And when the description of it was known in itself, he followed it with the description of what is done in it. He said: ﴿It takes﴾, meaning it takes from the earth some of them from its surface and some of them from the pits they have dug to protect themselves from the punishment. He made evident the place of the implicit meaning to be a text regarding males and females. He expressed it with what is from the kind of preference for them, saying: ﴿the people﴾, those who are forms with no stability for them by the souls of piety. They are carried between the heaven and the earth as if they are scattered dust. It cuts off their heads from their bodies and changes their colors to darken them. For this reason, he said: ﴿as if they﴾, meaning: when they are taken away and thrown without souls in them, as if they are ﴿the stumps of﴾, meaning the roots of ﴿palm trees﴾ whose heads have been cut off. And when the judgment here is based on their apparent state, and the apparent is less than the hidden, he carried on the wording with his saying: ﴿downcast﴾, meaning broken, meaning fallen from the lowest depth of its bottom and the origin of its planting. The analogy indicates that they are tall, whose heads have been cut off. In the Day of Resurrection, the analogy occurs in the hidden, which contains the main organs and the subtle meanings. He feminized the description based on the meaning of the palm tree, not for its delicacy - and Allah knows best.
