Transliteration:( Khafidatur raafi'ah )
4 This means this event will disgrace the infidels by throwing them into Hell. In the word infidels, all types are included, whether they are rejectors of Allah Almighty or His Beloved Prophet.
5. The common believers will be granted common exaltation and the special believers, the saints of Allah Almighty and the noble Islamic scholars, will be granted special exaltation. The highest exaltation of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم will be too revealed on this day. Hazrat Abdullah ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) has stated that those who had been assuming arrogance in the world, Qiyamah will disgrace them, while those who are practising humility and modesty in the world, this day will raise them to greatness.
The tafsir of Surah Waqiah verse 3 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Waqiah ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 12.
2. Literally: That which causes something or somebody to rise and to fall. Its one meaning can be that it will upset every order and it will turn things upside-down. Another meaning can also be that it will exalt the lowly and bring low the high and mighty; that is, on its advent the decision as to who is noble and who is ignoble among the people will be made on quite a different basis. Those who posed as honorable people in the world would become contemptible and those who were considered contemptible would become honorable.
