ولقد خلقنا السموات السبع والأرض وما بينهما من أصناف المخلوقات في ستة أيام، وما أصابنا من ذلك الخلق تعب ولا نَصَب. وفي هذه القدرة العظيمة دليل على قدرته -سبحانه - على إحياء الموتى من باب أولى.

Tafsir al-Muyassarfree-distribution

In earlier scriptures

  • Genesis 2:2difference
    Creation & cosmology

    And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

    Note

    וַיְכַ֤ל אֱלֹהִים֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֔י מְלַאכְתּ֖וֹ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֑ה וַיִּשְׁבֹּת֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֔י מִכָּל־מְלַאכְתּ֖וֹ אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָֽׂה׃

    A clear difference: Genesis 2:2 (and Exodus 31:17 'rested and was refreshed') says God RESTED on the seventh day. The Qur'an negates fatigue: 'We created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days, and no weariness touched Us' (Q 50:38; cf. 2:255 'neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him'). (Distinction.)
