Surah takwir

Imam Ahmad recorded from Ibn `Umar that the Messenger of Allah said, (Whoever wishes to look at the Day of Judgement as if he is seeing it with his own eyes, then let him read, (When the sun is wound round.) (81:1) (and; (When the heaven is cleft asunder.) (82:1) (and; (When the heaven is split asunder.) (84:1)) Likewise, At-Tirmidhi has also recorded this Hadith.

1.” When the sun will be folded up”, (Kuwwirat-folded up is that part of it will be folded up into another part of it. Then it will be rolled up and thrown away. When this is done to it, its light will go away. Al-Bukhari recorded from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet SAWS said, - (The sun and the moon will be rolled up on the Day of Judgement.)

2. ” and When the stars fall, losing their lustre (scarttered) ” this is as allah says in the another verses “(And when the stars have fallen and scattered.) (82:2)” Ar-Rabi` bin Anas reported from Abu Al-`Aliyah, who reported from Ubayy bin Ka`b that he said, "Six signs will take place before the Day of Judgement. The people will be in their marketplaces when the sun's light will go away. When they are in that situation, the stars will be scattered. When they are in that situation, the mountains will fall down upon the face of the earth, and the earth will move, quake and be in a state of mixed up confusion. So the Jinns will then flee in fright to the humans and the humans will flee to the Jinns. The domestic beasts, birds and wild animals will mix together, and they will surge together in a wave (of chaos).

3.” and when the mountains will be set in motion” meaning, they will not remain in their places and they will be destroyed. Then the earth will be left as a flat, level plain

4. “and when the ten-months pregnant she-camels will be abandoned”
this means Their owners will neglect them.'' Ar-Rabi` bin Khuthaym said, "They will not be milked or tied up. Their masters will leave them abandoned.'' Ad-Dahhak said, "They will be left with no one to tend to them.'' And the meaning of all of these statements is similar. What is intended is that the `Ishar is a type of camel. It is actually the best type of camel, and particularly the pregnant females of them when they have reached the tenth month of their pregnancies. One of them is singularly referred to as `Ushara', and she keeps that name until she gives birth. So the people will be too busy to tend to her, take care of her or benefit from her, after she used to be the most important thing to them. This will be due to what will suddenly overtake them of the great, terrifying and horrible situation. This is the matter of the Day of Judgement, the coming together of its causes, and the occurrence of those things that will happen before it.

5. “and when the wild beasts will be gathered together”
allah says in another verse “There is not a moving creature on earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but are communities like you. We have neglected nothing in the Book, then unto their Lord they shall be gathered” (6:38) Ibn `Abbas said, "Everything will be gathered, even the flies.'' This statement was recorded by Ibn Abi Hatim. Allah also says, “And (so did) the birds assembled.” [38:19] meaning, gathered.

6. “And when the seas become as blazing fire” -
Ibn Jarir recorded from Sa`id bin Al-Musayyib that `Ali said to a Jewish man, "Where is the Hell'' The man said, "The sea.'' `Ali then said, "I think he is truthful, as Allah says “And by the seas kindled (Masjur)” (52:6) .Then he (Ubayy) went on to say, "The Jinns will say, We come to you with news.' So they will all go to the sea, and it will be a blazing fire. While they are in that state, the earth will be split with one huge crack that will extend from the lowest, seventh earth to the highest, seventh heaven. So while they are in that state, a wind will come that will kill all of them.'' Ibn Jarir recorded this narration with this wording.

7. ”and when the people will be arranged in categories” meaning, every type (of soul) will be gathered with its peer (or mate). This is as Allah says (It will be said to the angels): "Assemble those who did wrong, together with their companions (from the devils)” (37:22). Ibn Abi Hatim recorded from An-Nu`man bin Bashir that the Messenger of Allah said -And When the souls are joined with their mates. Those who are alike. Every man will be with every group of people who performed the same deeds that he did- (This is because Allah says, “(And you (all) will be in three groups. So those on the Right Hand - how (fortunate) will be those on Right Hand! And those on the Left Hand - how (unfortunate) will be those on the Left Hand!) ! And the Foremost are the foremost”(56: 7-10)

8. “and when the girl-child that was buried alive will be asked”

9. “for what sin she was killed” the people of the pre-Islamic time of ignorance would bury in the dirt due to their hatred of girls. Therefore, on the Day of Judgement, the female infant will be asked what sin she committed that caused here to be murdered. This will be a means of frightening her murderer. "She will ask, meaning she will demand restitution for her blood.

I had common land with a Jew, and the Jew later on denied my ownership, so I took him to the Prophet who asked me whether I had a proof of my ownership. When I replied in the negative, the Prophet asked the Jew to take an oath. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! He will take an oath and deprive me of my property." So, Allah revealed the following verse: "Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of Allah's covenant and their oaths." (3.77)
