Surah 77. Al-Mursalat
Ayah 8 - 15
٨. فَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ طُمِسَتْ
٩. وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ فُرِجَتْ
١٠. وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ
١١. وَإِذَا ٱلرُّسُلُ أُقِّتَتْ
١٢. لِأَىِّ يَوْمٍ أُجِّلَتْ
١٣. لِيَوْمِ ٱلْفَصْلِ
١٤. وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ
١٥. وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
[8-15] Then, when the stars become dim4 and the heaven is rent asunder,5 and the mountains are thrashed into dust, and the time of the Messengers' appointment comes6 (that Day it shall happen). For what day has all this been deferred? For the Day of Decision. And what do you know what the Day of Decision is? Woe on that Day to the deniers (of Truth)!7
4That is, when they lose their light and lustre.
5"When the heaven is rent asunder": when the system and discipline of the heavens under which every star and planet is established and moving in its orbit and everything in the universe is adhering to the bounds set for it, is broken.
6At several places in the Qur'an it has been stated that when the case of mankind will be presented before Allah on the Day of Resurrection, the Messenger of every nation will be called upon to testify that he had conveyed Allah's Messages intact to his people. This will be Allah's first and major argument against the culprits and the wicked people to prove that they were themselves responsible for their wrong attitude and conduct in life, for there had been no negligence on the part of Allah to show guidance and administer warnings . For instance, see AI-A`raf: 172, 173 and E.N.'s 134, 135, Az-Zumar: 69 and E.N. 80, Al-Mulk:8 and E.N. 14.
7"Deniers of Truth": those people who took the news of the coming of Resurrection as a lie, and spent their lives in the world under the delusion that the time would never come when they would have to present themselves before their God and render an account of their deeds.
