Is it permissible to say the phrase "the Holy Heaven"?
Linguistically, sanctification (Taqdis) means purification, blessing, and absolving something from imperfection. This description is not exclusive to Allah the Almighty. Therefore, there is no impediment to describing the sky with it due to the unique characteristics Allah has bestowed upon it; it is the abode of angels who do not disobey Allah, and Paradise is in it, and Allah has not been disobeyed there. Al-Razi mentioned that the sky is superior to the earth because it is the worship place of the angels, and Allah has not been disobeyed there. Its mention precedes that of the earth in the Qur'an, and this is what some scholars, such as Al-Shafi'i and Al-Dardir, have favored.
