sTs: Did Allah create the woven sky instantaneously or in two days?

sTs, you wrote to M. Tovey:

>>When God wants to create something, He just says BE and there IT IS<<

Why then did Allah take six days to create the universe? Koran 7:54, 10:3, 11:7

YUSUFALI: 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 o'er 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!.

And in 41:9-12 Allah forgets that he took only six days to create the universe and says he took eight days 41:9-12.

Why would anybody who claims he can create the universe instantaneously labour for six/eight days to do the job??

Regards

Plato
