وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا

99:2 “The earth shall throw up all her treasures” these treasures are a kind of burden to the earth in the form of hidden minerals, oils and gas fields. The treasures are also the knowledge of sciences and arts. There will be a vast release and upsurge of spiritual and scientific knowledge. It also signifies that the latent aptitudes and capacities of human beings will find their expression. The changes will be so profound and the discoveries so far-reaching that people will exclaim with wonder and in bewilderment, “What is the matter with her?” (وَقَالَ الْإِنسَانُ مَا لَهَا).
