al-Ṭūr

يَوْمَ تَمُورُ السَّمَاء مَوْرًا

وَتَسِيرُ الْجِبَالُ سَيْرًا

فَوَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ

الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي خَوْضٍ يَلْعَبُونَ

يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ إِلَی نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا

هَذِهِ النَّارُ الَّتِي كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ

9. The Day when the heaven shall shake with a dreadful shaking.

10. And the mountains shall move away with haste.

11. Then woe unto the beliers on such Day.

12. Who are immersed in falsehood preoccupied with vain talk [regarding Divine Signs].

13. The Day when they shall be pushed down by force to Hellfire with a forceful pushing.

14. This is the Fire which you used to recurrently belie.

The Arabic word mawr denotes speedy and circular, but disorderly and abyss like, movement, such that the wind scatters dust in the air and shakes everything. The word khawdh originally denotes "plunge into water and passing the same" but it is figuratively applied to being preoccupied with vanity and falsehood. The word da‘‘ designates pushing violently. It is worthy of note that all the world of existence has been created for man and when his affairs come to an end in this world, the world of existence shall be rolled up as well;

("The Day when the heaven shall shake with a dreadful shaking").

Thus it is also attested elsewhere in the Holy Qur’an:

"We shall roll up the heaven like a scroll."

It is only God Almighty Who is not subject to alteration. The seven heavens shall shake as well and change into waves in motion. The mountains which fixate the earth shall be restless on that Day;

"And the mountains shall move away with haste."

The blessed Verses nine to eleven are saying that following a reminder as to the Signs of His Mercy and the creation of all beings in the form of oaths, God Almighty is saying that in the same manner that everything is well-established in its proper place the heavens, the mountains, the seas, and the prosperous world and all beings have been recorded in the Preserved Tablet, the Divine Torment in store for those who deserve it is based upon order and justice and the same shall appear when the heaven shakes violently and mountains move away from their places.

The blessed Verses make a reference to the time of Resurrection saying that the material world which is established by Divine Order shall disintegrate upon Divine Will and changes into the Hereafter. In short, the material world shall be rolled up and the Hereafter shall appear. On such Day, wayl, which is said to be a bottomless pit for those who belied Divinely appointed Messengers and Prophets and attributed madness, sorcery, and lying to them.

The blessed Verses twelve to fourteen enumerate the characteristics of those who belie Prophets saying that they play in vanity with natural phenomena which are not well-established and are transient and unbefitting compared to spiritual affairs and Divine teachings, since their words and acts resemble children and lunatics, devoid of reason and insight. Had they not been preoccupied with vanity and attributing falsehood to Prophets nor had they called them sorcerers, liars, and lunatics, they would have perceived the truth.

"The Day when they shall be pushed down by force to Hellfire with a forceful pushing."

The adverb of manner da‘‘an ("with a forceful pushing") connotes that on such Day, Divine Torment shall fall into the share of disbelievers and they shall be pushed down by force to Hellfire and it shall be said unto them that it is the Fire against which you were warned by Prophets but you failed to investigate the veracity of their words and believe in truth; it was out of your prejudice and concupiscent desires that you regarded their words as legends and made attempts to bear animosity against Messengers of Truth and inflict harms upon them.
