(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ يُغْشِى ٱلَّيْلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُۥ حَثِيثًا وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ وَٱلنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَٰتٍۭ بِأَمْرِهِۦٓ أَلَا لَهُٱلْخَلْقُ وَٱلْأَمْرُ تَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ 54

 54a.  Lo! Your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then mounted He the Throne. He covereth the night with the day, which is in haste to follow it, and hath made the sun and the moon and the stars subservient by His Command. His verily is all creation and commandment.
54a.  ‘Inna  Rabba-kumUllaahul-lazii  khalaqas-samaawaati  wal-‘arza  fii  sittati  ‘ayyaa-min-  summas-tawaa  ‘alal- ‘arsh.  Yugshil-lay-lan-nahaara  yat-lubuhuu  hasiisanw-wash-shamsa  wal-qamara  wan-nujuuma  musakh-kharaatim- bi-‘amriH.         

Commentary
This description has already been being stated that everybody will know after death that his/her Lord is Allah Almighty and He sent His Messengers (peace be upon Them) along with His Scriptures (the Word) for the guidance of human beings. That all was correct and true, whatsoever the Messengers (peace be upon Them) said and whichever was written in the Scriptures. But believing at that time (in the Day of Resurrection) will not be useful.

Those people will be kept in the Garden for dwelling, who recognized their Lord and obeyed Him in the world, whereas those who were disobedient, will be sent in the Fire of the Hell. With effect from this Section, which description begins, that is: How to know our God in this world?

Our Lord commands: look at the heavens, the earth, the day, the night, the moon, the sun, and the stars, and think that: How the system of this world is set up in order, established and organized in the best manner? Has it been established itself?

No! Nothing can happen itself. A Creator of all these things, for keeping them under an established system properly and completing them step by step, slowly and gradually, exists, that is One - Allah Almighty, to Whom we can’t see today with human eyes.

Moreover, by beholding His Tokens and Signs, we can understand with sense and wisdom that He exists and certainly He is Existing. These entire heavens and the earth etc., created from the matter by Him, were completed after a long time and were set up at their proper places.

The term of creating these things was six days, however those were not the days, which are determined by the sun, but measuring scale of those days is something else. The Day, the night, the sun, the moon and the stars appeared slowly and gradually. Measuring of the days, when the skies and the earth were created, does not depend on them.

Different but regular movements of these entire things depend on the Command of Allah Almighty. From them the days and the nights come running one after one, and these all are obedient and submissive to the Commands of Allah Almighty. We should know our Creator by meditating in all these things and believe in Him Unseen, so that we may be saved from His wrath of the Day of Resurrection.
