🕰️ First of All: Time Doesn’t Limit Allah – The Six Days Creation

If Allah wanted to create everything in 1 second, 1 nanosecond, or no time at all—He could! 💨
But if He had done it instantly, we might’ve still asked,
“Why instantly? Why not gradually?” 😅
So He created the universe in six ‘days’—not because He needed to—but because He willed to. He can do whatever He wants. 🙌

⚠️ BTW: Those six days aren’t our 24-hour days. It’s a divine measure of time, not earthly.
(Time as we know it didn’t even exist before creation!) ⏳🚫. Wanna read more? I got you. Click here: Allah’s Six-Day Creation: A Beautiful Mystery of Science?

💡 Why the Six Days Creation Then? Good Question!

There are some really interesting reasons scholars and thinkers have shared:

🧘‍♂️ 1. To Teach Us Patience & Process

Allah is teaching us: Don’t rush everything. Even the universe was built step by step. 🌱➡️🌳
Take your time. Mastery requires process. Whether you’re building an empire or baking a cake 🎂.

And that is precisely why Allah did not grant direct kingship or worldly rulership to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ or any other prophet. Instead, He allowed them to face trials, hardships, and opposition — not as punishment, but as a divine process to shape their character, strengthen their resolve, and purify the hearts of their companions. Through struggle, their leadership became a model of patience, sacrifice, and reliance on Allah — not merely of power, but of purpose. 🌟🕊️. Click here to read more about this divine wisdom.

🌟 2. To Show His Power & Perfection Gradually

When you create something slowly and beautifully, it shows more artistry, more detail, more wow. 😲
Imagine watching a building appear in 0.1 seconds 😐 vs. watching it being constructed with perfect precision over days… 🏗️🏛️
One feels like magic, the other like mastery. Allah’s creation is about both.

So, ending here the first part of our question, why did Allah create the universe in six days?

Good things take time — and that’s a divine message through the Six Days Creation

Ever noticed how the best things in life don’t happen overnight? Exams 📚? You don’t just binge-study one night and become Einstein. Nope. It’s the “one chapter a day, one panic attack less” method that works 😂.

Same with buildings 🏗️ — you don’t see workers throwing bricks in the air and ta-da, skyscraper! It takes days, plans, and chai breaks ☕.

And guess what? Even Allah ﷻ, in His infinite power, created the universe in six days (Qur’an, 7:54). He could’ve said “Be!” — and boom — universe in 0.0001 seconds. But no, He chose a process. Why? Because He’s teaching us something powerful:

🕰️ Consistency > Speed.
💪 Effort + Patience = Greatness.
🤲 Do your 100%, then trust Allah with the rest.

Like the poet said:

“Girte hain sheh-sawar hi maidan-e-jung mein,
Woh tifl kya gire jo ghutnon ke bal chale.”
(Only the brave fall in the battlefield;
Not the child who never dared to walk.)

So don’t rush greatness! Walk your path, give your best, laugh through the mess, and leave the outcome to the One who knows best

Now I want to move to the scientific meaning hidden here……………..

✨ Alam-e-Amr vs Alam-e-Khalq and the Six Days Creation (This is SO cool, btw)

Whatever Allah has created, we can divide it into two categories — Alam-e-Amr (the realm before the Big Bang, where time is dependent) and Alam-e-Khalq (after the Big Bang, where time actually begins). Let’s talk about them in a little detail — and trust me, it’s super cool 😎. Allah describes creation in two ways in the Qur’an:

🌌 1. Alam-e-Amr – The World of Command

Alam-e-Amr is where things happen just by Allah’s command — like “Be!” and boom, it’s there. No atoms, no time, no physics. Just pure divine action. Alam-e-Amr is the invisible, metaphysical realm — the divine zone where things just happen instantly by the pure will of Allah. This world doesn’t operate under the rules of time, space, or physical laws. 🕊️✨

The power of Kun rule here:

Here, creation is not a process — it’s a command. Allah says “Kun” (Be!), and the thing just is — no delay, no construction phase, no “coming soon.” 💨 Time doesn’t tick here. You can’t build a schedule in Alam-e-Amr, because time simply doesn’t exist. It’s beyond perception, beyond our five senses, and beyond physics.

