How will you then, if you disbelieve, guard yourselves against a day which will turn children greyheaded?
English - Five Volume Translation
How will you then, if you disbelieve, guard yourselves against a day which will turn children grey-headed? [4427]
Commentary:
"Turning children grey-headed" in the present verse, "grinding asunder of the heaven" in the next, "rolling up of heaven" in 21:105, and similar expressions used in the Quran (81:12; 82:2 & 84:2) are metaphors for most calamitous happenings which bring about disastrous changes. The reference in this and in the next verse and also in verse 15 above is to the Day of Resurrection or the Day of the Fall of Mecca. See also v. 15.
