Wow that's amazing. What's even more amazing is that these pictures that we are seeing today occured probably millions of years ago and the light that's reaching us today has travelled millions of years to get here. Meaning that the reality of the location now is completely different then the picture in front of us.
And another amazing this is that these are all within the first heaven, the Samaa ad-Dunya and there are 6 more heavens above this and the width of Paradise is that great distance.. And above the heavens is the Kursi and above the Kursi is the Throne of Allaah...
"Do you know what is the distance between the heaven and the earth?" 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)
