Tafheem ul Quran

Surah 54 Al-Qamar, Ayat 11-12

فَفَتَحۡنَاۤ اَبۡوَابَ السَّمَآءِ بِمَآءٍ مُّنۡهَمِرٍ ۖ‏ ﴿54:11﴾ وَّفَجَّرۡنَا الۡاَرۡضَ عُيُوۡنًا فَالۡتَقَى الۡمَآءُ عَلٰٓى اَمۡرٍ قَدۡ قُدِرَ​ۚ‏ ﴿54:12﴾

(54:11) Thereupon We opened the gates of the sky for water to pour down, (54:12) and We made the earth burst forth with springs,11 and all this water converged to fulfil that which had been decreed.


Notes

11. That is, the earth so burst forth with springs at the command of Allah that it was no longer earth but presented a scene of the springs all around.
