The Holy Quran 32:5 — Surah As-Sajdah

Arabic text

يُدَبِّرُ ٱلْأَمْرَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُۥٓ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ

Translation

He (Allaah) directs every affair (which He has decided shall take place on earth) from the heavens to the earth, after which every affair (everything that happens) will ascend to Him (for Him to judge its merit) on a day (the Day of Qiyaamah), the duration of which is a thousand years according to your count (in this world).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
