Commentary 34:30 “Appointment of a day” is a period of one year in the measure of Prophets, and one thousand years or more in the measure of Allâh (cf. 22:47; see also…
قُل لَّكُم مِّيعَادُ يَوْمٍ لَّا تَسْتَأْخِرُونَ عَنْهُ سَاعَةً وَلَا تَسْتَقْدِمُونَ
34:30 “Appointment of a day” is a period of one year in the measure of Prophets, and one thousand years or more in the measure of Allâh (cf. 22:47; see also 6:57; 8:32; 13:6 ; 20:102; 32:5). The same question is repeated in verse 36:49. The battle of Badr took place exactly one year after the Holy Prophet (pbuh) left Makkah. (See also here the prophecy in Isaiah 21.11-17; Kaidâr was the son of Ismâ‘îl who was the son of Abraham).
