Commentary:
"Moon" being a symbol of the political power of the Arabs, the verse may mean: when the power of the Arabs will break and their glory will depart. Or the darkening of the moon may mean the darkening of both the sun and the moon, as the moon borrows its light from the sun, so that when the moon is darkened it means that the sun also has become dark.

وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ
经文 “日月被集合在一起” 可以表示整个太阳系将彻底瓦解。这节经文的意思也可指阿拉伯人的政权和伊朗帝国的政权的垮台, 月亮是前者政权的象征, 太阳是后者的象征。这里也可以指月蚀和日蚀。根据圣训, 月蚀和日蚀将在受道教长 (مَهْدِی, Mahdi) 来临的时候在斋月里发生 (بَيْهَقِی, Baihaqī), 这是一个不同寻常的自然现象。这是够奇怪的, 1894 年斋月中日蚀和月蚀都发生了, 当时阿哈默底亚运动的创始人已宣称自己是主许迈喜合和受道教长。
یہ آخری زمانہ میں ظاہر ہونے والی ایک اہم پیشگوئی کی طرف اشارہ ہے۔ یعنی رمضان کے مہینہ میں سورج اور چاند کو گرہن لگنے کی طرف۔
The expression, 'the sun and the moon are brought together,' may signify that the whole solar system will be completely disrupted. Or, the verse may signify the destruction of the political power of the Arabs and of the Iranian empire, the moon being the symbol of the political power of the former and the sun that of the latter. Or, the reference may be to the lunar and solar eclipses which, according to a Hadith, were to occur in the time of the Promised Mahdi in the month of Ramadan (Baihaqi), it being quite an unusual natural phenomenon. Strangely enough, both the sun and the moon were eclipsed in the month of Ramadan in 1894 when the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement had already made the claim that he was the Promised Messiah and Mahdi.
Commentary:
The expression, "the sun and the moon are brought together" may signify that the whole solar system will be completely disrupted. Or the words may signify the destruction of the political power of the Arabs and of the Iranian dynasty, the moon being the symbol of the political power of the former and the sun that of the latter. Or the reference may be to the lunar and solar eclipses—a highly unusual phenomenon, which, according to a hadith was to occur in the time of the Promised Mahdi. The hadith is to the following effect: ان لمھدینا اٰیتین لم تکونا منذ خلق السموات و الارض الخ i.e. For our Mahdi there are two signs which have never been witnessed since the time when the heavens and the earth were created, viz. that the moon will be eclipsed on the first night and the sun on the second day in the month of Ramadan(Baihaqi). This meant that the day of the final triumph of Islam and that of the defeat and destruction of the forces of evil will dawn with the Mahdi’s appearance in the world. Strangely enough, both the sun and the moon were eclipsed in the month of Ramadan in 1894 after Ahmad, the Founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement had made the claim that he was the Promised Messiah and Mahdi.

有一种普遍的说法, 这一经章谈的是最后复生, 在那时候, 我们所知道的自然规律和程序都将不再起作用。但是这一经章总的要旨十分清楚地说明了现实物质世界的情况, 所以如果仅将它看作是指最后复生的话, 这经章中的几节经文就完全没有意义了。事实上, 这一经章谈到了穆圣时代以来, 尤其是在我们时代已经在现实世界上发生的巨大变化。这节经文的意思可以是: 这时全世界笼罩着精神上的黑暗--------精神上的太阳 (穆圣) 之光暗淡或者说完全消失了。这节经文也可以指日蚀和月蚀, 从穆圣的一段圣训中可以看出, 那是发生在受道教长时代, 在斋月中, 这是世界上从未见过的自然现象 (قُطْنِی, Qutni, P.188)。这个日蚀和月蚀发生在1894年和预言完全一样。
یہ اس عارضی ضعف کی طرف اشارہ ہے جو مسلمانوں پر آنے والا تھا۔ رسول کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو قرآن مجید میں سورج کہا گیا ہے اور اس آیت میں بتایا گیا ہے کہ ایک زمانہ میں سورج پر پردہ ڈال دیا جائے گا۔ یعنی محمد رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی عظمت لوگوں کے دلوں میں اتنی نہیں رہے گی جس کے آپ مستحق ہیں۔
It is generally said that the Surah deals with the Final Resurrection, when the laws and processes of nature as we know them will cease to operate. But its whole trend and tenor speak so clearly of the conditions which obtain in the physical world that some of the verses will lose all sense if they are taken as referring only to the Final Resurrection. In fact, the Surah speaks of the great changes that have already taken place in the material world and in human life since the time of the Holy Prophet, particularly in our own time. The verse may mean: When there will be spiritual darkness all over the world—the light of the Spiritual Sun (The Holy Prophet) having become dim or disappeared altogether. Or, it may refer to the eclipses of the sun and the moon, which according to a well-known saying of the Holy Prophet, were to take place in the time of the Mahdi, in the month of Ramadan, a phenomenon which the world had never witnessed before (Qutni, p. 188). These eclipses of the sun and the
Important Words:
کورت (wrapped up) is derived from کور. They say کور العمامة i.e. he wound round the turban upon his head. کورت الشمس means, the light of the sun became folded up or became dim or it disappeared or the sun became eclipsed (Aqrab). اذا الشمس کورتmeans, when the sun shall be wound with darkness like a turban; or when it shall be wrapped up and have its light taken away or shall lose its light; or shall be divested of its light; or shall be cast away. These are some of the meanings of the verse given by Jalalain, Qatadah, ‘Ikrimah and Mujahid as quoted by Lane.
Commentary:
It is generally said that this Surah deals with the Resurrection, when the laws and processes of nature as we know them, will cease to operate. But this does not appear to be plausible, the whole trend and tenor of the Surah speaks so patently of the conditions which obtain in the physical world that some of the verses will lose all sense if they are taken as referring to the Final Resurrection. In fact, the Surah speaks of the great changes that have taken place in the material world and in human life since the time of the Holy Prophet, particularly in our own time. The Surah thus makes a special reference to the present era—the era of the Promised Messiah. Some verses may equally be interpreted literally as well as metaphorically.
The Holy Prophet is described in the Quran as the Bright Sun (25:62). The verse, therefore, may mean: When there will be spiritual darkness all over the world—the light of the Spiritual Sun having become dim or having disappeared altogether. Or the verse may refer to the eclipse of the sun and the moon, which according to a well-known saying of the Holy Prophet, was to take place in the time of the Mahdi, a phenomenon that the world had never witnessed before (Qutni, p. 188). A reference to this is also to be found in 75:10. This predicted eclipse of the sun and the moon took place in 1894 in the month of Ramadan.
