77:8-10 In these verses, some of the signs of the approaching days are recounted. “When the small stars are made to lose their light” also implies that small worthless religious scholars will be deprived of the Heavenly light. “When the heavens shall be opened” may be a reference to some heavenly calamities and perhaps to the discoveries in space. Al-Jibâlالْجِبَالُ literally means mountains. Al-Jibâl الْجِبَالُ also stand for nations (Tâj, Lane). “When the mountains shall be blown down to pieces”وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ نُسِفَتْ refers to the powerful nations and influential people who will be laid low and also to the advancements in science and technology which led to the blowing up of mountains to build means of transport, communication, to tame rivers and to exploit natural resources. It may also refer to a heavenly calamity still waiting.
