Mountains Like Sand
يَوۡمَ تَرۡجُفُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَٱلۡجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ كَثِيبࣰا مَّهِيلًا ١٤
On the day when the earth and the hills rock, and the hills become a heap of running sand.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
On the Day the earth and mountains quake and the mountains become a heap of sand.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, everything will be shaken in this great upheaval, but the melting of the towering mountains especially points to the fall of the mighty.
Reflect
Show humility in something where you see yourself as great.
