According to the Hadith, on the 1 aeon, clay (Arabic word used is "turba" which can also mean ground) was created on day 1. On day 2, mountains were created.<br /><br /><br />If the first 2 aeons in Surah Fussilat 41:9 are separate than the 4 aeons in Surah Fussilat 41:10, that means the mountains were created on day 3, according to Surah Fussilat 41:10.<br /><br />This would contradict the Hadith I mentioned because either the mountains were created on day 2 or 3. Therefore, Zakir Naik's answer contradicts this Hadith.<br /><br /><br />The only plausible explanation is:<br />2 of the first 4 "ayam" (aeons) mentioned in Surah Fussilat 41:10 are the SAME "ayam" (aeons) mentioned in Surah Fussilat 41:9. The last 2 aeons in Surah Fussilat 41:12 add to the previous 4. The total comes to 6 aoens.IslamicRepliesnoreply@blogger.com
