The description that has been mentioned in the holy Quran is "sadaqa Allah" (Surah Aal 'Imran, 95), and the part of ayatul-kursi "al-'Ali al-'Adheem" (Surah al-Baqarah, 255).
Among Sunni jurists, they believe it is a good "bid'ah". For Shi'a jurists, its a general dhikr that is recommended to mention, whether it be sadaqa Allah al-'Adheem, or sadaqa Allah al-'Ali al-'Adheem, in which the latter would be better, due to the Quranic description.
Unfortunately, some Sunni Muslims believe that when the Shia say "al-'Ali al-Adheem", they are referring to Imam Ali (a.s.), which is far from any truth.
It is not a concept but a fact to believe that Allah created every thing in the universe including skies, earths, stars, planets and galaxies. Seven skies created by Allah (SWT) are mentioned in Quran in many verses (2:29 and 41:12 and 65:12 and 67:3 and 71:15). Allah, The Glorious has created the color spectrum as seven and layers of the earth as seven and many other phenomena in this universe in seven. He knows the wisdom behind it and we are unable to understand it due to our limited thinking abilities. We believe in His Absolute Wisdom, Absolute Knowledge, and Absolute Mercy and we have no doubt that every thing He creates is based on full wisdom.
The verse 33:33 was revealed informing about the Infallible progeny of the Prophet (SAWA). Hadith al-Kisaa' stated that the Prophet (SAWA ) kept the kisa (cloak) on Ali (as), Fatima (as), Hassan (as) and Hussain (as) and said: O Allah, theses are my Ahlul Bayt, so keep filth away from them and purify them real purification.. None of the wives of the Prophet was allowed to join them. This authentic Hadeeth is narrated in Sunni books like:

No doubt, every suffering and hardship we face has a reason behind it which can be warning us from bad deeds. COVID-19 is no exception. The whole world is suffering from different types of injustice and sinful acts committed by millions of people and governments. Nothing is making them leave injustice and wrong deeds. Bad deeds are increasing through the social and e media. Billions of Dollars are been wasted on weapons while millions of human beings are not finding enough food and medicine. Injustice can never go with out punishment or at least warning before the major punishment. It is a warning to every single and all human beings and a warning to the rulers who do injustice.
May Allah protect us from sinful acts and save us from the punishment.
