Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And you see the mountains, thinking them stationary"

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, one of them cited this verse as evidence for the rotation of the earth, which is the saying of Allah the Exalted: Is this a correct interpretation?

The Shaykh:
No, this is speaking about Allah without knowledge. The verse is in the context of the Day of Resurrection, when the Hour stands and the mountains move. The mountains will move and become like dust in the air. The massive, stationary mountains will be blown away and become like dust in the air, like smoke. This is when the Hour stands. It is not the case now. We see the mountains now fixed in their places. We have never seen them moved from their places. So this is fabrication and speaking about Allah without knowledge. The problem is that they interpret the Qur'an with these falsehoods. If it were just their own fabrication and not related to the Qur'an, the matter would be light, but they make it an interpretation of the Qur'an. This is not permissible. Yes.

The presenter:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the victim is able to...

The Shaykh:
(Exalted and Majestic is He) says: This refers to the dust that rises when the Hour stands and the great terrors occur. It is not the case now that the mountains are stable and firmly planted. Yes, Allah called them firmly planted and placed firmly planted mountains on top of them. And these people say that they fly away and that they are no longer firmly planted. Yes.
