The Holy Quran 10:3 — Surah Yunus

Arabic text

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ ۖ يُدَبِّرُ ٱلْأَمْرَ ۖ مَا مِن شَفِيعٍ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ إِذْنِهِۦ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ فَٱعْبُدُوهُ ۚ أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ

Translation

Undoubtedly your Rabb is that Allaah Who created the heavens and the earth in six days (each day being equal to 6000 years) and then turned His attention to the Throne. He plans every matter. There shall be intercessors only after His permission (none will be able to intercede on the Day of Qiyaamah without Allaah's permission). That Allaah is your Rabb, so worship (Only) Him. Do you not take heed (will you not listen to sound advice)?

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The creation of the earth and the heavens in six days: that is, in a span of time equal to six days, and, according to the tafsir (exegesis) of Ibn Abbas, one day will be taken as a thousand years. Thus the earth, the heavens and the rest were completed in six thousand years.
