Commentary
And when the matter of resurrection was fully established, He depicted their emergence in it. He said, commenting with what he concluded the beginning with, as an addition to its glorification, magnification, and veneration: "On the Day the earth will be split open." He expressed it with the verb of cooperation due to the necessity of the situation for it. He omitted the letter of cooperation as a reference to the ease and speed of the action, "from them," meaning: surpassing them after they had been in its belly, and they will emerge from it alive as they were alive on its surface, while they are "swiftly" responding to its caller. He indicated its greatness by saying: "That," meaning: the truly great emergence, "is a gathering," meaning: a collection with reluctance. He increased in clarifying the greatness of this matter by indicating its specificity with the precedence of the preposition, saying: "Upon Us," meaning: specifically, "is easy." So how can a rational person hesitate in it, let alone deny it? As for others, it is not possible for them to do so in any way.
