Assalamu Alaikum Brothers in Islam, Allah Ta'ala Says in the Holy Qur'an : > "And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days - and > His Throne had been upon water " [Qur'an 11:7] And Allah's Messenger Muhammed (Peace and Blessings be upon him) said : > "Abdullah b. 'Amr b. al-'As reported: > > I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Allah ordained the measures > (of quality) of the creation fifty thousand years before he created > the heavens and the earth, as **His Throne was upon water**." [Sahih Muslim [2653\]][1] It is unanimously agreed that the Throne and the Water predated the creation of the heavens and earth. My Question is : Did Allah create the heavens and earth from the water? As in, was the '*Water*' that existed before the heavens and the earth, the primordial material from which Allah created the heavens and the earth? If yes, please give me citation from sources. Some of the scholars spoke about this but i'm unable to find concrete references and sources. Jazak Allahu Khayrun
