How do we reconcile Allah's creation of the heavens and the earth in six days with His eternality and the fact that time does not pass Him by, given that the passage of time contradicts eternality? And what about the issue of angels carrying the Throne? And is Allah, Glory be to Him, affected by Earth's gravity?

Firstly: Allah Almighty is the First, the Creator of all things, of time and place. His creation of the heavens and the earth in six days does not mean that time preceded Him; rather, time is the measure of the movement of created celestial bodies.

Secondly: Allah willed for the Throne to have bearers, and this has no relation to earthly gravity. Allah holds all things by His power, and His attributes, the Exalted, do not resemble the attributes of humans.
