deers from a lion so it doesn't mean that this is literal it's trying to show you the intensity of the day that's what these things are not really in my understanding to be taken literally but people can take them literally I mean but in my understanding the afterlife and Allah is explaining it it's not about it's more about trying to get the message hence when Allah says or Yama you shuffle answer and sup that the the kind of you know the SH in the lower
part of the leg is revealed and they are told to bow down and they cannot prostrate and this and this is why some of the people then said also this means Allah has a shock Allah has a kind of Shin which is absurd in my according to me but this was a metaphor because the Arabs would use that as an example when things got really intense so when when when it was time for war that what people because they were all thugs when they were gonna charge into each other they would raise they were kind of lift they kind of thought by kind of clenching it from one side they would
hold their spears and that would show one of their legs kind of Bey the lower part of the leg and that would be they would be ready for a charged position and when you saw that you knew that they're about to charge now so it was on and this is why they would say what Sacco Kasia Patel her bow and Sarkoja that the war revealed its Sheen it's Shin it's kind of lower leg and this meant that it was it was on that it was happening so that's the the idiomatic usage in the Quran not quite somebody saying longer dance lungi dance
not quite the longer dance but you know you biack Nazari i that's one way of looking at things right
