Araf 54

54- AND YOUR LORD IS ALLAH WHO CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH IN 6 DAYS, THEN SETTLED ON THE THRONE, THE NIGHT COMES OVER THE DAY, EAGERLY SEEKING IT, THE SUN, THE MOON AND THE STARS ARE ALL OBEYING HIS COMMANDS, ONLY HE CREATES AND COMMANDS, BLESSED IS ALLAH THE LORD OF ALL THE WORLDS.

The Creation in Six days means in six periods of time.  Allah the Highest referred to a day as being a thousand years, fifty thousand years, and even more.  The Day of Resurrection is referred to as a day, while it goes on for thousands of years.  Therefore, whenever Allah the Highest mentions a day outside our life on Earth, it means a period of time.

A day is a period of time; we defined on Earth to be when a full day light and night cycle is complete.  Then we divided a day into 24 hours, and an hour into 60 minutes, not 100 and a minute into 60 seconds, not 61 or 51.  These are all manmade, and Allah the Highest uses them in this understanding when a day on earth is spoken about after the earth has been created and inhabited with mankind.

The Lord is the Creator, the Keeper and Controller, and the God is whom we worship.  Our Lord and God is Allah the Highest, who created everything and is the only one who deserves to be worshipped.

Allah the Highest created the Heavens and Earth in six days, which are six periods of time, which can be thousands of billions of years each.  Then He settled on the throne.  As we do not know what Allah the Highest is like, for He said about Himself “NOTHING IS LIKE HIM, AND HE HEARS AND SEES ALL THINGS”.  (S: 42 A: 11)

The Sky is generally dark, and the Earth’s side facing the sun is lit while it is facing it, but soon goes back into darkness.  Darkness is dominant in the sky and is only overcome for a short period to go back to darkness as it was.

All there is in the Universe of suns, stars, moon, Earth and all there is in them, Allah the Highest created and are under his command.  They live, change, and die according to Allah’s commands which we learn about in the rules and laws which rule over us as well as the whole universe.  No one can change these Laws and Rules, but we may learn them and learn to use them and benefit from them.

Allah the Highest Blesses Himself.  Allah the Highest filled the Universe and our Earth, sun and moon with blessings, without which there would be not be life.  Allah the Highest blessed Himself many times in the Quran, such as “BLESSED IS HE WHOM MADE THERE LEVELS IN THE SKY, AND MADE THERE IN A FLAME AND AN ILLUMINATING MOON”.  (S: 25 A: 61)

“BLESSED IS HE WHO HAS THE KINGDOM IN HIS HAND AND IS ABLE TO DO ALL THINGS”.  (S: 67 A: 1)

Allah’s blessings of Himself often come associated with mentioning what He blessed us with.  These blessings, are for all creation, man, animal, fish, birds, plants, insects, microorganisms etc, and not only for one creation not the other, or for the believers and not the disbelievers.  These blessings are for all, unlimited, and not controlled by anyone other than Him, which is a blessing in itself, for if a man controls the sunlight or the air or moon, life would be impossible.
