Transliteration:( Wa laqad khalaqnas samaawaati wal arda wa maa bainahumaa fee sittati ayyaamin wa maa massanaa mil lughoob )
64. From Sunday to Saturday. Sunday was the commencement of creation and reached completion on Friday. The earth was created in two days, all earthly things were created in two days and the sky was made in two days. It should be remembered that mention is made, here, about the period or time of creation, while in "Be and it became!" mention is made of the absolute power of Allah Almighty.
65. From this we learn that the creation of the heavens in six days was not due to any weakness or fatigue, i.e. creating one heaven in one day. In fact, there are thousands of wisdom hidden in this slowness.
It is to teach human beings that in spite of having power, Allah Almighty does not make haste, then Oh man, in spite of your helplessness, why do you make such haste? They were saying that Allah Almighty had become tired, therefore He rested for one day, and i.e. He rested on Saturday. In this verse, this claim of theirs is refuted. It should be remembered that to close the business on one day during the week, has been taken from this verse.
