The Quran - No Contradictions

I’m surprised no one mentioned this, but… how about using a dictionary?

I think the asker has an issue with the word ثُمَّ (“thumma”), translated as “then” in 41:11. If one reads 41:9–12 while translating the word ثُمَّ as “then”, that person may think that the Qur’an is implying that the earth was created before the universe.

When reading anything from a language you are not familiar with, you need to use a dictionnary.

you can search an arabic word using its root letters. It will give you its differents meanings and, if you wish, you can even check various classical arabic dictionnaries to verify the information.

That’s exactly what I did.

Quran has a Contradiction saying Allah Created the Heavens and the Earth in 6 days and in other ...

2:29 says God created earth and applied his design on sky. Sky was already there in pre-formed state (read 41:9 and 12). God only organized it later.

Then in 79:30, God describes creation of heaven then he explains EXPANSION of earth NOT creation. The initiation of creation of heaven and earth occurred within 2 aeons with overlapping of at least some part (as when making of earth was finished, sky was already there as smoke). Later heaven was organized and decorated. As well as the earth was expanded and decorated with mountain and water (79:30–33 and 49:11). Initial creation of earth and sky took 2 aeons (not day) and further decoration took 4 aeons

1 day is equal to 1000 Years or 50000 Years in the Sight of Allah?

Q 22:47 states that Allah has already decreed the coming of the punishment. And a period in the sight of Allah is like a thousand years of our reckoning.

Q 70:4 states that the angels and the Ruh (spirit/Angel **riel) ascends to Him in a period of fifty thousand years.

The verses are not discussing the same thing. The first verse talks about a day in God's sight and the second one speaks of the period when angels will ascend to Him. Also, notice how verse 70:4 never mentions human years/reckoning. The Arabic phrase mimaa ta'udoon is absent, which leaves human beings to ponder over it. Seeing as none of these verses refer to the same thing, it cannot possibly be considered a contradiction.

he Quran - No Contradictions
That's a contradiction, which even the Quran acknowledges by having its ways of dealing with them.
