to be in the seventh heaven


Explanation:
"To be in the seventh heaven" means "to be in a state of great bliss". In the Muslim and cabalist beliefs, heavens comprise a system of concentric spheres, the seventh heaven being the highest and a place of pure bliss.

"Into the Heaven of Heavens I have presumed, An earthly guest, and drawn empyreal air." John Milton; Paradise Lost: The Seventh Book.
