Answer:

Creation of universe verse

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Your Question: My question is actually this question came from one of Christan friend. also for my knowledge too.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah Anbiya verse 30:

30 Do not the Unbelievers see that the Heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit or mass) before We clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 41 Surah Haa Meem berses 9-12:

9 Say: Is it that ye deny Him Who created the earth in two Days? And do ye join equals with Him? He is the Lord of (all) the Worlds.

10 He set on the (earth) mountains standing firm high above it and bestowed blessings on the earth and measured therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion in four Days in accordance with (the needs of) those who seek (sustenance).

11 Moreover He Comprehended in His design the sky and it had been (as) smoke: He said to it and to the earth: "Come ye together willingly or unwillingly." They said: "We do come (together) in willing obedience."

12 So He completed them as seven firmaments in two Days and He assigned to each heaven its duty and command. And We adorned the lower heaven with lights and (provided it) with guard. Such is the Decree of (Him) the Exalted in Might Full of knowledge.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah Aaraaf verse 54:

54 Your Guardian-Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six days and is firmly established on the Throne (of Authority): He draweth the night as a veil over the day each seeking the other in rapid succession: He created the sun the moon and the stars (all) governed by Laws under His Command. Is it not His to create and to govern? Blessed be Allah the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds!

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 57 Surah Hadid verse 4:

4 He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days and is moreover firmly established on the Throne (of Authority). He knows what enters within the earth and what comes forth out of it what comes down from heaven and what mounts up to it. And He is with you wheresoever ye may be. And Allah sees well all that ye do.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 32 Surah Sajdah verse 4:

4 It is Allah Who has created the heavens and the earth and all between them in six Days and is firmly established on the Throne (of Authority): ye have none besides Him to protect or intercede (for you): will ye not then receive admonition?

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 50 Surah Qaaf verse 38:

38 We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in Six Days, nor did any sense of weariness (so much so as even) touch Us!

Your Question: ….He wanted to know in what SUPARA and what SURA number it says about creation of world, when ALLAH said LET IT BE LIGHT....etc

1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3  And God said, ‘Let there be light’, and there was light.

4  And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5  And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Bible, King James Version, Book of Genesis v:1-5

The specific Command to the effect when the Creator specifically declared ‘Let there be light’…..at the time of its creation finds mention in the Bible, not in the Glorious Quran.

Below are quoted a few Verses of the Glorious Quran regarding the creation of the Sun and the Moon:

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 10 Surah Yunus verses 5-6:

5 It is He (Allah) Who made the sun to be a shining glory and the moon to be a (reflected) light, and measured out stages for her, that ye might know the number of years and the count (of time). Nowise did Allah create this but in Truth and righteousness. (Thus) doth He explain his Signs in detail for those who understand.

6 Verily in the alternation of the Night and the Day and in all that Allah hath created in the heavens and the earth are Signs for those who fear Him.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 71 Surah Nuh verses 15-16:

15 See ye not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another

16 And made the moon a light (reflected) in their midst, and made the sun as a (glorious) lamp?

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 25 Surah Furqaan verses 61-62:

61 Blessed is He Who made constellations in the skies and placed therein a Lamp (the Sun), and a Moon giving light.

62 And it is He Who made the Night and the Day to follow each other: for such as have the will to celebrate His Praises or to show their gratitude.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
