"And when the pregnant she-camels are abandoned." (Surah Al-Takweer: 4)
3. This verse signifies the immense horror and terror of the Day of Judgment. The Arabs, who deeply cherished their milk-bearing she-camels, would become completely unaware and unconcerned about them due to the overwhelming fear of that day.
The tafsir of Surah Takwir verse 4 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Takwir ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 14.
(81:4) when the ten-months pregnant camels shall be abandoned,[4]
4. This was by far the best way of giving an idea of the severities and horrors of Resurrection to the Arabs. Before the buses and trucks of the present day there was nothing more precious for the Arabs than the she-camel just about to give birth to her young. In this state she was most sedulously looked after and cared for, so that she is not lost, stolen, or harmed in any way. The people’s becoming heedless of such she-camels, in fact, meant that at that time they would be so stunned as to become unmindful of their most precious possessions.
[1865]- Those ten months pregnant and nearing delivery. This verse alludes to distraction from the most valued of possessions.
