From the wording of the text it appears that at first the whole universe was a single mass of matter then it was split into different parts and the earth and the other heavenly bodies were formed.
In Surah Ha-Mim Allah says further.
In Surah Ha-Mim Allah says further.
Here, the commentators generally have been confronted with this question if it is admitted that the creation of the earth took two days and the setting up of the mountains and placing of the provisions and blessings in it took four days and the creation of the heavens as mentioned below took another two days the total number of the days would be eight whereas at several places in the Quran Allah has said that the creation of the earth and heavens took six days in all.
For example see "Surah Al- Aaraf, Ayat 54", "Surah Younus Ayat 3", "Surah Houd, Ayat 7", "Surah Al-Furqan, Ayat 59". On this very basis almost all the commentators agree that these four days include the two days of the creation of the earth. That is two days were taken for the creation of the earth and two days for the creation of the rest of the things within the earth, as mentioned below. Thus the earth along with its provisions became complete in four days in all. But this not only is against the apparent words of the Quran but the difficulty also is in fact an imaginary difficulty to avoid which a need for this interpretation has been felt. The two days of the creation of the earth are in fact not separate from the two days in which this universe as a whole was created. If we consider the following verses we see that in them the creation of both the earth and the heavens has been mentioned together and then it has been stated that Allah made the seven heavens in two days. These seven heavens imply the whole universe one part of which is also our earth. Then when like the other countless stars and planets of the universe this earth also took the shape of a unique globe within two days Allah began to prepare it for animate creatures and in four days created in it all those provisions which have been mentioned in the above verse. What development works were carried out in the other stars and planets in these four days have not been mentioned by Allah for not to speak of the man of the period of the revelation of the Quran even the man of the present age does not have the capability to digest and assimilate this information.
