Six days of creation or six periods?

Six days of creation or six periods?

7:54 Indeed, your Lord is Allah, the One Who created the heavens and the earth in six epochs (ayyamin), then He established on the Throne. He covers the night with the day seeking it rapidly; and the sun, and the moon and the stars are subjected by His command. Unquestionably, for Him is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds.

(The root of “ayyamin” (epochs) is “Ya-Waw-Miim”, and it means “day, era, time, today, age, period of time, etc.”, so the Arabic word can refer to long or short periods, but according to the context of Verse 7:54, it was six long periods, because the Verse mentions the Throne, together with the creation of the heavens and the earth in six epochs; if the Throne were to be set as the frame of reference, the Throne is wider than the Earth (2:255 “His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth”); so time should pass much slower than on Earth. The theory of general relativity says that time passes slower near an object more massive than Earth)(So, the Qur’an is in accordance with modern science)(Allah knows best)

50:38 And certainly, We created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between both of them in six periods, and fatigue did not touch Us.

32:5 He regulates the affair from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him in a Day, the measure of which is a thousand years of what you count.

(This Verse confirms that “Day” can refer to a long period of time)(Allah knows best)

70:4 The Angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a Day, its measure is fifty thousand years.

(This Verse confirms that “Day” can refer to a long period of time)(Verse 70:4 refers to the Day of Judgment)(Allah knows best)

41:9 Say, "Do you indeed disbelieve in the One Who created the earth in two periods and you set up rivals with Him? That is the Lord of the worlds."

(God’s Throne is interpreted to be creation because it can be borne, and Angels are around it (39:75, 40:7, 69:17). The Throne is mentioned in Verse 7:54, together with the creation of Earth in six days. As I said, if the Throne were to be set as the frame of reference, the Throne is wider than the Earth (2:255 “His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth”). So time should pass much slower than on Earth: Scientists say that our solar system is 4.57 billion years old. Earth started accreting (41:11) concurrently with the sun and our neighboring planets 4.57 bln years ago. However the universe is 13.7 bln years old. This places the age of Earth at approximately one third the age of the universe (4.57 bln/13.7 bln = 1/3). According to the Qur’an, the earth was created in two days/periods (out of 6)(Verse 41:9), while the heavens, earth (aka “matter”) and everything in between was created in 6 days (Verse 50:38)(2/6 = 1/3). So, the ratio in the Qur’an is the same as the ratio said by scientists. So, the age of the universe is presented as a ratio in the Qur’an (1/3))(Allah knows best)
