The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
On the Day when the sky will shake violently [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.
