Surah 25 Al-Furqan, Ayat 59-59
اۨلَّذِىۡ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فِىۡ سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسۡتَوٰى عَلَى الۡعَرۡشِ ۛۚ اَلرَّحۡمٰنُ فَسۡـئَـلۡ بِهٖ خَبِيۡرًا
﴿25:59﴾
(25:59) He Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is in between
them in six days, and then ascended the Throne;72 the Merciful One.
Ask concerning Him the one who knows.
Notes
72. For explanation of Throne, see
(E.Ns 41, 42 of Surah Al- Aaraf);
(E.N. 4 of Surah Younus), and
(E.N. 7 Surah of Houd). It is difficult to say what exactly
is mean by six days. Here a day may mean a period of time or an ordinary day
of this world. For explanation of the day, see
(E.Ns 11 to 15 of Surah HaMim Sajdah).
