It does not always denote the day as determined by the rising and setting of the sun. In the Quran has been spoken of as equal to one or even fifty thousand years (22:48; 70:5). Elsewhere in the Quran the division 2980 of these six days has been described in this wise; the making of the earth took two days; it took two more days for mountains, rivers, etc. , to be placed upon it, and another two days for the growth of vegetable and animal life on it. See also 10:4; 41:10-13. ✓ (weariness) is infinitive noun from which means, he was fatigued, tired or wearied to the utmost; he was languid in consequence of fatigue; he was wearied in spirit or mind (Lane & Aqrab). Commentary: It is a characteristic of the Quran that not only does it exonerate God's noble Prophets from all the vices and immoralities imputed to them in the Bible, but it also clears the Divine Being of the flaws and defects that are inconsistent with His Majesty and Holiness. The Bible depicts God as "having rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made" (Gen. 2:2) but according to the Quran no weariness can touch Him.
