Was the rising above the Throne on the seventh day?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : A hadith was reported to that effect, that they are the days of the week. Otherwise, some scholars said that it is among the unknown days of Allah. Some of them said it is among the days of Allah that He measured as a thousand years, as in His saying: [Al-Hajj 22:47] [Al-A'raf 7:54] Is there evidence that the rising above the Throne was on the seventh day?
Answer : No, there is no evidence. Yes, a hadith was reported that Allah finished on the sixth day, on Friday. He may have finished at the very last moment, meaning, for example, at sunset, in which case the rising above the Throne would be on the night of the seventh day. Or He may have finished in six days, meaning in the middle of the day. Allah knows best.
And indeed, a day with your Lord is like a thousand years of those which you count.
وَإِنَّ يَوْمًا عِندَ رَبِّكَ كَأَلْفِ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَyour Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne
رَبَّكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِAnswer : No, there is no evidence. Yes, a hadith was reported that Allah finished on the sixth day, on Friday. He may have finished at the very last moment, meaning, for example, at sunset, in which case the rising above the Throne would be on the night of the seventh day. Or He may have finished in six days, meaning in the middle of the day. Allah knows best.
