, I don't think or believe heaven is seperated in such a manner. I understand that drop by drop seeds are eventually nurtured into trees, but the accumulation of all the drops at one instance would drown it instantly, that is to say it would bear more than it could burden. Everything around us grows in stages and not all at once. Reflect on these verses. He is the One who shows you His signs, and He sends down to you provisions from the sky. But none care to remember except those who repent. Therefore, call on God while being pure to His system, even if the rejecters dislike it. Possessor of the highest ranks, the owner of the Throne. He sends the Angels with His command upon whom He wills from among His servants, that he may warn of the Day of Summoning. (4013-15) These are the true believers; they will have grades with their Lord and a forgiveness and a generous provision. (84) Such messengers, We have preferred some over others; some of them talked to God, and He raised some of them in rank (2253) And He is the One who made you inheritors on earth, and He raised some of you over others in grades, to test you with what He had given you. Your Lord is quick to punishment, and He is Forgiving, Merciful. (6165) And recall in the Scripture Enoch; he was a man of truth, a prophet. And We raised him to a high place. 1957,5 And he who comes to Him as a believer doing good works, for those will be the highest ranks. (2075) This is just some brainstorming, but perhaps the first level of heaven is surrendering and the seventh level is being a believer and doing good work? The Nomads said "We believe." Say "You have not believed, but you should say 'We have surrendered', for belief has not yet entered into your hearts." If you obey God and His messenger, He will not put any of your works to waste. God is Forgiver, Merciful. pz
