How Many Days Was The Calamity On The Nation Of Aad?
The use of words like ‘ نَحۡسٍ ‘ as mentioned in ( 54:19 ) or ‘ الۡبُقۡعَۃِ الۡمُبٰرَکَۃِ ‘ as mentioned in ( 28:30 ) do not come as a general principle of declaring a day or any place cursed or blessed without any context. They all have certain schematics attached to it related to God’s overall scheme of things. For example, the day nation of ‘Aad’ were destroyed, it was not inherently a cursed day, but became cursed because of God’s wrath that came down on them because of their ‘sarkashi’ and it ended when they were all destroyed. It doesn’t mean that specific day will stay cursed till perpetuity. Same is the same with region of Tur that God chose to spoke to Prophet Moses (sws). Calling it a blessed patch again has to do with the overall scheme of God and as long as it remained like this, it stayed a blessed chosen place. But it as soon as the scheme of things related to Tur ended and changed, it lost its same status as being blessed and has nothing to do with being a blessed place till perpetuity. If you see things with this perspective, then I hope it will make some sense. Regarding the narration you posted about time (zamana), the following commentary of Ghamidi Sahab would be very helpful in understanding its meaning and its relationship with our time.
