Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (And the mountains will be moved)

Allah the Exalted said:
And the mountains will pass on, departing -وَتَسِيرُ الْجِبَالُ سَيْراً
[Surat al-Tur: 10] Meaning: they will be moved with a great movement. This is because the mountains will become scattered dust, flying about just as clouds fly about, and they will be moved with a great, tremendous movement due to the severity of the terror of that Day. This verse indicates that the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, in Surat al-Naml:
And you see the mountains, thinking them rigid, while they will pass as the passing of clouds. [It is] the work of Allah, who perfected all things. Indeed, He is Acquainted with that which you do.وَتَرَى الْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَهِيَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ السَّحَابِ صُنْعَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي أَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ إِنَّهُ خَبِيرٌ بِمَا تَفْعَلُونَ
[Surat al-Naml: 88] because this verse is the same as the verse in al-Tur in terms of meaning,So His saying, Blessed and Exalted is He:
And you see the mountains, thinking them rigid, while they will pass as the passing of cloudsوَتَرَى الْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَهِيَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ السَّحَابِ
[Surat al-Naml: 88] Meaning: on the Day of Resurrection, without a doubt,And whoever interpreted it : that this is in this world, and that it is evidence that the earth rotates, has distorted the words from their places and said about Allah what he does not know.
Exegesis of the Qur'an is not an easy matter; because exegesis of the Qur'an means that you are testifying that Allah intended such and such by it, so there must be evidence, either from the Qur'an itself, or from the Sunnah, or from the exegesis of the Companions. As for a person turning the Qur'an to the meaning he sees with his mind or his opinion, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Whoever interprets the Qur'an with his own opinion, let him take his seat in the Fire) .

And the important thing is that this exegesis, namely that His saying:
And you see the mountains, thinking them rigid, while they will pass as the passing of cloudsوَتَرَى الْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَهِيَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ السَّحَابِ
[Surat al-Naml: 88] Intended in this world is a false exegesis, which is not permissible to rely upon or depend upon. As for whether the earth rotates or not? That is known from another evidence, either by observing reality, or by the Qur'an, or by the Sunnah. It is never permissible to attribute to the Qur'an meanings it does not indicate in order to support a theory or a factual matter that the wording does not indicate; because this is a very serious matter.
