Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Terrors of the Day of Resurrection, and how the Wrongdoers will wish that They had taken a Path with the MessengerHere Allah tells us about the terror of the Day of Resurrection and the tremendous events that will happen, including the splitting of heavens when they are pierced by the clouds, that is the shadow of the magnificent light which dazzles all sight.
