Counting The Days Of Heavens And Earth Creation - Islam is the truth - 09-26-2004
In the name of Allah Most gracious Most Merciful
In respone to the question about the contradiction in the quran in counting the days of heavens and earth creation.
First of all we most say that The quraan Is the only book on earth .. that calims that it is from God directly.
And it is the only book that chalenge all mankind.. to try to write just one chapter like its chapters
we can read in th e quraan ( Do they not consider the Qur'an (with care)? Had it been from other Than Allah, they would surely have found therein Much discrepancy ( contradictions and errors) ) The holly quraan ( 4 : 82 )
And now back to the question
It states that there is a contradiction between the following two parts
(Your Guardian-Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days) quraan 7 : 54
and
(
9. Say: Is it that ye deny Him Who created the earth in two Days? And do ye join equals with Him? He is the Lord of (all) the Worlds.
10. And He set on the (earth), mountains standing firm, high above it, and bestowed blessings on the earth, and measure therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion, in four Days, in accordance with (the needs of) those who seek (Sustenance).
11. Moreover He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke: He said to it and to the earth: "Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly." They said: "We do come (together), in willing obedience."
12. Then He completed them as seven firmaments in two Days, and He assigned to each heaven its duty and command. And We adorned the lower heaven with lights, and (provided it) with guard. Such is the Decree of (Him) the Exalted in Might, Full of Knowledge
)
quraan 41 : 9->12
the first one states that it was in 6 days
and the second states 2 + 2 + 4.. so you think it is 8
and now... first of all you most know that quran is in arabic..
and arabs .. without any difficulty can understand it easily.. so easily
the answer is the 4 days... includes the first 2 days also.. and here is the explaination ..
consider that you are telling your son " i will give you 10 dollars "
and after giving him 10 dollars.. you telling him again " now i will make it 20 dollars " and you gave him another 10 to complete them 20 ..
why don't you give him 20 dollars and make them 30 ??
you say noo you are a fool.. you do not understand english.. the 20 dollars includes the firs 10.. and the last 10
and that is it.. arab.. can understand it easily...
and that because in the arabic text.. there is are some small words used.. that can clear that point..
when God talks about the 4 days he said " and "
but when he talks about the last 2 days he says " then "
the arab can understand from that the the first 2 days.. are inculded in the 4 days.. but using then.. made the last 2 days.. separates from the first 4 days..
so we can find that it is 6 days an all chapters... an no contradiction
And men of translation must take care of that and add some explaination in the bottom of the pages.. to clear these points to nonarabs.
May God Bless you all..
And may peace be upon you
