THE BLAST OF THE TRUMPET, THE JUDGEMENT, AND THE RECOMPENSE

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawm athalaatha, 12th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani, 1446AH (Tuesday, 15th October 2024). *_THE BLAST OF THE TRUMPET, THE JUDGEMENT, AND THE RECOMPENSE_*. BismilLah. 

From the tafseer of Qu’ran 39:70 going,

ALLAH tells us about the terrors of the Day of Judgement, with its mighty signs and terrifying upheaval.

وَنُفِخَ فِى الصُّورِ فَصَعِقَ مَن فِى السَّمَـوَتِ وَمَن فِى الاٌّرْضِ إِلاَّ مَن شَآءَ اللَّهُ

(And the Trumpet will be blown and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will swoon away, except him whom ALLAH wills.) This will be the second trumpet-blast, which will cause people to die. By this trumpet-blast, everyone who is alive in the heavens and on earth will be caused to die, except for him whom ALLAH wills. Then the souls of the remaining creatures will be taken, until the last one to die will be the Angel of Death, and there will be left only the Ever Living, Eternal One, Who was there in the beginning and will be at the end, forever. HE will say three times,

لِّمَنِ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ

("Whose is the kingdom this day"), then HE will answer HIMSELF:

لِلَّهِ الْوَحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ

("It is ALLAH'S, the One, the Irresistible!") (40:16). `I am the One existing Alone, I subjugated all things, and I decreed that all things must come to an end.'' Then the first one to be brought back to life will be Israfil, and ALLAH will command him to sound the Trumpet again. This will be the third trumpet-blast, the trumpet-blast of Resurrection.

 ALLAH says:

ثُمَّ نُفِخَ فِيهِ أُخْرَى فَإِذَا هُمْ قِيَامٌ يَنظُرُونَ

(Then it will be blown another time, and behold they will be standing, looking on) means, after they have been bones and dust, they will come alive, looking at the terrors of the Day of Resurrection. This is like the Ayat:

فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْبِالسَّاهِرَةِ

(But it will be only a single Zajrah, when behold, they find themselves alive.) (79:13-14)

يَوْمَ يَدْعُوكُمْ فَتَسْتَجِيبُونَ بِحَمْدِهِ وَتَظُنُّونَ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً

(On the Day when HE will call you, and you will respond with HIS praise, and you will think that you have stayed (in this world) but a little while!) (17:52), and

وَمِنْ ءَايَـتِهِ أَن تَقُومَ السَّمَآءُ وَالاٌّرْضُ بِأَمْرِهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ دَعْوَةً مِّنَ الاٌّرْضِ إِذَآ أَنتُمْ تَخْرُجُونَ

(And among HIS signs is that the heaven and the earth stand by HIS command. Then afterwards, when HE will call you by a single call, behold, you will come out from the earth.) (30:25). To be Continued tomorrow in shaa ALLAH. *_May ALLAH be pleased with us all_*. Aameen.
