see for instance in verse 32.4, that is the verse before it (verse 32.5)The ''Day'' does not mean a day as we reckon it. viz., one apparent course of the sun round the earth, for it refers to conditions which began before the earth and the sun were created. In verse 32.5, a Day is compared to a thousand years of our reckoning, and in verse 70.4, to 50,000 years. These figures ''as we reckon'' have no relation to ''timeless Time'', and must be taken to mean very long Periods, or Ages, or AEons. see further verse 32.9-12.

32.9. But He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him something of His spirit. And He gave you (the faculties of) hearing and sight and feeling (and understanding): little thanks do ye give!

32.10. And they say: ''What! when we lie, hidden and lost, in the earth, shall we indeed be in a Creation renewed? Nay, they deny the Meeting with their Lord.

32.11. Say: ''The Angel of Death, put in charge of you, will (duly) take your souls: then shall ye be brought back to your Lord.''

32.12. If only thou couldst see when the guilty ones will bend low their heads before their Lord, (saying:) ''Our Lord! We have seen and we have heard: Now then send us back (to the world): we will work righteousness: for we do indeed ( now) believe.''

Therefor; How could the immense mystery of Time behind our ideas of it be enforced on our minds better? our day may be a thousand or fifty thousand years, and our years in proportion. in the immense Past was Allah's act of creation: it still continues, for HE guides, rules, and controls all affairs: and in the immense Future all affairs will go up to HIM, for HE will be the Judge, and HIS restoration of all values will be as in a Day or an Hour or the Twinkling of an eye; and yet to our ideas it will be as a thousand years!

here..- verse 70.4. The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years:
