Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do you reconcile the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)[As-Sajdah 32:5]
Answer:
No, the day of the Hereafter is not different; there is not a day of a thousand and a day of fifty thousand. It is not fifty thousand, but the scholars, in reconciling His saying of a thousand years and His saying of fifty thousand[As-Sajdah 32:5].
[Al-Hajj 22:47] They said that this is the result of the difference in the journey; there is a slow journey that is fifty thousand years, and there is a fast journey that is a thousand years. This difference in the journey is one opinion. The second opinion is that fifty thousand years is from the lower earth to the Throne; this is fifty thousand years. And a thousand years is from the upper earth, its upper layer, to the lowest heaven; this is a thousand years. From the upper earth to the lowest heaven, this is a thousand years. And it was said to refrain from this, and Allah knows best. Yes.
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do you reconcile the saying of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)
in a Day, the extent of which is a thousand years
فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍAnswer:
No, the day of the Hereafter is not different; there is not a day of a thousand and a day of fifty thousand. It is not fifty thousand, but the scholars, in reconciling His saying of a thousand years and His saying of fifty thousand
He arranges [each] matter from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him in a Day, the extent of which is a thousand years of those which you count.
يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَAnd indeed, a day with your Lord is like a thousand years of those which you count.
وَإِنَّ يَوْمًا عِندَ رَبِّكَ كَأَلْفِ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ
