S 2:29 He is the one who created for you all what is on the Earth then ascended to the sky and regularised them as seven skies. And he is learned in everything.


S 7:54 Your lord is Allah who created the skies and the Earth in six days then ascended the throne. He covers the night with the day seeking it quickly, and the sun and the moon and the stars--subjected by his command. Indeed, his is the creation and the command. Blessed be Allah, lord of the ‘alamin.


S 10:3 Your lord is the one who created the skies and the Earth in six days then ascended the throne, arranging affairs. There is no intercessor except after his permission. That is Allah your lord, so worship him. So do you not remember?


S 13:2 Allah is the one who raised the skies without columns that you see. Then he ascended the throne and subjected the sun and the moon, each running for a fixed term. He arranges the matter, he details the signs; perhaps you will be certain of the meeting of your lord.


S 20:5 Al-Rahman ascended the throne.


S 25:59 The one who created the skies and the Earth and what is between them in six days then ascended the Al-Rahman throne. So ask him, an expert.


S 28:14 And when he reached his strength and became full-grown we gave him judgment and knowledge. And thus do we recompense the good-doers.


'Became full-grown' renders istawa.


S 32:4 Allah is the one who created the skies and the Earth and what is between them in six days. Then he ascended the throne. You have no protector or intercessor instead of him. So do you not remember?


S 41:11 Then he ascended to the sky when it was smoke and said to it and to the Earth: Come willingly or unwillingly. They said: We have come willingly.


S 48:29 Muhammad is Allah’s messenger and those with him are severe against the kuffar, merciful among them. You see them bowing, doing sujud, seeking favour from Allah and pleasure. Their mark is on their faces from the trace of sujud. That is their similitude in the Torah. And their similitude in the Injil is like a seed, its shoot has come out then it has strengthened it then it has become thick and has ascended on its stem pleasing the sowers that he may enrage the kuffar by them. Allah has promised those who have believed and have done the righteous deeds among them forgiveness and a great wage.


S 53:6 A possessor of might and he ascended


S 57:4 He is the one who created the skies and the Earth in six days then ascended the throne. He knows what passes into the Earth and what comes out of it and what descends from the sky and what ascends into it. And he is with you wherever you were. And Allah is a seer of what you do.
