is therefore disagreeable to Sin. If false gods are imagined, who themselves would have weaknesses that fit in with<br />

sin, they give countenance to evils, and it becomes difficult to give them up, unless Allah's grace comes to our<br />

assistance. (37.19)<br />

36:49 - They will not (have to) wait for aught but a single Blast: it will seize them while they are yet<br />

disputing among themselves!<br />

36:51 - The trumpet shall be sounded when behold! from the sepulchers (men) will rush forth to<br />

their Lord! 3997<br />

3997 Traditionally, the angel who will sound the Trumpet is Israfil, but the name does not occur in the Qur-an. The Trumpet<br />

is mentioned in many places: e.g., vi. 73; lxxviii. 18, etc. (36.51)<br />

23:101 - Then when the Trumpet is blown there will be no more relationships between them that<br />

day nor will one ask after another! 2941<br />

2941 The old relationships of the world will then be dissolved. Each soul will stand on its merits. (23.101)<br />

69:13 - Then when one Blast is sounded on the Trumpet 5648<br />

5648 We now come to the Inevitable Event, the Day of Judgment, the theme of this Sura. This is the first Blast referred to in<br />

xxxix. 68, n. 4343. (69.13)<br />

20:102 - The Day when the Trumpet will be sounded: that Day We shall gather the sinful blear-eyed<br />

(with terror) 2627<br />

2627 Zurq=having eyes different from the normal colour, which in the East is black and white;<br />

having blue eyes, or eyes afflicted with dimness or blindness, or squint; hence mataphorically,<br />

blear-eyed (with terror). (20.102)<br />

74:8 - Finally when the Trumpet is sounded<br />

79:13 - But verily it will be but a single (compelling) Cry. 5925<br />

5925 Judgment will be insugurated with a single compelling Cry. Cf. xxxvii. 19. See also xxxvi. 29 and 49, where the single<br />

mightly Blast seems to refer to the sinners being cut off in this life and plunged into the other world where they will be<br />

further judged, and xxxvi. 53, where the final Judgment is referred to. (79.13)<br />

80:33 - At length when there comes the Deafening Noise 5965<br />

5965 Preliminary to the establishment of the Final Judgment. (80.33)<br />

78:18 - The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded and ye shall come forth in crowds; 5897<br />

5897 The angel charged with the sounding of the Trumpet is Israfil. It will herald Judgment. Cf. 1. 20; also xxxix. 68, and n.<br />

4343; and lxix. 13, n. 5648. (78.18)<br />

APPEARANCE:<br />

18:47 - One Day We shall remove the mountains and thou wilt see the earth as a level stretch and<br />

We shall gather them all together nor shall We leave out any one of them. 2388<br />

2388 On the Day of Judgment none of our present landmarks will remain. (18.47)<br />

18:48 - And they will be marshalled before thy Lord in ranks (with the announcement) "Now have ye<br />

come to Us (bare) as We created you first: aye ye thought We shall not fulfil the appointment<br />

made to you to meet (Us)!": 23892390<br />

2389 We shall stand as we were created, with none of the adventitious possessions that we collected in this life, which will<br />

all have vanished. (18.48)<br />

2390 The sceptics will now at length be convinced of the Reality which will be upon them. (18.48)<br />

18:49- And the Book (of Deeds) will be placed (before you); and thou wilt see the sinful in great<br />

terror because of what is (recorded) therein; they will say "Ah! woe to us! what a book is this! It<br />

leaves out nothing small or great but takes account thereof!" They will find all that they did<br />

placed before them: and not one will thy Lord treat with injustice. 2391<br />

2391 Personal responsibility, for all deeds in this life will then be enforced. But it will be done with perfect justice. Expressed<br />

in the forms of this world, it will amount to a clear statement of all we did in this life; the record will be put before us to<br />

convince us. As it will be a perfect record, with no omissions and no wrong entries, it will be perfectly convincing.<br />

Where there is punishment, it has been earned by the wrong-doer's own deeds, not imposed on him unjustly. (18.49)<br />
