Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do you reconcile the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He,
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنفُوشِ
[Al-Qari'ah 101:5]
with His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He, in this surah:
And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.وَسُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا
[An-Naba 78:20]


Answer:
The mountains have different states. This is understood to mean that the mountains undergo various conditions: at times they are like spun wool, at times they are scattered dust, and at times they are mirages. They have different states. Yes.
