*WHEN THE PEOPLE ARE BROUGHT OUT OF GRAVES.... 82.1-4*

 

*إِذَا السَّمَآءُ انفَطَرَتْ*

 

*When the sky breaks apart*

 

*وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انتَثَرَتْ*

 

*And when the stars fall, scattering,*

 

*وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ فُجِّرَتْ*

 

*And when the seas are erupted*

 

*وَإِذَا الْقُبُورُ بُعْثِرَتْ*

 

*And when the [contents of] graves are scattered,*

 

_In the first three ayaat Allah ﷻ describes the first stage of the Resurrection._

 

_“the sky will break apart, the stars will fall, scattered and the seas will erupt.”_

 

* Then people will be brought out of their graves *

 

📍The word bu’thirat [بُعْثِرَتْ] means “searched"

 

_ As their graves are hurled about people will be resurrected to face the reckoning and receive their reward and punishment._

 

▪ Upon witnessing the violent scenes narrated above they will feel insecure.

 

▪ Their only hope will be in their Lord, their Creator.

 

Man’s heart is thus made to turn to the Only True Being to seek His support and security.
