سَخَّرَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَثَمَـٰنِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ حُسُومًا فَتَرَى ٱلْقَوْمَ فِيهَا صَرْعَىٰ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجَازُ نَخْلٍ خَاوِيَةٍ
Which He [i.e., Allāh] imposed upon them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so you would see the people therein fallen as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees.
— Al-Haqqah 69:7
Tafsir note (Ibn Kathir): In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Reflection
This verse is a small portion of the Quran's living guidance. Take a moment to sit with it, then return tomorrow for another.
