Tafheem-ul-Quran (En) - Al-Waaqia : 3
خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌۙ
It will be a calamity which will abase and exalt. 2
2 Literally: "that which causes (something or somebody j to rise and to Fall. " Its one meaning can be that it will upset every order: it will turn things up-side-down. Another meaning also can 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 honourable people in the world, would become contemptible and those who were considered contemptible would become honourable.
