32 Preface وَجَعَلنَا السَّماءَ سَقفًا مَحفوظًا ۖ وَهُم عَن آياتِها مُعرِضونَYusuf AliAnd We have made the heavens as a canopy well guarded:1 yet do they turn away from the Signs which these things (point to)! Canopy well-guarded: the heavens form a canopy that is secure from falling down: they also form a sublime spectacle and a Mystery that man can only faintly reach. Perhaps also the mystery of spiritual life is metaphorically hinted at (Cf. also 15:16-17).
