Allah said;
[يَوْمَ تَمُورُ السَّمَآءُ مَوْراً ]
(On the Day when Tamur the heaven Mawr) Ibn `Abbas and Qatadah said: "Shaking violently.'' Also from Ibn `Abbas, "Split.'' Mujahid said: "Spin violently.'' Ad-Dahhak commented on the Ayah, saying, "The earth will violently spin and move by the command of Allah, and its areas will violently move towards each other.'' This was preferred by Ibn Jarir, because of the meaning of the word, Mawra, which denotes meanings of spinning and shaking. Allah said,
[وَتَسِيرُ الْجِبَالُ سَيْراً ]
(And Tasir the mountains will Sayr.) will fade away and become scattered particles of dust blown away by the wind,
[فَوَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ]
(Then woe that Day to those who denied), woe to them that Day as a result of Allah's torment, punishment and affliction that He will direct at them,
[الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى خَوْضٍ يَلْعَبُونَ ]
(Those who were in their falsehood, playing.) meaning, they live in this life in falsehood and make the religion the subject of their mockery and jest,
[يَوْمَ يُدَعُّونَ]
(The Day when they will be pushed down by force) meaning, they will be violently driven and shoved,
[إِلَى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ دَعًّا]
(to the fire of Hell, with a horrible, forceful pushing.) Mujahid, Ash-Sha`bi, Muhammad bin Ka`b, Ad-Dahhak, As-Suddi and Ath-Thawri said that this Ayah means, "They will be violently shoved into the Fire.'' Allah said,
[هَـذِهِ النَّارُ الَّتِى كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ ]
(This is the Fire, which you used to deny.) meaning, the angels of punishment will say these words to them, while admonishing and chastising them,
[أَفَسِحْرٌ هَـذَا أَمْ أَنتُمْ لاَ تُبْصِرُونَ اصْلَوْهَا]
(Is this magic or do you not see Enter therein) meaning, enter the Fire, `which will encircle you from every direction,'
[فَاصْبِرُواْ أَوْ لاَ تَصْبِرُواْ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ]
(and whether you are patient of it or impatient of it, it is all the same.) `whether you endure its torment and afflictions or not, you will never avert it or be saved from it,'
[إِنَّمَا تُجْزَوْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ]
(You are only being requited for what you used to do.) and surely, Allah is never unjust with anyone. Most certainly, Allah recompenses each according to their deeds.
[إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّـتٍ وَنَعِيمٍ - فَـكِهِينَ بِمَآ ءَاتَـهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَوَقَـهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيمِ ]
[كُلُواْ وَاشْرَبُواْ هَنِيئَاً بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ - مُتَّكِئِينَ عَلَى سُرُرٍ مَّصْفُوفَةٍ وَزَوَّجْنَـهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍ ]
(17. Verily, those who have Taqwa will be in Gardens and Delight.) (18. Enjoying in that which their Lord has bestowed on them, and (the fact that) their Lord saved them from the torment of the blazing Fire.) (19. "Eat and drink with happiness because of what you used to do.'') (20. They will recline on thrones Masfufah. And We shall marry them to Hur (fair females) with wide lovely eyes.)
