Transliteration:( Yawma tashaqqaqul ardu 'anhum siraa'aa; zaalika hashrun 'alainaa yaseer )
"On the day when the earth will be rent [74] asunder from over them and they will come out hastening. That will be the gathering together, quite easy for Us."
The verse describes the dramatic scene on the Day of Judgment when the earth will be split open, and the dead will rise from their graves. The earth will be rent asunder to make way for the resurrection, and the souls will hasten toward the Field of Hashr (the gathering place for all of humanity).
The rising of the dead will be swift, with some riding, some on foot, and others in an inverted condition (perhaps symbolizing different fates or states of being at that time). The term “inverted condition” could refer to individuals being resurrected in a disoriented or abnormal state due to their actions in the world.
This gathering in the Field of Hashr, where all beings will be assembled for judgment, is described as “quite easy for Us”, emphasizing that despite the overwhelming nature of the event, it is nothing for Allah, whose power is limitless.

Please refer to Surah Qaf ayat 41 which provides the complete commentary from verse 41 through 45.
(50:44) on the Day when the earth will be rent asunder and people, rising from it, will hasten forth. To assemble them all will be easy for Us.[54]
54. This is the answer to the saying of the disbelievers that has been reproduced in verse 3 above. They said: How can it be that when we are dead and become dust, we shall be raised back to life once again. This resurrection is far removed from reason. In reply it has been said: This gathering together, i.e. raising back to life and gathering all the people of the former and latter times together, is very easy for Us. It is not at all difficult for Us to know as to where the dust of one particular person lies and where of the other. We shall also face no difficulty in knowing as to which are the particles of one and which of the other among the scattered particles of the dust. Gathering together all these particles separately and remaking each and every man’s body once again and then creating in that body the same very personality which had lived in it before, is not a task that may require any hard labor from Us, but all this can be accomplished immediately at one signal from Us. All those human beings who have been born in the world since the time of Adam till Resurrection can be brought together by one command of Ours. If your petty mind thinks it is far off, it may think so, but it is not beyond the power of the Creator of the Universe.
