32:5
يُدَبِّرُ
الْأَمْرَ
مِنَ
السَّمَاءِ
إِلَى
الْأَرْضِ
ثُمَّ
يَعْرُجُ
إِلَيْهِ
فِي
يَوْمٍ
كَانَ
مِقْدَارُهُ
أَلْفَ
سَنَةٍ
مِّمَّا
تَعُدُّونَ
yudabbiru l-ʾamra mina s-samāʾi ʾilā l-ʾarḍi thumma yaʿruju ʾilayhi fī yawmin kāna miqdāruhū ʾalfa sanatin mimmā taʿuddūna
He directs the command from the heaven to the earth; then it ascends toward Him in a day whose span is a thousand years by your reckoning.
— Ali Quli Qarai
He rules (all) affairs from the heavens to the earth: in the end will (all affairs) go up to Him, on a Day, the space whereof will be (as) a thousand years of your reckoning.
