Sura 101
Aya 5
5
وَتَكونُ الجِبالُ كَالعِهنِ المَنفوشِ

Yusuf Ali

And the mountains will be like carded wool.1
  • Cf. n. to 70:9. The mountains are solid things, which seem as if nothing could move them. But in that tremendous cataclysm they will be scattered about like flakes of teased or carded wool. This is a metaphor to show that what we consider very substantial in this life will be as an airy nothing in the spiritual world.
