The Holy Quran 101:5 — Surah Al-Qari'ah

Arabic text

وَتَكُونُ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَٱلْعِهْنِ ٱلْمَنفُوشِ

Translation

...And the mountains (which are found in a variety of colours) will (be tossed into the air and) become like coloured (flakes of) wool (as they fly about like flakes of wool tossed through the air).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The mountains will become like carded wool: that is, just as a carder cards wool or cotton and blows it away tuft by tuft, so the mountains will break apart and fly away. And perhaps the comparison is with dyed wool because it is very weak and light.
