Time is relative. We know from Einstein that my
clock and your clock will not run at the same
rate. Time (or rate of our clocks) depends on
acceleration and/or gravity. If my clock
accelerates and/or is in a strong gravitational
field then it will run slower than your clock.
Quran 22.47 compares time on Earth with time
at Paradise/Hell (1 day vs 1000 years). While
Quran 70.4 compares time on Earth with time
in wormholes (1 day vs 50,000 years).


Moslems believe that Paradise and Hell are
both much bigger and much more massive than
Earth (but still much smaller than God's
Throne). The theory of general relativity says
that time passes slower near an object more
massive than Earth (clocks run slower in
stronger gravitational fields). So according to
general relativity, time should pass in Paradise/
Hell much slower than on Earth. Moslems say
that this is what Allah says. It is stated in the
Quran that 1 day in Paradise/Hell measures a
1000 years on Earth:
[Quran 22.47] They challenge you
to bring forth that torture [in Hell]
and Allah will not break His
promise; a day of your Lord
[Paradise/Hell promise] is like a
thousand years of what you count.
Here God promises those who do not believe in
Hell and punishment that each day of their
torture in Hell will measure a thousand years
on Earth. So according to the Quran, time
passes faster on Earth than in Paradise/Hell.
But this agrees with the theory of general
relativity which says that time passes slower
near bigger mass. Paradise and Hell are much
more massive than Earth and time should pass
there much slower than on Earth.
Christians believe that God created the
universe in 6 earthly days and rested on the
7th. Moslems believe that 6 days passed at
God's Throne but we experienced 13.7 billion
years on Earth: Moslems believe that God is not
bound to His Throne; rather He created it and
set it as a reference. The Quran says that
God's Throne is even wider than the whole
universe; so how about the mass of God's
Throne? God's Throne is much more massive
than Earth. Time should pass there much
slower than on Earth:
Our solar system is 4.57 billion years old. Earth
started accreting concurrently with the sun and
our neighbouring planets 4.57 bln years ago.
However the universe is 13.7 ± 0.2 bln years
old. This places the age of Earth at one third
the age of the universe (4.57 bln/13.7 bln =
1/3). Moslems say that this is what Allah says.
The Quran says that in God's Throne time
Earth is 2 days old while the Heavens, Earth
and everything in between are 6 days old (2/6 =
1/3):
[Quran 7.54] And your Lord,
Allah, who created the Heavens
and the Earth in six days and then
settled on the Throne ...
Those six days are on the Throne; so the frame
of reference for creation is the Throne, not
Earth.
[Quran 41.9] Say: "Is it that you
deny Him [Allah] who created the
Earth in two days? And you claim
others to be equal to Him? He is
the Lord of (all) the Worlds."
[Quran 50.38] And we have
created the Heavens and Earth
and EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
in six days and We were not
touched by fatigue.
All those days are on the Throne; the frame of
reference for creation is still the Throne. When
God says that He created the Heavens, Earth
and EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN (including you
and me) in six days this means that He is
referring to the period of existence. Earth has
been in existence for 2 days (out of 6).
Moslems believe that God sustains all living
things.

And all His commands to the angels to
sustain man and animals were inscribed on the
Preserved Tablet. The Quran says that not even
a leaf would drop on Earth without it being
previously recorded on this Preserved Tablet.
God says that He inscribed this Preserved
Tablet before the creation of Earth started; He
answered our prayers today (as commands for
the angels on the Preserved Tablet) during the
first four days when Earth was still smoke.

After this He ordered Earth to form:

[Quran 41.9-12] Say: "Is it that you
deny Him [Allah] who created the
Earth in two days? And you claim
others to be equal to Him? He is the
Lord of (all) the Worlds." He set on it
(Earth) mountains, and bestowed it
with blessings. And [Allah] estimated
all its sustenance in four days,
equally for those who ask (prayers)
AFTER THIS (Thumma in Arabic) [Allah]
commanded the heaven and it was
still smoke. He said to it and to Earth:
"Come together, willingly or
unwillingly." They said: "We do come
together, in willing obedience". So
[Allah] decreed them as seven
heavens (one above the other) in two
days and revealed to each heaven its
orders. And We [Allah] adorned the
lowest heaven with lights, and
protection. Such is the decree of the
Exalted; the Knowledgeable.
God answered our prayers today when Earth
was still smoke (the first four days). After this
(Thumma in Arabic) God ordered Earth to form.
The formation of Earth took two days. So our
prayers today are already answered on the
Preserved Tablet since before the formation of
Earth started. Also in the last two days God
created the seven superimposed heavens and
revealed their orders.


In God's Throne time, Earth is 2 days old while
the Heavens, Earth and everything in between
are 6 days old. This makes the age of Earth to
be one third the age of the universe (2/6 =
1/3). Similarly in Earth time, the age of Earth is
4.57 billion years while the age of the universe
is 13.7 billion years; this is also one third (4.57
bln/13.7 bln = 1/3). So it is the same ratio in
Earth time or in God's Throne time. The theory
of general relativity explains why time at God's
Throne passes slower than on Earth. General
relativity explains why 6 days passed at God's
Throne but we measured it as 13.7 billion years
(that is each day at God's Throne measures
around 2.28 billion years on Earth). So
according to the Quran:


God's Throne > Paradise/Hell >
Earth

The smaller the mass, the faster the time.


We are sure that time is relative, that is, the
age of the universe is different for
observers with clocks running at different
rates. For example, there exists an observer
who measures the age of the universe to be
3 billion years, however he also measures
the age of Earth to be 1 billion years. But the
Quran presented it as a ratio (1/3) and this
ratio turned out to be correct for any
observer (whatever the clock rate).
If the
Quran presented it in any form other than a
ratio it would have been wrong for different
observers.

Quran 32.5 is time vs distance; this gives us
speed of angels which turned out to be the
speed of light . However Quran 22.47 and

Quran 70.4 are time vs time (no distance); this
is time dilation. Quran 22.47 compares time of
Earth with time at Paradise/Hell (1 day vs 1000
years).

While Quran 70.4 compares time on
Earth with time in wormholes (1 day vs 50,000
years).


(The Christian Bible puts the creation of Earth
on day one; making the age of Earth equal to
the age of the universe. So the age of the
universe according to the Bible is six thousand
years).
