Explanatory Note

Heaven, the mighty heaven, is opened up so that it becomes gates. It is, as described elsewhere in the Qur’an, rent asunder. So, it will look very unfamiliar to us. The firmly dug-in pegs, i.e. the mountains, are made to move away. They are hammered, scattered, turned into dust, blown by the wind, as other Qur’anic verses describe.

7. Period of Revelation

[ edit ]

The themes of all the Surahs, from Surah 75: al-Qiyamah (The Resurrection) to Surah 79: an-Nazi’at (The Extractors), closely resemble one another and all these seem to have been revealed in the earliest period at Makkah.
