99, verses 7-8 that say: So whoever has done an atom's weight of good shall behold it, And whoever who has done an atom '5 weight of evil shall behold it. (1) Sura Al-i-'Imran, verse 133, Sura Hadid, verse 21. This verse also makes reference to the personification of deeds. Our deeds apparently have an end and vanish in this world, but this will never be so. They will be personified (incarnated) in appropriate forms, in the next world, and present in the Hereafter.

Explanation: The Order of the Verses. In the current and prior verses twelve events, in relation to the Resurrection, are mentioned. The first six events relate to the first stage viz: the desolation of this world; and the second six events relate to the second stage, that is, the rebirth and new life after death.

In the first group of verses, the word is about the darkening of the sun and the stars, the movement and agitation of the mountains, the exploding of the seas, the negligence about wealth, and the fear in wild animals.

In the second group of verses, the statement is about: the different groups of Man coming into the Hereafter, the questioning of the girl-child buried alive, the spreading of the scrolls containing the deeds of Mankind, the removing of the curtains from the heavens, Hell being ablaze, Heaven being brought near, and finally, Man's full knowledge of his own deeds.

In spite of their brevity, these verses are so meaningful and awakening that they shake everyone and bring them into a thoughtful state such that they can visualize the end of this world and the circumstances of the Resurrection, in their minds, as if they see them with their very eyes. How nice and expressive the verses of the Qur'an are, and how impressive and meaningful its refined subtleties and pertinent details! Will the Solar System and the Stars Darken?

First of all, we should know that the Sun is a star and a medium sized one among all stars, hut by itself and in comparison with the Earth it is extraordinarily large Its volume is more than 1,300,000 times that of the Earth, but since its mean distance from the Earth is nearly 93,000,000 miles (about 150,000,000 kilometers) we see it as it is now.

To understand the immenseness and greatness of the Sun it is enough to imagine that if the Earth and its moon, with the same distance that they have between them now, were transferred into the Sun; the moon could easily rotate around the Earth, inside the Sun, without protruding out from its inner surface.
