يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الْأَرْضُ غَيْرَ الْأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ وَبَرَزُوا لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ
The day when the earth is turned into another earth and the heavens [as well], and they are presented before Allah, the One, the All-paramount
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 14:48
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 14:48] According to the holy Imams of the Ahl ul Bayt on the day of judgement an entirely new and different earth will replace the present once. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: A thorough study of the verses of the Quran, read with several authentic traditions, supports the idea that in the evolutionary course the heavens and the earth will reach a stage known as the day of resurrection when the laws of time and space shall cease to apply. All the terrestrial and the celestial distances will disappear. There will be no past, present and future. All will be before the Lord together to be judged. CONCLUSION Ibrahim's prayer forms the core of this surah. Revelation (the Quran) leads man from darkness to light-the light of true knowledge about Allah and His omnipotent authority and sovereignty which He shares with no one. The whole universe (all that has been created by Him) willingly or unwillingly submit to His will and command. He sent His messengers to teach each nation in its own language and for its own special circumstances. There was a conflict of evil with good in the times of every prophet but evil was destroyed and good was preserved by the grace of Allah which man must always remember and give thanks to his Lord. Thankfulness increases His blessings and ingratitude takes them away. Miracles take place only when Allah wills. They cannot be shown to people as a sport or pastime particularly to such type of people whose ignorance and arrogance keep them from learning a lesson from the miracles shown by many prophets of Allah. The disbelievers shall be punished and hell will be their final abode where they will abide for ever. The believers always rely upon Allah and adhere to the divinely chosen guides appointed by Him to guide mankind. They shall live in paradise for ever. The Holy Prophet, his Ahl ul Bayt and the religion of Allah they preached and practised have been compared to a goodly tree which bears fruits in all seasons. The disbelievers and the hypocrites are compared to an evil tree which shall be uprooted and destroyed for ever. In Ibrahim's prayer there is a mention of the people who pray for Allah's grace so that He keeps them attached with the godly family of Ibrahim. This family of Ibrahim is in fact the family of the Holy Prophet-the Ahl ul Bayt. No evil force of the world can prevent the march of Islam.
