Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The second verse: [Ad-Dukhan 44:10].
The Shaykh : It means: wait for the Day when the sky will come with a visible smoke. It was said that this smoke is the drought that struck the Quraysh when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) invoked a curse upon them, asking Allah to make their years seven years like the years of Yusuf. A severe drought struck them, and a person would look at the sky and it would appear to have smoke in it due to the dust, the lack of clarity, and the absence of clouds. It was also said that the smoke referred to is the smoke that will be one of the signs of the Hour, which has not yet come. Yes.
Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke.
