Surah Al-Mulk
Paper-cut picture from Surah Al-Mulk: a brass telescope on a wooden stand on a quiet hilltop, pointing at a clear deep blue evening sky with the first stars
Al-Mulk 67:3–4

Look at the sky

ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٍۢ طِبَاقًۭا ۖ مَّا تَرَىٰ فِى خَلْقِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ مِن تَفَٰوُتٍۢ ۖ فَٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَىٰ مِن فُطُورٍۢ ٣ ثُمَّ ٱرْجِعِ ٱلْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنقَلِبْ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْبَصَرُ خَاسِئًۭا وَهُوَ حَسِيرٌۭ ٤

The meaning, simply

Allah created seven heavens, one above another. You will not see any fault in the creation of the Most Merciful. Look at the sky again and again: do you see any crack? Your sight will come back tired, having found no flaw.
