Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

(Ayah 9) {يَوْمَ تَمُوْرُ السَّمَآءُ مَوْرًا: ’’مَارَ يَمُوْرُ مَوْرًا‘‘} (n) The rapid movement of something and shaking forcefully back and forth and to the right and left, overturning, spinning. {’’ مَوْرًا ‘‘} is a verbal noun for emphasis, therefore it is translated as "severe shaking." {’’ يَوْمَ ‘‘ ’’ لَوَاقِعٌ ‘‘} is its adverbial phrase, meaning the punishment of your Lord will occur on the day when there will be a severe shaking in the sky and it will spin with great speed and eventually split apart. For the states that will occur to the sky on the Day of Resurrection, see Surah Al-Furqan (25), Ar-Rahman (37), Al-Haqqah (16), Al-Ma'arij (8), Al-Muzzammil (18), Al-Mursalat (9), An-Naba (19), At-Takwir (11), Al-Infitar (1), Al-Inshiqaq (1), Ibrahim (48), Al-Anbiya (104), and Surah Az-Zumar (67).

On the Day when the sky will shake violently [7],

[7]
The Literal Meaning of "Mawr":
Tamur — The basic concept in the root "mar" is movement and swiftness. ﴿النَّاقَة تَمُوْرُ فِي سَيْرِهَا﴾ means a she-camel moving so swiftly that it raises dust as it goes (Mufradat), and "mur" means to become dust and fly in the air (Fiqh al-Lughah), and ﴿مارَالشَّي﴾ means for something to shake back and forth, tremble, and lose balance due to rapid movement (Munjid). Thus, on that day, the very structure of the sky will be shaken; it will tremble, quake, sway, stagger, and eventually break apart into particles and begin to fly away.
