The Quran explicitly mentions in several verses, including Surah Al-A'raf (7:54) and Surah Yunus (10:3), that Allah created the heavens and the earth in six days. The Arabic word used is "ayyam" (days), but Islamic scholars clarify that these were not 24-hour days as we know them, since the sun and earth were not yet formed. Rather, these "days" refer to six distinct periods or stages of creation, the exact duration of which is known only to Allah.
The creation of the heavens and earth in six days is a fundamental Islamic belief mentioned in multiple Quranic verses. Interestingly, the Quran also states that Allah was not fatigued after creation (Surah Qaf 50:38), refuting the Biblical narrative that God rested on the seventh day. Islamic tradition holds that creation began on Sunday and was completed on Friday, which is why Friday holds special significance in Islam as the day of congregational prayer.
