Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (And We have certainly created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no fatigue)
Then He, the Exalted, said: [Q:38] : These are three great creations, and Allah (Mighty and Majestic) made it clear that He created them in six days,And He confirmed this news with three confirmers: The oath.
And the letter lam.
And qad.
Because the estimation of the verse is: And by Allah, We have certainly created the heavens and the earth.
So the heavens are known to us all, and they are: Seven heavens, one above another.
And the earth is this earth on which we are, and it is seven earths, as the Sunnah stated explicitly,And as is apparent in the Qur'an in His saying: [Al-Talaq:12] .
: Meaning: between the heavens and the earth. What is between the heavens and the earth are great creations. The indication of their greatness is that Allah made them equivalent to the creation of the heavens and the creation of the earth; so they are great creations.
And now, as science advances in astronomy, signs of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in what is between the heavens and the earth have appeared that were not known to many people before.
[Al-A'raf 7:54] : The first of them is: Monday,And the last of them: Friday. And if He (Mighty and Majestic) had willed, He could have created them in an instant; because His command is [Ya-Sin 36:82] ; but He (Exalted and Majestic is He) creates things through causes and preliminaries that complete gradually until they are finished. Just as, if He had willed, He could have created the fetus in its mother’s womb in an instant, but He creates it in stages until it is complete. Likewise, the heavens and the earth and what is between them: if He had willed, He could have created them in an instant, but He (Mighty and Majestic) creates things so that they complete gradually.
And some scholars said: And in this is another benefit, which is: that He teaches His servants to be deliberate in matters, and not to take matters quickly; because the important thing is perfection, not haste and speed.
[Qaf 50:38] ،Meaning: There touched Us no fatigue or weariness,And this is like His saying, the Exalted: [Al-Ahqaf:33] , so He (Mighty and Majestic) created these great heavens and the earths and what is between them without fatigue or weariness. And the negation of fatigue for Him (Exalted and Majestic is He) is due to the perfection of His strength and power, [Fatir:44] .
Then He, the Exalted, said:
And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَمَا مَسَّنَا مِنْ لُغُوبٍAnd the letter lam.
And qad.
Because the estimation of the verse is: And by Allah, We have certainly created the heavens and the earth.
So the heavens are known to us all, and they are: Seven heavens, one above another.
And the earth is this earth on which we are, and it is seven earths, as the Sunnah stated explicitly,And as is apparent in the Qur'an in His saying:
It is Allah who has created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them
اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَمِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّAnd what is between them
وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَاAnd now, as science advances in astronomy, signs of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in what is between the heavens and the earth have appeared that were not known to many people before.
Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night with the day, [another night] chasing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds.
فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍwhen He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.
إِذَا أَرَادَ شَيْئاً أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُAnd some scholars said: And in this is another benefit, which is: that He teaches His servants to be deliberate in matters, and not to take matters quickly; because the important thing is perfection, not haste and speed.
