The Heavens Have Pillars, But You Do Not See Them
Allah the Exalted says:
﴾Allah is the One who raised the heavens without pillars that you can see﴿ [Ar-Ra'd 13:2]
And He says:
﴾Indeed, Allah holds the heavens and the earth lest they cease to exist﴿ [Fatir 35:41]
Al-Tabari narrated, with his chain of transmission, from a number of the early Muslim scholars (Salaf) that the meaning of the verse is: the heavens were raised with pillars, but those pillars are not seen by people.
Among the reports he mentioned:
From Abdullah ibn Abbas: "They have pillars, but you do not see them."
From Mujahid ibn Jabr: "Pillars that are not seen."
From Al-Hasan Al-Basri: "With pillars that you do not see."
And from Qatadah ibn Di'amah, a similar statement.
According to this interpretation, the pronoun in "you see them" refers to the pillars; that is, "without pillars that you can see," meaning without visible pillars.
In our time, it draws our attention that Allah has made the universe governed by invisible forces that preserve celestial bodies and regulate the movement of matter and energy. These are:
• Gravity: which keeps planets, stars, and galaxies in their orbits.
• Electromagnetism: which binds atoms and molecules and is responsible for most electrical and magnetic phenomena.
• The strong nuclear force: which holds together the components of the atomic nucleus and preserves its cohesion.
• The weak nuclear force: which is responsible for certain nuclear transformations within stars and among the elements.
And Allah knows best.
