قُلْ أَئِنَّکُمْ لَتَکْفُرُونَ بِالَّذِی خَلَقَ الاَْرْضَ فِی یَوْمَیْنِ وَتَجْعَلُونَ لَهُ أَندَاداً ذَلِکَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِینَ(( 9 ))

9- SAY:- ``DO YOU DISBELIEVE IN HIM WHO CREATED THE EARTH IN TWO DAYS, AND YOU SET UP EQUALS WITH HIM? THAT IS THE LORD OF ALL THE WORLDS.

وَجَعَلَ فِیهَا رَوَاسِىَ مِنْ فَوْقِهَا وَبَارَکَ فِیهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِیهَا أَقْوَاتَهَا فِی أَرْبَعَةِ أَیَّام سَوَاءً لِلسَّائِلِینَ(( 10 ))

10- AND MADE THE FIRM MOUNTAINS UPON IT, AND BLESSED IT, AND ORDAINED ITS NUTRIMENTS IN IT, IN FOUR DAYS; ALIKE FOR ALL QUESTIONERS. (SO THE CREATION OF THE EARTH AND WHATEVER ELSE IN IT TOOK 4 DAYS ALTOGETHER TO COME INTO EXISTENCE.)

ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَهِیَ دُخَانٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلاَْرْضِ ائْتِیَا طَوْعاً أَوْ کَرْهاً قَالَتَا أَتَیْنَا طَائِعِینَ(( 11 ))

11- THEN HE ATTENDED TO THE SKY WHICH WAS A GAS. THEN HE SAID TO IT, AND TO THE EARTH; ``COME ON BOTH OF YOU WILLINGLY OR UNWILLINGLY.'' THEY SAID:- ``WE WILL COME WILLINGLY.''

فَقَضَاهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَوَات فِی یَوْمَیْنِ وَأَوْحَى فِی کُلِّ سَمَاء أَمْرَهَا وَزَیَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْیَا بِمَصَابِیحَ وَحِفْظاً ذَلِکَ تَقْدِیرُ الْعَزِیزِ الْعَلِیمِ(( 12 ))

12- THEN HE FORMED THEM INTO SEVEN SKIES IN TWO DAYS, AND INSPIRED EACH SKY WITH ITS ORDER. AND WE ADORNED THE LOWER SKY WITH LAMPS AND A PROTECTION.

      THAT IS THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE EXALTED IN MIGHT, THE ALL-KNOWING.
