Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (The Day the sky will be in turmoil)
We begin this session, as is our custom, by explaining verses from the Book of Allah, Mighty and Majestic,where we previously ended with the saying of Allah the Exalted:
(9) On the Day the heaven will sway with circular motion (10) And the mountains will pass on, departing - (11) Then woe, that Day, to the deniers,يَوْمَ تَمُورُ السَّمَاءُ مَوْراً * وَتَسِيرُ الْجِبَالُ سَيْراً * فَوَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
[Surat al-Tur: 9-11] .

This phrase, or rather this single word:
On the Day the heaven will swayيَوْمَ تَمُورُ السَّمَاءُ
[At-Tur 52:9]
related to His saying:
Indeed, the punishment of your Lord will occur.إِنَّ عَذَابَ رَبِّكَ لَوَاقِعٌ
[Surat al-Tur: 7] meaning: that the punishment will occur on that day, the day the sky will be in turmoil and the mountains will be moved, so woe on that day to the deniers.

His statement:
On the Day the heaven will sway with circular motionيَوْمَ تَمُورُ السَّمَاءُ مَوْراً
[At-Tur 52:9]
One might think that the noun here (turmoil) is merely for emphasis, but that is not the case; rather, it is to indicate the magnification of this situation,and "turmoil" means: the disturbance,Meaning: that the sky will be disturbed, split, and open up, differing from its current state, as Allah the Exalted said:
(1) When the sky breaks apart (2) And when the stars fall, scattering, (3) And when the seas are erupted (4) And when the [contents of] graves are scattered, (5) A soul will [then] know what it has put forth and kept back.إِذَا السَّمَاءُ انفَطَرَتْ * وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انتَثَرَتْ * وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ * وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ * عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَا قَدَّمَتْ وَأَخَّرَتْ
[Surat al-Infitar: 1-5] No human can imagine or know the reality of that day, but we know the meaning by what Allah has informed us about it, while the reality is something beyond what we imagine now.