• Creation with “Kun” (Be!) ⚡
• 💥 Instant, no time involved
• ✨ Souls, angels, divine commands
• 🧠 Beyond our 5 senses

❝ His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, “Be,” and it is. ❞¹

💡 Joke time:

If Alam-e-Amr had a fast food branch, your order would be ready before you finished saying it. 🍔⚡
“Hi, can I get a—”
“Done. Here you go.” 💁 (effect is before the cause)

Science time – The Six Days Creation

This is exactly what science talks about too. According to scientific theories, before the Big Bang, there was simply no time ²— just nothingness 😶. Wonderful, right? That means the things that were born before the birth of the universe are not dependent upon time ⏳❌.

For example: jinns, angels, and our souls (We are made up to two compenents: 1. Body 2. Soul) 👻🧚‍♂️🧠. Have you ever wondered why our souls don’t need food, drink, or why they don’t get old? Why we can’t see our souls? Why we can’t see angels or jinns? 👀👀

Well yeah, biology will give you its usual textbook answer — something like: “You’re a trichromatic being and your cone cells aren’t capable enough to detect them” 🔬. But let’s be real… let’s dig deeper 🕵️‍♂️.

Our souls were created before the Big Bang — before the making of this entire universe 🌌. Allah says in the Qur’an:

“They ask you about the soul. Say: The soul is from the command (Amr) of my Lord…”³

So our souls don’t need materialistic things. They don’t get tired 😴, they don’t need food 🍕, they don’t sleep 🛌, and yeah — we just can’t see them. Remember I told you? Things born in this realm cannot be perceived by our senses. They exist on another level — totally out of reach for our physical tools 🧘‍♂️🕊️.

Here you go. Mind = blown. 🤯

2. Alam-e-Khalq (World of Creation)

I’m stepping into Alam-e-Khalq now—the realm where time begins ticking. ⏳ This is where our universe was created, and yep—you guessed it—in six days!. Science actually backs this up—time itself kicked off right after the Big Bang. Boom! 💥💫

Since our bodies were created in this time-bound realm, of course they come with all the limited edition features:

• Requires food 🍔
• Needs sleep 😴
• Gets tired faster than your phone battery 📱⚡
• And yes… ages like leftover biryani in the fridge 🧓👵

Why? Because this realm is temporary. Everything here is on a countdown—even the Sun! ☀️ It’s literally burning itself out like a candle at both ends. One day, its fuel will run dry, and it’ll fade away Chapter 36 (Surah Ya-Sin), Verse 38. (Wanna know what Holy Quran tells about the motion of Sun? Click here. Oh my God, it is so amazing………)
I mean, imagine the Sun calling in sick:

“Hey Earth, I’m outta energy today. Can you orbit someone else?”

😂🔥

It’s honestly mind-blowing how Allah packed such profound truths into these small, seemingly simple signs. Every verse, every natural law—it’s like a cosmic syllabus Allah wrote to teach us and remind us that nothing here lasts forever… except Him.

“Everyone upon the earth will perish. But the Face of your Lord will remain…”⁴

So yeah, it’s not just science—it’s divine design. And it’s AWESOME. 😎✨

🧠 So when Allah talks about creating the heavens and the earth in 6 days, He’s talking about Alam-e-Khalq — our physical universe, which exists within time.

The Quran isn’t just a book—it’s a miracle in words

In just one sentence, Allah can reveal layers of wisdom that scholars spend lifetimes exploring. 🧠💡

Long before science caught up, the Quran spoke of embryos, the expanding universe, mountains as pegs, and the water cycle.

It’s like Allah said, “I created the universe… of course I can explain it better than anyone!” 🌌👑

So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?

My final words

The glorious Quran says:

“We will show them Our signs in the universe and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that this ˹Quran˺ is the truth. Is it not enough that your Lord is a Witness over all things?”⁵

Some people require only one sign, while others require numerous signs to embrace the truth. On the other side, there are others who, even after receiving thousands of indications, refuse to embrace the reality. The Quran describes these persons as:

“They are ˹wilfully˺ deaf, dumb, and blind, so they will never return ˹to the Right Path˺.”⁶

The Bible says the same thing:

“Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.”⁷

So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny
