Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What is meant by the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-Ma'arij 70:4], and His saying the Exalted [As-Sajdah 32:5]? How is this reconciled with that?
Answer:
Yes, this is among the difficult matters, but they answered it by saying that fifty thousand years is for the slow pace, and a thousand years is for the fast pace. The difference in duration is due to the type of movement, and Allah knows best. Yes.
