For ex: The term Bismillahir Rahmaanir Rahim is translated to "In the name of Allah The Most Gracious, Most Merciful". Now u as an Arabic speaking person u know the word for in is "Fi". So Bismillah doesn't technically mean "In" the name of Allah but that is how the statement is made in our English language. But my friend my duty is not to guide u to Islam, I have no power to do such. Only Allah guides to His straight path whom He pleases and who seek His guidance. All I do is tell u the truth about our beautiful religion of Islam, the true way it is supposed to be taught. Not based on the hatred and false teachings of these worldwide terrorists who say they kill in the name of Islam, but based on the true teachings from Allah through our Prophet Muhammad pbuh. So as Allah says in chapter 18:29 "Fa man shaa'a fal yu'min wa man shaa'a fal yakfur" So he who wishes to believe let him believe and he who wishes to disbelieve let him disbelieve". Belief in Allah as God and submission to Him in Islam is not for Him but for us as people. So my friend as Allah also tells us in 109:6 of the Qur'an "Lakum dinukum wa liyadin" To you be your way of belief and to me be my way of belief"
Ok, but I'm saying samaa2 is not known to mean "universe". Anyway, context is clear that the verse is referring to the time of creation, just like in the Bible. According to the Abrahamic religions, God expanded the sky during the time of creation, and that's how we got a wide expanse of a sky (well, not according to science of course, but just saying).
And, yes, by all means believe whatever you want, but I will not believe in blatant nonsense, and neither will many people here.
Well I appreciate ur friendly conversation/debate. Even though we don't agree on certain things, we agree there is an Almighty God. May He bless u for all of ur good and have mercy upon u my friend
