The first verse of Genesis says " In the begining God created heaven and earth" Further down the line in verse 7 it says 'God made the firmemant......." The dictionary gives the meaning of firmemant as the solid sphere in which the stars were thought to be fixed. In the next verse God called the firmemant, heaven. So that is heaven according to the Bible.
The Koraan also tells us the creation of heaven and earth. However heaven in the Koraan refers to the universe as a whole.
'Heaven and earth were once single entity which We then parted asunder" So said the Koraan in 21:30. Modern science says the entity subsequently consolidated by gravity and then separated into individual nebulae, galaxies and solar system.
In Chapter 51 Verse 47, God says "It is We who have built the universe with our creative power and verily it is We who have steadily expanding it". When the Koraan first talked about expanding universe no body understood it then until recently when scientist started making this discovery.
Astronomy is an amazing subject where one gets to witness the granduer and the majesty of creation
