Commentary
And it is gathered, meaning a gathering that is of the utmost precision and intensity, as the reminder makes clear. And it is on the easiest and simplest of paths. The sun, meaning the sign of the day, and the moon, despite its lack of illumination, although its light now comes from its light. The benefit from both has gone, and they, with the disappearance of light and the scattering of sight, are perceivable for the complete unveiling of the hidden things, as He, the Most High, said: 'So We removed your covering, and your sight today is sharp' [Q: 22]. After their gathering, they will be thrown into the fire, as if they are two stubborn rams. The verb is built for the object because the horror is the absolute gathering of them, which is brought forth for them beyond the norm, and for indicating ease.
