Is it understood from the verses of Surat Fussilat, “Say, ‘Do you indeed disbelieve in the One who created the earth in two days…’,” that the creation of the heavens and the earth took place in eight days?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: The verses in Surat Fussilat, from the words of Allah the Exalted to His words , and then His words , indicate that the creation of the earth and the heavens took place in eight days.

Answer:
No, who said that? Allah detailed it. He said: Two days for the creation of the earth, the provision of its sustenance, and the establishment of mountains in it, in two days. Two days plus two days is how much? Four days. Two days for the creation of the heavens and the earth, and He completed them as seven heavens in two days. Two days plus four days is six days, as in the saying of Allah the Exalted: “in six days.” Did you miss the seventh? Yes.
