Combining the verses on the creation of the heavens and the earth in six days

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If it returns from him, if Allah wills, from the conspirators, and if there is a sight between them, and if he is eager or between them for her sake, and if he remembers himself for a year or in two days, and especially other than the tenth, and the heavens in two days, and if he remembers himself also, how do we help this man?

Answer:
There is a contradiction in his mind, not in the Qur'an. There is no contradiction in the Qur'an, but his mind is contradictory. So the verse in Surat al-A'raf is general, and the verse in Surat al-Fussilat is detailed, containing detail. These six days: the creation of the earth in two days, and He determined therein its sustenance in two days, so the total is four days. Then He directed Himself to the sky and the sea, so He completed them as seven heavens in two days. What is the total? Six days. So his saying "in four days" is included in these two days mentioned before this.
The creation of the earth in two days, and determining its sustenance in four days, meaning in the two preceding days, so the creation of the earth and the determination of its sustenance is in four days. The creation of the heavens in two days, the total is six days. Praise be to Allah.
