Explanatory Note

The sūrah moves straight on to tell us about the end they met, but without adding any detail: “But they denied him. Thus suffering overtook them on the day of the darkening cloud. It was indeed the suffering of an awesome day.” It is reported that they first suffered very hot weather that made breathing difficult and which weighed heavily on their lungs.Then they saw a cloud, which they welcomed and sought the shade it provided, feeling the coolness it initially gave them. But soon a great thunderbolt destroyed them all. This was the ‘day of the darkening cloud’, as the cloud was its most distinctive mark.
