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).

(Ayah 11) {وَ اِذَا السَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ : ’’كَشَطَ‘‘ (ض) ’’اَلشَّيْءَ‘‘} To remove from something that which was covering it. {’’كَشَطَ الْبَعِيْرَ‘‘} To remove the skin of a camel. The veil of the sky over the higher world, which is stretched over it like a skin, will be removed and folded up. (Tabari) As Allah Almighty says: «يَوْمَ نَطْوِي السَّمَآءَ كَطَيِّ السِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِ» [ الأنبیاء : ۱۰۴] "The Day when We will fold up the heaven like the folding of a scroll for writings." After the skin is removed, the higher world will become manifest before everyone.

The Literal Meaning of ﴿كَشَطَ﴾:

﴿كُشِطَتْ﴾ ﴿كَشَطَ البعير﴾ means to skin a camel, and ﴿كشاط﴾ means the removed skin, and ﴿كشاط﴾ means the butcher or flayer who skins. From this verse, it is also understood that the sky is not just a solid body, but there is also a covering of skin over its body, and just as after skinning, the inner organs of the body become visible, similarly, after the sky is skinned, those things of the higher world will become visible which are not seen today.
