Al-Qari'ah 101:4–5
Moths and mountains
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ ٤ وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ ٥
The meaning, simply
On that Day people, so many and scattered, will be like moths spread everywhere, and the mountains will be like fluffed coloured wool, light and passing away.

Words to understand
- كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
- scattered moths

- fluffed-up wool
Think with me
Mountains are strong and heavy, yet on that Day they become like wool. What does that teach us about Allah's power?
