You’ve probably encountered terms like quantum jumping, metaverse, multiverse, changing timelines, quantum entanglement, and dimensions beyond the usual three—all of which can sound both fascinating and bewildering. For me, these concepts felt like scattered puzzle pieces, each intriguing yet elusive. Driven by a deep curiosity and my past knowledge of astrology, numerology, and other metaphysical fields, I set out to understand these complex terms. During this exploration, one number kept capturing my attention: the number 7.
My fascination with this number deepened a few weeks ago when I came across a Quranic verse from Surah Al-Talaq (65:12) that mentions the seven earths. Suddenly, this number wasn’t just an abstract idea; it was intricately woven into Islamic rituals and nature. We see the number 7 in the seven rounds of tawaf, the seven stones used in the stoning of the devil, and the seven verses of Surah Al-Fatiha. There are also seven levels of heaven and hell, each with its own set of seven doors, seven colors, seven days, leading to a deeper understanding of divine harmony.
This realization sparked a journey of inquiry: What do these seven earths really mean? Are there seven more earths just like ours? These questions led me to profound insights that I’m excited to share with you. Naturally, I turned to Islam, the Quran, and Hadith as my starting point.
But before we start, I would like to mention briefly that the significance of the number 7 extends beyond Islam. In Judaism, the seven-branched menorah symbolizes divine light. Hinduism, Kabbalah and western esoteric tradition recognize the seven chakras, the seven sephirot, Seven Principles of Hermeticism as central to understanding the universe’s divine structure. Even Shakespeare’s concept of seven original stories reflects a universal fascination with this number, bridging both physical and metaphysical realms. The number 7 seems to be a unifying thread across diverse traditions and fields, each offering a unique perspective on a shared spiritual and metaphysical reality.
As I delved deeper into the concept of seven earths, I began to see them as representations of different layers or dimensions of existence. But different scholars have different views: some believe these earths are physical realms, while others see them as various planes of reality. So, let’s find out…
After I read a Hadith from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) things start to make sense, where he states, “Allah created the heavens and the earth in six days, and He has the power to create whatever He wills. He created seven heavens and seven earths, and He has full knowledge of His creation.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 3756). Ibn Abbas further explained that the seven earths are like the seven heavens, with each earth having its own dimension and significance, just as the seven heavens are distinct and layered.
While reflecting on this, I remembered the Night Journey (Miraj) when Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) ascended through the seven heavens, encountering significant figures at each level, including Hazrat Adam on the first sky and Hazrat Ibrahim on the sixth. These were the same Adam and Ibrahim known to us on Earth, not seven different ones. This raises the compelling question: Are the seven earths truly distinct parallel realities, or do they represent something more profound within the divine order? If our Prophet met the same Adam and Ibrahim, does this imply that the seven earths might not be separate realms but rather layers or aspects of our own reality, each intertwined with our own? And do we also exist in these realms?
If so, then in my opinion this idea of seven earths is also linked to the modern concept of parallel realities, where each earth represents a different level of consciousness or existence. By improving ourselves spiritually and ethically, we might align with these higher realities and experience personal growth and transformation.
Beyond religious texts, the number 7 is a profound and recurring motif across various domains, including numerology, astrology, nature, science, and modern metaphysics. Let’s see how the number 7 and the idea of the seven earths link these different areas, giving us a clearer way to understand reality, awareness, and spiritual growth.
The Mystical & Numerological Significance of the Number Seven
Quantum Physics and Parallel Realities
Modern quantum physics supports the idea of parallel realities through the Many-Worlds Interpretation, which posits that multiple universes or realities exist simultaneously. Each reality reflects different outcomes or possibilities, aligning with the concept of seven earths as parallel realms. By exploring how these realities might overlap and interact, this section connects scientific theories with the metaphysical concept of shifting between different versions of existence.
The Seven Chakras: A Spiritual Map
In Hinduism, the seven chakras are energy centers within the human body, each associated with different aspects of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. From grounding us in the physical world to connecting us to higher consciousness, each chakra represents a distinct level of existence. Healing and balancing these chakras are believed to facilitate spiritual ascension, which can be metaphorically linked to navigating through the seven earths.
Integrating Chakras with Seven Earths
The chakras and the seven earths can be seen as analogous systems representing different levels of consciousness and reality. Just as each chakra governs a specific aspect of our being,
the seven earths may correspond to different dimensions of existence. Healing and balancing the chakras can be viewed as a process of ascending through the seven earths, achieving a higher state of spiritual awareness and connection.
The Seven Rituals for Harmonizing Mind and Body in Islam
Islamic rituals are designed to harmonize mind and body, each addressing different aspects of our well-being. Salah (Prayer) promotes mental clarity by reducing stress and improving focus.
Reciting the Quran enhances insight and offers rest for the eyes. Listening to Islamic teachings and speaking positively improve communication and reduce auditory strain. Giving Zakat (Charity) supports emotional satisfaction and cleanses wealth. Performing
Prayer, Hajj, or Umrah boosts physical health and endurance. Observing Sawm (Fasting) fosters self-discipline and metabolic health. Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah) calms the heart and promotes spiritual balance. Practicing these rituals can elevate you through different levels of reality, aligning physical well-being with spiritual growth.
The South Node and Intuition
In astrology, the number 7 is often linked to planetary influences and cosmic cycles. The number 7 is ruled by the South Node (also known as the Dragon’s Tail), which represents intuition, karmic lessons, and past life experiences. Unlike the North Node, which is associated with outward growth and development, the South Node is more about internal understanding and reflection, which is why it does not have a head or eyes. This lack of sensory input symbolizes a focus on intuition and energy rather than intellect.
Psychological and Physiological Dimensions and Manifestation
Art of Manifestation and Reality Shifting
Manifestation involves aligning one’s thoughts, feelings, and beliefs with desired outcomes. This process can be understood through the lens of parallel realities or seven earths, where manifesting a specific outcome involves aligning with the reality where that outcome already exists. By raising one’s vibrational frequency and shifting consciousness, individuals can access and integrate desired realities.
