Have they not looked at the sky above them, how We have fashioned and adorned it, and it has no flaw?
So did they not see the sky above them – how We have made it and beautified it, and there are no cracks in it?
What, have they not beheld heaven above them, how We have built it, and decked it out fair, and it has no cracks?
Do they not look at the sky above them - how We have built it and made it beautiful and free of all faults?
Have they not looked up to the heaven above them, in what wise We have constructed and bedecked it, and that therein is no rift?
Have they not looked at the heaven above them, how We have made it and adorned it, and there are no rifts in it?

Did they never observe the sky above them: how We built it and beautified it; and it has no cracks;
Have they not looked at the heaven above them, how We have made it and adorned it, and there are no Furuj in it
Have they not then observed the sky above them, how We have constructed it and beautified it, and how there are no rifts therein?

Have they not observed the sky above them and marked how We have built it and adorned it, leaving no flaws in it;
Do they not look at the sky above them?- How We have made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?

Do these rejectors of the resurrection not ponder over the sky above them: how I created it, made it and adorned it with the stars I placed in it, and it does not have any cracks to spoil it? The being who created this sky is not incapable of resurrecting the dead alive.

<p>After mentioning the confused state of the infidels, Allah draws man's attention to His infinite power which He demonstrated by creating what is bigger than that which they wondered about and whose possibility they discounted. Referring to the heaven, the Qur'an says:	وَمَا لَهَا مِن فُرُ‌وجٍ (...and it has no cracks...50:6). Lexically, the word furuj is the plural of farj which means a crack, or an opening. This and the following few verses draw attention to the marvels of Allah's creation, the wonderful design in the universe, and to the flawless celestial firmament. If this was made by man there would have been patches, cracks, clefts or rifts. But no one can find any sort of patchwork or stitching in the sky. This, however, does not negate the existence of doors in the heaven. A door is not referred to as a crack:</p>
