six or eight days of creation? sura 7:54, 10:3, 11:7, and 25:59 clearly state that allah created "the heavens and the earth" in six days. but in 41:9-12 the detailed description of the creation procedure adds up to eight days.

Nomad1 did you copy from answering-islam.org ?? from where did you copy?
1. The creation of the earth took two (2) days;
2. the setting up of mountains, seas etc., and the provision of sustenance for living things on the earth took four (4) days; and
3. the making of the skies took two (2) days.
"These verses are not giving the number of days involved in three creations, but only two." It is not the earth, the mountains (etc.) and the skies that are under consideration, but only the earth and the skies. (The Reader is requested to have a look at these verses again, and see it for himself/herself). The portion: "And He set upon the earth mountains, towering high above it. He blessed it and provided it with sustenance for all those in need, alike, in four days", mentions only a continuation and finalisation of the process of the creation of the earth.
The Commentators understand the "four Days" in verse 10 to include the two Days in verse 9, so that the total for the universe comes to six Days. This is reasonable, because the processes described in verses 9 and 10 form really one series.
