Translation of Verse 54-58

54. Indeed your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, 318 then established Himself on the Throne. He makes the day and night overlap in rapid succession. He created the sun, the moon, and the stars-all subjected by His command. The creation and the command belong to Him ˹alone˺. Blessed is Allah- Lord of all worlds!

55. Call upon your Lord humbly and secretly. Surely He does not like the transgressors.

56. Do not spread corruption in the land after it has been set in order. And call upon Him with hope and fear. Indeed, Allah's mercy is always close to the good-doers.

57. He is the One Who sends the winds ushering in His mercy. When they bear heavy clouds, We drive them to a lifeless land and then cause rain to fall, producing every type of fruit. Similarly, We will bring the dead to life, so perhaps you will be mindful.

58. The fertile land produces abundantly by the Will of its Lord, whereas the infertile land hardly produces anything. This is how We vary ˹Our˺ lessons to those who are thankful.


Commentary

318. The word day is not always used in the Quran to mean a 24-hour period. According to 22:47, a heavenly Day is 1000 years of our time. The Day of Judgment will be 50 000 years of our time ( see 70:4). Hence, the six Days of creation refer to six eons of time, known only by Allah.
