Part 50

“The Day when the Trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds (groups); and the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates, and the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage.’

“On the Day when He will call you, and you will answer (His Call) with (words of) His Praise and Obedience, and you will think that you have stayed (in this world) but a little while!)

“But only, it will be a single Zajrah (shout (.e., the second blowing of the Trumpet). When behold, they find themselves over the earth alive after their death,"

“And the Trumpet will be blown (i.e. the second blowing) and behold! From the graves they will come out quickly to their Lord.

They will say: “Woe to us! Who has raised us up from our place of sleep.” (It will be said to them): “This is what the Most Beneficent (Allah) had promised, and Messengers spoke truth!” It will be but a single Saihah (shout, etc.), so behold! They will all be brought up before Us! This Day (Day of Resurrection), none will be wronged in anything, nor will you be requited anything except that which you used to do")

In the hadith of the horn, after the blowing of the swooning away, after only the Ever-Living, Who does not die, remains — and He was before all things and after all things — after the earth and the heavens are changed between the two blows, Allah 4g then orders for water to be sent down, and from it bodies grow and become formed in their graves, just as they were in the world, but now without souls. Then the hadith continues with Allah 4 saying, ” “Let the bearers of the Throne live, and they will live (i.e. come back to life)’ Then He 4 will order Israafeel, who will then take the horn and place it on his mouth. Then Allah will say, “Let Jibreel and Meekaaeel live’, and they will come back to life. Then Allah will call the souls. They will be brought, and the souls of the believers are glowing with light and the others will be darkness. He will grasp them all and throw them in the horn (trumpet). Then Allah will order Israafeel to blow the blowing of resurrection, and he will blow (the horn). The souls will come out as if they are bees; they will have filled what is between the heavens and the earth. Allah 3é will say, “By My Greatness and Majesty, each soul will indeed return to the body that it inhabited in the world.’ The souls will head toward the bodies, and they will enter into the noses, moving in the body like poison flows in a poisonous (creature), Then the earth will split for you, and I am the first for whom the earth will split.”

They will come out quickly towards their Lord, looking fearfully at the caller. The disbelievers will say that it is a most difficult day. Every person will be barefooted, naked, and uncircumcised. And Allah 4 said:

“And listen on the Day when the caller will call from a near place, the Day when they will hear As-Saihah (shout, ete.) in truth, that will be the Day of coming out (from the graves i.e. the Day of Resurrection). Verily, We it is Who give life and cause death; and to Us is the final return, - on the Day when the earth shall be cleft, from off them, (they will come out) hastening forth. That will be a gathering, quite easy for Us,")

“So (O Muhammad 2%) withdraw from them, The Day that the caller will call (them) to a terrible thing. They will come forth, with humbled eyes from (their) graves as if they were locusts spread abroad, Hastening towards the caller, ihe disbelievers will say, “This is a hard Day”!

“Thereof {the earth) We created you, and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you out once again.“

“Then an angel will stand with the horn between the heaven and the earth, and he will blow. Each soul will head to its body and enter into it. And then they will rise, standing to the Lord of all that exists.” Ibn Abu Ad-Dunyaa reported this narration.

Wahb ibn Munabbah said, “They will decompose in the graves, and when they hear the shout, the souls will return to the bodies and joints, some of them to the others. When they hear the second blowing, the people will rise, standing on their legs. They will shake off the dirt from their heads, and the believers will say, ‘How perfect

Ahaadeeth About The Resurrection

Sufyaan Ath-Thauree reported that ‘Abdullah < said, “A violent, bitter, cold wind will be sent; no believer will be left on earth except that that wind will envelop him. Then the Hour will arrive upon the people. An angel with the Horn will stand between the heaven and the earth, and he will blow into it. Every single created being in the heaven and in the earth will die. Then whatsoever Allah wills will occur between the two blows. Then Allah will send water from underneath the Throne. Their bodies and flesh will grow from that water, just as (crops of) the earth grows forth from the soil.” Then Tbn Masood - recited:

“And it is Allah Who sends the winds, so that they raise up the clouds, and We drive them to a dead land, and revive therewith the earth after its death. As such (will be) the Resurrection!"

“Then an angel will stand with the horn between the heaven and the earth, and he will blow. Each soul will head to its body and enter into it. And then they will come, standing to the Lord of all that exists.”

Al-Waleed ibn Muslim said, “Ahanadeeth and narrations have been gathered that attest to the Hadceih of the horn in its different parts. Regarding this verse,

“And listen on the Day when he caller will call from a near place’)

Sa’eed ibn Basheer related that Qataadah said, “An angel will stand on the rock of Jerusalem, calling out, ‘O decomposed bones and broken limbs, Allah indeed orders you to the rendering of the judgment.” Qataadah said, “The punishment of the grave will not change for the people of the graves until the time between the blowing of the swooning away and the blowing of the resurrection.”
