Question:
He inquires about the noble verse in Surat al-Naml, I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan: [al-Naml:88]?
Answer:
This is the Day of Resurrection, when they will pass by like clouds. On the Day of Resurrection, as He said—(Exalted and Majestic is He): [Ta-Ha:105] And in the other verse: [al-Naba':20] meaning: on the Day of Resurrection. Yes, that is not the case in this world. In this world, they are stationary, calm, and firm. Allah established them and made them pegs for the earth in the state of this world. He said, the Exalted: [al-Nahl:15], meaning the mountains, meaning: lest they shake you; lest they make you tremble. And on the Day of Resurrection, these mountains will move, and they will go and crumble, as He said, the Exalted: [al-Naba':20] He said, the Exalted: [Taha 20:105] فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعًا صَفْصَفًا لا تَرَى فِيهَا عِوَجًا وَلا أَمْتًا [Ta-Ha:105-107], yes.
He inquires about the noble verse in Surat al-Naml, I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan:
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 تَفْعَلُونَAnswer:
This is the Day of Resurrection, when they will pass by like clouds. On the Day of Resurrection, as He said—(Exalted and Majestic is He):
And they ask you about the mountains, so say, "My Lord will blow them away with a blast.
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْجِبَالِ فَقُلْ يَنسِفُهَا رَبِّي نَسْفًاAnd the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.
وَسُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًاAnd He has cast into the earth firmly set mountains, lest it shift with you
وَأَلْقَى فِي الأَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ أَنْ تَمِيدَ بِكُمْMountains
رَوَاسِيَLest it shake you
أَنْ تَمِيدَAnd the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.
وَسُيِّرَتِ الْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًاAnd they ask you about the mountains, so say, "My Lord will blow them away with a blast.
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْجِبَالِ فَقُلْ يَنسِفُهَا رَبِّي نَسْفًا
