What is the extensive explanation of the noble verse: "It is Allah Who created seven heavens and of the earth, the like thereof," and does every earth have a moon like ours and its own special characteristics?

The exegetes (mufassirun) differed in their interpretation of the seven earths. The majority held that they are spheres, one above another, with a distance between each earth, and that each contains creation. This is supported by the hadith: "If the seven heavens and their inhabitants, and the seven earths, were placed on one side of a scale, and 'Lā ilāha illā Allāh' (There is no god but Allah) on the other, 'Lā ilāha illā Allāh' would outweigh them." There is also a view that they are seven earths not separated from one another, and another that the earth is a single sphere divided into seven regions. The first view is the most correct. As for the statement attributed to Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with both of them, in interpreting Allah's saying: "It is Allah who created seven heavens and of the earth the like of them" (65:12) — that in each earth there is a prophet like your prophet, an Adam like your Adam, a Noah like Noah, an Abraham like Abraham, and an Jesus like Jesus — the scholars have ruled it as anomalous (shādhdh) and attributed it to Isra'iliyat (narrations from Jewish or Christian sources). There is no narration from the people of knowledge indicating the existence of a moon for each earth; rather, it was stated by a contemporary writer.
