ۣالَّذِیۡ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الۡاَرۡضَ وَ مَا بَیۡنَہُمَا فِیۡ سِتَّۃِ اَیَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسۡتَوٰی عَلَی الۡعَرۡشِ ۚۛ اَلرَّحۡمٰنُ فَسۡـَٔلۡ بِہٖ خَبِیۡرًا ﴿۵۹﴾
59. He (is the One) Who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six periods, then He established (His authority) on the Throne (as befitting His Majesty). The Most-Compassionate (Lord), so ask about Him, someone who is well aware (of Him).
* The expression used in the verse ‘sitta ayyam’ denotes six stages or periods of creation and not six days in general sense because here the subject is the creation of the earth and all the heavenly bodies, galaxies, stars, planets and space when night and day did not exist.
الذي خلق السماوات والأرض وما بينهما في ستة أيام ثم استوى على العرش الرحمن فاسأل به خبيرا
