This is a revelation from the Beneficent, the Merciful.
A scripture whose verses are clearly explained in detail, a Lecture in Arabic, for people who would learn. [7:158, 12:3, 13:37, 14:4, 25:1, 39:28, 42:7]
Good news and a warning. Yet, most of them turn away so that they do not hear.
And so they say, 'Our hearts are veiled from what you invite us to, and (consider) there is deafness in our ears, and that between us and you is a barrier. So, do as you will, and we do as we will.'
(O Prophet) say to them, 'I am only a human being like you. It has been revealed to me that your God is one and the same; the One and only God. So, take the straight path to Him and seek His forgiveness. There is great loss for those who choose gods besides God, [Mushrikeen = = Idolaters = Those who worship their own desires. Wayl = Woe = Ultimate loss = Destruction]
Those who do not contribute toward Zakaat and even deny the Hereafter.' [Disbelieving the Law of Just Recompense equals denying the Eternal life. Zakaat = The Just Economic Order. Aakhirah = Life to come = Life Hereafter = Future = The Ultimate Abode]
But those who accept the Divine revelation and contribute toward improvement of the society, shall have a reward unending
Say, 'What! Do you deny Him Who has created the earth in Two Eras? And would you still ascribe rivals to Him? He is the One, the Lord of the worlds.' [36:40, 79:30. Yaumayn = Two days = Two stages = Two Eras = Two Aeons = Indefinitely long periods]
And He is the One Who placed therein firm mountains towering above it, and bestowed enduring bliss upon it. And He measured therein its sustenance in Four Eras, alike for all who (invariably) need it. [39:67, 56:63-73. Six Eras or Stages: 41:9 Says 'Two Eras', 41:12 says 'Two Eras'. Thus, according to the Qur'an, the creation of the heavens and earth took place in Two Eras. The word Yaum here means a very long period. (A thousand years of your reckoning (32:5) or it may be fifty thousand years in certain cases (70:4). In scientific terms, the period of creation of the material world is called 'Azoic' or Lifeless. The Qur'an however, divides this period into two and calls it Two Eras. Modern scientific research throws some light on the division of Azoic Era into two: To begin with, the entire space was full of smoke (41:11). Smoke, as we know, is a mixture of gases and solid particles. Areas of condensation appeared later in this gas and the dust cloud, resulting in the formation of Prostars which further developed into stars. Some big meteorites became planets and smaller heavenly bodies. The division of one complete whole of Smoke to Prostars is a great event. Thus we may call the period before the division of the whole Smoke as Era-I of the creation of the Universe; and the period after this division until the appearance of life as Era- II. The Qur'an divides the time of creation after the appearance of life on the earth into Four Eras. Two plus Four makes 'Six Eras' of evolution. 32:4]
