كَلاَّ إِذَا دُكَّتِ الأَرْضُ دَكًّا دَكًّا
No. When the earth is leveled, pounded and crushed
Allah ( سبحانسَه وتعالى ) begins this chapter, informing us about the state of mankind on the Day of Resurrection, the day When the earth is leveled, pounded and crushed so much so that no raised or lowered areas would be seen; it will be completely flat.
The mountains will be crushed. No buildings. No trees. The earth will be spread as a single, flat surface, and all people will be upon it, in a single area. They will all hear a caller and they will all be seen.
2 This occurs in a long ḥadīth in which the prophet ( صلّى الله عليه وسلّم ) said about the Day of Judgment:
» يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ الأَوَّلِينَ وَالآخِرِينَ فِي صَعِيدٍ وَاحِدٍ/، يُسْمِعُهُمْ الدَّاعِي ، وَيَنْفُذُهُمْ الْبَصَرُ «
Allah will gather all people, the first and last of them, in a single area. They will all hear a caller and they will all be seen.
