54:6 Al-Qamar (The Moon)

يقول تعالى لرسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم: قد بان أن المكذبين لا حيلة في هداهم، فلم يبق إلا الإعراض عنهم والتولي عنهم، [فقال:] { فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ } وانتظر بهم يوما عظيما وهولا جسيما، وذلك حين { يدعو الداع } إسرافيل عليه السلام { إِلَى شَيْءٍ نُكُرٍ } أي: إلى أمر فظيع تنكره الخليقة، فلم تر منظرا أفظع ولا أوجع منه، فينفخ إسرافيل نفخة، يخرج بها الأموات من قبورهم لموقف القيامة

يقول تعالى فتول يا محمد عن هؤلاء الذين إذا رأوا آية يعرضوا ويقولوا هذا سحر مستمر أعرض عنهم وانتظرهم "يوم يدع الداع إلى شيء نكر" أي إلى شيء منكر فظيع وهو موقف الحساب وما فيه من البلاء والزلازل والأهوال.

The terrible End the Disbelievers will meet on the Day of Resurrection

Allah the Exalted says, `O Muhammad, turn away from these people who, when they witness a miracle, they deny it and say that this is continuous magic.' Turn away from them and wait until,

يَوْمَ يَدْعُو الدَّاعِ إِلَى شَىْءٍ نُّكُرٍ

(The Day that the caller will call (them) to a terrible thing.) to the Recompense and the afflictions, horrors and tremendous hardships that it brings forth,

خُشَّعاً أَبْصَـرُهُمْ

(with humbled eyes), their eyes will be covered with disgrace,

يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الاٌّجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُّنتَشِرٌ

(they will come forth from (their) graves as if they were locusts spread abroad.) They will gather towards the area of Reckoning in such haste and crowds, in response to the caller, as if they were crowds of locusts spreading all about. Allah said,

مُهْطِعِينَ

(Hastening) meaing hurriedly,

إِلَى الدَّاعِ

(towards the caller.) without being able to hesitate or slow down,

يَقُولُ الْكَـفِرُونَ هَـذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ

(The disbelievers will say: "This is a hard Day."), meaing, `this is a hard, terrible, horrifying and distressful Day,'

فَذَلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ - عَلَى الْكَـفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ

(Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day -- far from easy for the dis- believers.) (74:9-10)

So turn away from them! this is the import of the preceding statement and it completes what is being said. On the day when the Summoner namely Isrāfīl yawma ‘the day’ is rendered accusative by yakhrujūna ‘they will emerge’ next verse summons to an awful thing read nukur or nukr in the sense of munkar ‘disagreeable’ a thing which the souls will find awful and this is the Reckoning;

وَكُلُّ أَمْرٍ‌ مُّسْتَقِرٌّ‌ (...while every matter has to be settled....54:3). The literal meaning of the word istiqrar is to settle. The verse means that everything must ultimately reach its end and the matter must become clear. If a veil is fabricated and cast over the truth or reality, eventually [ in its designated time ] the false veil will be removed and the truth and falsehood will be clearly distinguished.
