Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Terrors of the Day of JudgementAllah says that the torment will befall the disbelievers.يَوْمَ تَكُونُ السَّمَآءُ كَالْمُهْلِ (The Day that the sky will be like the Al-Muhl.) Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, `Ata, Sa`id bin Jubayr, `Ikrimah, As-Suddi and others have all said, "Like the residue of oil."وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ (And the mountains will be like `Ihn.) meaning, like fluffed wool. This was said by Mujahid, Qatadah and As-Suddi.
