The Three Types of Burdens the Earth Will Cast Out:
There will be three types of burdens inside the earth.
(1) The minerals of the earth, the buried treasures of gold and jewels, likewise the reserves of liquids and gases for which mankind used to wander restlessly in the world, employing unlawful and forbidden means to acquire them, fighting and quarreling with one another, and one country waging war against another. On that day, the earth will cast out all such treasures, but on that day, mankind will have no concern for them. They will be of no use to anyone.
(2) The burden of buried dead, that is, from our master Adam ؑ to the Day of Resurrection, all the humans who will be buried inside the earth, and most of them will have mixed with the soil and become dust. The earth will cast out all their components. These very components will be joined together by Allah’s command, and every human will be granted a body.
(3) Those parts of the earth upon which any human performed a good or bad deed, which in common language is called circumstantial or situational evidence. These very parts of the earth will be presented in Allah’s court as witnesses against the criminals, and they will testify.
