Tafsir: Verses 1 & 2

The world will start shaking with its last tremor and throw out all its burden.

At another place, Allah said:

"O mankind, fear your Lord. Indeed, the convulsion of the [final] Hour is a terrible thing. (Qur'an 22 : 1).

At another place Allah said:

"And when the earth is stretched forth, and has cast out all that was within it and became empty." Qur'an 83: 3, 4

Muslim reported the Prophet (s) as saying: "The earth will throw out the pieces of its silver (its contents). Gold and silver will come out like columns. An assassin will regretfully say. 'Alas! I committed the sin of murder on it, it is lying here and nobody is looking at it.' Similarly, one who broke the ties if kinship will say, 'For the love of this I did not behave well with my relatives'. A thief will say, 'For the love if this I got my hands amputated.'

The wealth of the earth will remain lying there, unclaimed.
