1:2 Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds
This could mean absolutely anything. It could mean other planets, land masses, countries, tribes, faiths, you name it. How you get from this the existence of a multiverse is a serious case of making the text fit the facts after the event.
67:3 He who created the seven heavens in layers. You will not find any flaw in the creation of the All-Merciful. Look again – do you see any gaps?
Not one of the authentic translations I found contained the word 'Universe', only those that are considered 'controversial' but even if they did it still means nothing. As I said before, if M theory does find other universes then there will be trillions of them at least, not seven and they certainly won't be layered in the way you think. Micheo was just using the sheets of paper as a crude example for a hypothetical 2 dimensional universe.
You must see that all you are doing is to take current scientific discoveries and desperately trying to make them fit into your beliefs.
And just for your information, the concept of a 'multiverse' was being hotly discussed by early Greek Atomists many centuries before the Qu'ran was even thought about. So, even if you can stretch your imagination far enough to believe that your book is talking about many universes I'm afraid that the ancient Greeks got there way, way before the Qu'ran!
