فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ
یہ الفاظ بتاتے ہیں کہ اس آیت میں ایٹم بم اور ہائیڈروجن بم کا ذکر ہے جن کے پھینکنے پر تمام جَوّ میں دھوآں پھیل جاتا ہے اور ان بموں کو اِس وقت سائنس دان قیامت کا پیش خیمہ بھی بتا رہے ہیں۔
The reference may be to the severe famine that overtook Mecca and lasted for several years till Abu Sufyan, then a great leader of disbelief, came to the Holy Prophet and begged him to pray for deliverance from that terrible scourge. The famine is said to have been so severe that the Meccans ate hides, bones and even dead bodies (Bukhari, Kitabul-Istisqa’). The famine has been described by the word Dukhan (smoke), because, as the tradition goes, the hunger was so severe that people felt a sort of smoke hanging before their eyes. Or, the word may have been used because there was no rain for a long time in Mecca, and the whole atmosphere had become dusty, for, Dukhan also means dust (Lane). The verse may also be taken as referring to the last two World Wars in which towns and cities were burnt down to rubble and the smoke that rose from their ruins filled the whole atmosphere with smoke and dust.
Important Words:
For دخان (smoke) see 41:12.
