Sura 11
Aya 7
7
وَهُوَ الَّذي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ في سِتَّةِ أَيّامٍ وَكانَ عَرشُهُ عَلَى الماءِ لِيَبلُوَكُم أَيُّكُم أَحسَنُ عَمَلًا ۗ وَلَئِن قُلتَ إِنَّكُم مَبعوثونَ مِن بَعدِ المَوتِ لَيَقولَنَّ الَّذينَ كَفَروا إِن هٰذا إِلّا سِحرٌ مُبينٌ

Ahmed Ali

It is He who created the heavens and the earth In six spans, and has control1 over the waters (of life) so that he may bring out the best that everyone of you could do. Yet if you said to them: “You shall certainly be raised from the dead,” the unbelievers will say: “This will be nothing but sorcery.”
  • ‘Arsh though literally ‘throne’, is the seat and symbol of sovereign power, control. See also note to 4:1.
