Transliteration:( Bi-anna rabbaka awhaa laha )
4. The testimony of the earth against the infidels will neither be out of enmity, because like the mother the earth is the origin of man. A mother cannot be the enemy of her children, nor will it be out of impurity of the soul because the earth is pure from the soul and all sensual impurities. But this will be purely through Divine Command. Hence it will be totally true and accurate. It should be remembered just as the earth has the capacity to absorb water, etc. in it, likewise it has the ability to capture our words and deeds. Today it is absorbing everything. On the Day of Judgement it would be narrating everything: The procedure is the same as when recording sound i.e. sound is first absorbed in the machine and when it is needed it is released by pressing the play button. Further, the earth is able to absorb auspiciousness as well as wretchedness by means of which places of the pious servant become blessed and the places of the reprobates becomes inauspicious. The Holy Prophet ﷺ had forbidden his followers to stop at the territory of the Thamud. The ground of the two Harams i.e. Makkah and Madina will always remain blessed until the Day of Judgement. Today, Science has proven that every sound from the beginning of time has been captured in the air, while effort is being made to listen to the sound and voices of the previous people. Thus, if the earth can keep Our deeds, Our conversations, our auspiciousness and ill fortunes and tomorrow narrate them. On the Day of Judgement this should not cause any astonishment.
