It is one of the ritual worships commanded by God and His prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and is not subject to debate or justification. Generally the number 7 has special significance in Quran; e.g..

Quran says (meaning English translation):

[ It is He who created for you all of that which is on the earth. Then He directed Himself to the heaven, [His being above all creation], and made them seven heavens, and He is Knowing of all things.] (2:29)

and:

[The semblance of those who expend their wealth in the way of God is that of a grain of corn from which grow seven ears, each ear containing a hundred grains. Truly God increases for whomsoever He will, for God is infinite and all-wise.] (2:261)

and:

[(One day) the king said (to his courtiers): "I saw sevenfat cows in a dream being devoured by seven lean ones, and seven ears of corn that were green and seven others that were seared. O courtiers, tell me the significance of my dream, if you know how to interpret them."] (12:43)

and:

[ It has seven gates; for every gate is of them a portion designated."](15:44)

and:

[We have indeed given you the seven oft-repeated (examples), and the majestic Qur'an.] (15:87)
