79:5by those who direct the affairs [of creatures]:
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ
قُلُوبٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ وَاجِفَةٌ
Tafsir
Commentary on this passage
Verse 1
2.Regarding these words there are different opinions among the commentators; some consider it to be angels and some say stars. But the fact is that there is no specific mention in the ayat and the future may throw some light on this mystery. The mention of Qiyamat indicates that angels may be intended because they are the ones who take away souls and they are entrusted most of the affairs and not stars. Otherwise Allah knows the intention of His words. For us the important thing is the sketch of Qiyamat, where in one stroke all the creatures will come and stand in a plain and all those who falsify will have the result that Firon had.
