Is There A Contradiction In Length Of Day In Quran
In the Quran, different verses seem to mention different lengths of a “day” in the sight of God. For example
Surah As-Sajda (32:5):
“He regulates the affair from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him in a Day the measure of which is a thousand years of your reckoning.”
Surah Al-Hajj (22:47):
“And they urge you to hasten the punishment. But Allah will never fail in His promise. And indeed, a day with your Lord is like a thousand years of what you count.”
But then we have:
Surah Al-Ma’arij (70:4):
“The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a Day the measure of which is fifty thousand years.”
How should we understand these differences? Are these metaphorical, contextual, or referring to different events? Is this a contradiction, or is there a reconciled explanation based on the context or usage?

it could have contradiction if it has different day length for same work. But here is is different work with different time frame.
Surah 32:5 (As-Sajda) and Surah 22:47 (Al-Hajj) : 1 day = 1000 human years (related to management of affairs from heaven to earth).Surah 70:4 (Al-Ma’arij): 1 day = 50,000 human years (related to Judgement day)
These are just for reference to show that it might seem delay to you but for God its may be just matter of blink of eye
Ghamidi sb consider it from Ayat e mutashabihat and says that it just to tell that dont compare God timing with our own timings
