5044 (2) The mountains are a type of firmness and stability. But things that we think of as firm and stable in this material life

5649 The whole of our visible world, as we now know it, will pass away, and a new world will come into being. The
mountains are specially mentioned, because they stand as the type of hardness, size, and durability. They will be

70:9 - And the mountains will be like wool 5682
5682 Cf. ci. 5. where the metaphor of carded wool is used. The mountains which seem so solid will be like flakes of wool
driven by the carder's hand. (70.9)

be as a heap of sand poured out and flowing down. 5766

88:19 - And at the Mountains How they are fixed firm? 6105
6105 From every-day utility and affection in the Camel, to the utility in grandeur in the heavens above us, we had two
instances touching our individual as well as our social lives. In the third instance, in the Mountains we come to the
utility to human kind generally in the services the Mountains perform in storing water, in moderating climate, and in
various other ways which it is the business of Physical Geography to investigate and describe. (88.19)
101:5 - And the mountains will be like carded wool. 6253
6253 Cf. n. 5682 to lxx 9. The mountains are solid things, which seem as if nothing could move them. But in that
tremendous cataclysm they will be scattered about like flakes of leased or carded wool. This is a metaphor to show
that what we consider very substantial in this life will be as an airy nothing in the next world. (101.5)
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 1923 Narrated by
Anas ibn Malik
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "When Allah created the Earth it began to oscillate, so He created the
mountains, ordered them onto it, and it became steady. The angels marvelled at the strength of the mountains and asked
their Lord whether there was anything in His creation stronger than the mountains, to which He replied that iron was stronger.
They asked if anything in His creation was stronger than iron, and He replied that fire was. They asked if anything in His
creation was stronger than fire and He replied that water was. They asked if anything in His creation was stronger than water
and He replied that wind was. They asked if anything in His creation was stronger than wind and He replied, "Yes, the son of
Adam who gives sadaqah with his right hand which concealing it from his left."
Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a gharib tradition.
