(Ayah 9){ اَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ اِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِي الْقُبُوْرِ:} That is, man is ungrateful to his Lord and, due to intense love for wealth, he falls short in fulfilling the rights of his Master. So, does he not know of that time when everything that is in the graves will be thrown out and all the dead within them will be brought out alive from the graves? {’’ اَفَلَا يَعْلَمُ ‘‘} (So does he not know of that time) means: does he not fear that time, thinking what answer he will give to his Master?
