quran:23:17 –

And We have created above you seven layered heavens, and never have We been of ˹Our˺ creation unaware.  

And verily We created above you seven paths, that is, ˹seven˺ heavens (tarā’iq is the plural of tarīqa ˹so called˺ because they are the paths used by the angels) and of creation, that lies beneath these ˹paths˺, We are never unmindful, lest these should fall upon them and destroy them. Nay, but We hold them back, as ˹stated˺ in the verse: And He holds back the heaven lest it should fall upon the earth ˹Q. 22:65˺.
القرآن:٢٣:١٧ –

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعَ طَرَائِقَ وَمَا كُنَّا عَنِ الْخَلْقِ غَافِلِينَ  

{ولقد خلقنا فوقكم سبع طرائق} أي سماوات: جمع طريقة لأنها طرق الملائكة {وما كنا عن الخلق} التي تحتها {غافلين} أن تسقط عليهم فتهلكهم بل نمسكها كآية (ويمسك السماء أن تقع على الأَرض).
