 And are there 7 heavens in reality? And when we consider that they are one above the other (verse 67:3) and stars are in the lowest heaven (41:12), that means our universe is the lowest heaven, and we can see only this universe, so do we really see all the 7 heavens as the verse 71:15 claims we should?
+== "Wine" and "intoxication" both mentioned 6 times ==
+What is the significance of the number 6? And what is this supposed to mean? Wine equals intoxication? They are not the same thing.. but let's count them.
+Wine (''khamr'', خمر):
+* 1) 2:219 "''They ask you about '''wine''' (ٱلْخَمْرِ) and gambling. Say, "In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people...''"
+* 2) 5:90 "''O you who have believed, surely '''wine''' (ٱلْخَمْرُ) and games of chance, and altars (for idols) and divining (i.e., divination by arrows or in any other way) are only an abomination of Ash-Shaytan's (The all-vicious, the Devil) doing, so avoid it, that possibly you would prosper.''"
+* 3) 5:91 "''Surely Ash- Shaytan's (The all-vicious, the Devil) would only (like) to excite enmity and abhorrence among you by means of '''wine''' (ٱلْخَمْرِ) and games of chance, (Literally: in wine and games of chance) and to bar you from the remembrance of Allah, and from prayer. Will you then be refraining?''"
+* 4) 12:36 "''And two youths entered the prison with him. One of them said: I saw myself pressing '''wine''' (خَمْرًا ). And the other said: I saw myself carrying bread on my head, of which birds ate. Inform us of its interpretation; surely we see you to be of the doers of good.''"
+* 5) 12:41 "''O my two mates of the prison! as for one of you, he shall give his lord to drink '''wine''' (خَمْرًا ); and as for the other, he shall be crucified, so that the birds shall eat from his head, the matter is decreed concerning which you inquired.''"
+* 6) 47:15 "''(This) is the similitude of the Garden which the pious have been promised; therein are rivers of water not staling, and rivers of milk that does not change in taste, and rivers of '''wine''' (خَمْرٍ) - a delicious (drink) to the drinkers- and rivers of honey unadulterated...''"
+Some translations translate ''khamr'' as intoxicants to imply more general meaning.
+Now let's count intoxication (''sakara'', سكر):
+* 1) 4:43 "'':	O you who believe! do not go near prayer when you are '''Intoxicated''' (سُكَٰرَىٰ ) until ...''"
+* 2) 15:15 "''They would only say: "Our eyes have been '''intoxicated''' (سُكِّرَتْ ): Nay, we have been bewitched by sorcery."''"
+* 3) 15:72 "''By your life! they were blindly wandering on in '''their intoxication''' (سَكْرَتِهِمْ).''"
+* 4) 16:67 "''And of the fruits of the palms and the grapes-- you obtain from them '''intoxication''' (سَكَرًا) and goodly provision; most surely there is a sign in this for a people who ponder.''"
+* 5,6) 22:2 "''On the day when you shall see it, every woman giving suck shall quit in confusion what she suckled, and every pregnant woman shall lay down her burden, and you shall see men '''intoxicated''' (سُكَٰرَىٰ ), and they shall not be '''intoxicated''' (بِسُكَٰرَىٰ) but the chastisement of Allah will be severe.''"
+* 7) 50:19 "''And the '''intoxication''' (سَكْرَةُ ) of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid.''"
+Some translations sometimes translate the word as "dazzled" or "drunk" or "stupor", but the basic meaning is the same and the arabic root سكر is the same.
+So the words are not both mentioned 6 times.
