How many days did it take to create the Heavens and the Earth?
كم يوماً استغرق خلق السماوات والأرض وما بينهما؟
The Quran emphasizes the vastness of the universe and the precision of its creation. Allah informs us that despite the complexity of the heavens and the earth, they were brought into existence in six distinct periods. This mention serves as a reminder of Allah's absolute power and His role as the sole Originator of all that exists.
يؤكد القرآن الكريم على عظمة الكون ودقة صنعه، حيث أخبرنا الله تعالى أنه خلق هذا الوجود الشاسع في ستة أيام. هذا البيان الإلهي يبرز كمال قدرة الخالق عز وجل وتفرده بالخلق والتدبير، مشيراً إلى أن هذا العمل العظيم لم يتسبب في أدنى شعور بالجهد أو التعب للخالق سبحانه وتعالى.
Quranic Evidence | الدليل من القرآن الكريم
(Indeed, We created the heavens and the earth and everything in between in six Days, and We were not touched with fatigue.)
(وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَمَا مَسَّنَا مِن لُّغُوبٍ)
[سورة ق: آية ٣٨]
Scholarly Insight: Scholars of Tafsir note that the "Days" mentioned in the context of creation often refer to vast periods or stages of time known only to Allah, rather than the 24 hour solar days we experience on earth today. The mention of "no fatigue" (Lughub) was revealed specifically to refute claims that Allah rested on the seventh day, reaffirming His eternal strength and majesty.
