A Holistic Analysis of Surah Al-Mu’minun and the Verse “We Created Seven Paths Above You” Introduction Surah Al-Mu’minun, verse 23:17, profoundly expresses the Qur’an’s understanding of creation in both its cosmic and human dimensions. The phrase, “And indeed, We created above you seven paths” , stands out as a unique metaphor alluding to the multi-layered structure of the universe and the inner process of human creation.
