Explanatory Note
This part of the sūrah with its scenes of the Day of Judgement, and its reference to the destruction of past communities for their rejection of the truth is closely linked to the main theme of the sūrah which aims to establish the true faith, free from all distortion.
Horror is seen in its every detail as well as in people’s hearts. Here we see firm mountains disappearing. What then will happen to hearts? The whole earth will appear void and barren, without hills, mountains, slopes or valleys to block anyone’s view. The same applies to hearts and consciences: they will be unable to hide anything away.
