Creation of The Heavens and Earth | Mufti Abu Layth

let's come to this thing let's come to specifically you know there is this there is this naive way people approach creation of heavens and earth and creation of earth in quran they say well in one place quran says god created heavens and earth in six days in another place when you add up the days it comes to eight days what is going on and some people would say all right they say can't god get basic calculus

right they go well according to some beliefs that god's only got two fingers doesn't he or something so you know some of the anthropomorphic kind of humbly so how many times how many times can you keep counting on two fingers at the end of it it's actually a company

if you want to go in detail it's the humble interpretation actually doesn't say what like describe god in that way what they do is they they associate meaning from language they say god has two fingers but we cannot say anything so then you're not really understanding anything of them so it's a de-association of meaning and warmth and making linguistic forms of any meaning i meant so in case they thought in case they thought you know like he's counting the days on his fingers and if it's only got two how many is going to keep i don't think i'm pleased

i'm joking guys i'm joking okay let's come to this one let's come to this one so let's come to okay first of all one thing that is very clear from quran like in verse surah 17 verse 54 god says that i am is 50 000 in verse 22 sorry verse 22 so sorry surah 22 verse 47 it says i am is one thousand days in another surah 2 verse 185 it says i am i am is your normal i am of 24 hours yam means days plural of yom days okay

one thing is clear that the way day or yom is used in quran it just signifies a period of time not necessarily 24 just any period of time it can be 50 000 10 000 one day one's lifetime you can get various examples from within the quran for this so i'm not like for any of my interpretations to be justified i will justify it from the context of quran so this is very important so that people cannot say where did you get this from i got it from so self say you know i'm self referencing so when you when you take this idea that yom is any period of time yeah it can be thousands of years or days or anything it could be

one billionth of a second or one trillionth of a second it can be it's a period of time so period of time but one thing that was interesting is that rather than a period of time which has is which bears some distinction to other people that is what i would say now the first as let's now take these things about earth being created in two days uh universe being heavens that are being created in six days someone haven't been created in you know two days and the spread of this resources on earth offering in four days let's take it one bite sure let's go and try to see you know like breaking things down let's break it

down and see what is the information and then see if that's to accountability what was god doing in these days let's try to take let's try to take meaning out of these verses so the first thing is earth is created in two days it says that in verse surah 41 verse 9 so two periods let's say two periods earth is created in two periods because we have already established ayam can mean a period so it has earth been created in two periods it also says in surah 54 1 that the moon has split and the day of judgment comes near so

has moon been split from us interestingly there what we know now is that there was a pro tour some 4.5 billion years ago and there was another planet for thea and they collided and because of this collision moon split from earth and this occurred for for 4.5 billion years ago and so the creation of earth occurs in two stages one is pre-collision proto and then there's the collision with here moon splits apart and then there is the post collision and this could also refer to the in that the moon has split

surah 54 verse 1 when it says moon was split it never says prophet split them that's what tradition says it never says prophet split the food and in some traditions and it fell on the in the [Music] but anyway it just says like this statement by itself moon has been split is completely correct yes moon was played when thea collided with earth 4.5 billion years ago yes earth has been created in two periods four split pre-split two distinct periods so just to be clear for

so what we're saying is proto-earth so this is the kind of uh the pre-earth structure that we know now in which the moon was a part of earth this is what we're seeing there was a there was a proto heart of course there was moon was as a part of the earth this uh this proto earth collided with another planet there were which is called thea there was a collision and one of that and the temporary from that collision formed the moon hmm wow okay i'll not go into details

sure but this is but this is so this is what we're speaking about is uh you know this is it's scientific it's not something this is well established this is pretty much well established interestingly the water from earth came from this planet here that possibly originated in the outer parts of solar system came and collided with earth and quran says there are rocks which burst to bring out water in

this is yeah yeah about about that there are certain rocks but it it begins about speaking about the hearts are like rocks or shadows but some rocks you know rivers will even gush out of them and some will tear open water open to bring out water so yeah sophia did burst out and we got most of our water on earth which is interesting but then this let's people might argue that okay the people did not understand it it passed this way i understand people did not understand it but all i can say is that this statement that earth moon has been split

from earth let's say from earth is completely 100 correct statement and the statement that earth was created in two periods is a hundred percent accurate statement okay whether you want it so that that verse right that we're talking about is i mean one of the places that this is uh you're referring to surah fusilat do you disbelieve yes verse 9 that do you disbelieve in in he or in god

okay who created the earth in two uh periods of time okay that's what we're saying yeah but then it goes on to say in in the same surah in so just just to be clear you're saying the two periods are first proto-earth and then common earth is that is that yes there are two distinct periods there's a proto earth pre-collision earth and then there's a our earth post collision with a post collision okay well cool
