[1,2] These conditions occur when the world is annihilated, and destruction mostly begins from above; for this reason, the mention of the sky comes first. (وَحُقَّتْ)—Haq means suitable and appropriate, or it means obligatory and necessary. The reason for Haq is that Allah, the Exalted, is the Creator and Owner, and obeying the Creator and Owner is obligatory. Even in the sky, Allah, the Exalted, has placed the awareness of obedience.
[3,4,5] (مُدَّتْ)—It will be stretched in such a way that its pits and mountains will be removed from it. In a hadith, it is mentioned that it will be stretched like the skin is pulled off an animal so that all creatures may stand upon it for reckoning. (مَا فِيهَا)—Inside it are the dead, as well as treasures and minerals.

(يَسِيرًا)—In an authentic hadith, it is mentioned that the Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace) said: "Whoever is subjected to a detailed reckoning is doomed." Aisha (May Allah be pleased with her) asked, "But Allah, the Exalted, has said that even the people of the right will be accounted for?" The Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace) replied, "That refers to a mere presentation (of deeds), meaning that their deeds will be brought forth before them, and they will fear, but then Allah, the Exalted, will say to them: 'I have forgiven all of this for you.'" (إِلَى أَهْلِهِ)—This refers to the people of Paradise, including the houris and youthful servants, as well as those among their worldly family who have entered Paradise.
