Thus the blessed Verse 37 is saying that when the heaven is rent asunder and turns rosy like molten oil, horrible incidents shall occur such that no one may bear them. All the blessed Qur’anic Verses concerning Resurrection clearly reflect that the present order of the world shall be disturbed on that Day and very horrible incidents shall occur throughout the world. Stars, planets, the earth shall undergo alterations and incidents shall occur which may not be imagined by us.

Instances of such incidents include tearing asunder of celestial bodies turning rosy like molten oil. The word warda designates flower and most of flowers are red in color. The word dihan is employed in the sense of molten oil which is often different in color.

The blessed Verse 38 reiterates the rhetorical question: "Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both [jinn and men] deny?" Surah al-Rahman - Verses 39-40 فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَآ يُسْألُ عَن ذَنبِهِ إِنسٌ وَلَآ جَانٌّ فَبِأيِّ آلَآء رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ 39. Therefore, on that Day no question shall be asked of men or jinn as to their sins. 40. Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both [jinn and men] deny?

Following an account of the formative occurrences of Resurrection, the blessed Verse 39 treats of the state of sinners on that Day saying that jinn and men shall not be questioned concerning their sins, since everything shall be evident on the Day of Emergence (yawm al-buruz) and faces reflect everything. It may be falsely imagined that the blessed Verse in question is inconsistent with those emphasizing the questioning of servants on the Day of Resurrection, e.g.

"But Stop them, indeed they are to be questioned," ^2 and “Therefore, by your Lord, We shall certainly question all of them for all they used to do," ^3 ; however, the point is that the Day of Resurrection shall be a very long Day and man has to pass different paths and stations and spend some time at each place. According to a number of traditions, such stopping places shall be fifty in number. Questions shall not be asked at some of these places, since faces reveal inward secrets.

At some of these places, mouths shall be sealed and bodily organs bear witness to deeds and words; ("This Day We shall seal up their mouths and their hands shall speak unto Us and their legs shall bear witness to what they used to earn," ^4 ). There are still other places where questions shall be precisely asked[^5].
