Tafseer Ibn Kathir

A Mention of the Horrors of the Day of Judgement

Allah informs,

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ




Then when the Trumpet will be blown with one blowing,

Allah informs of the horrors that will take place on the Day of Judgement. The first of these events is the blowing of fright (into the Trumpet), which will be followed by the blowing of destruction when everyone in the heavens and the earth will be struck down except whoever Allah wills. Then, after this will be the blowing of standing before the Lord of all that exists, and the resurrection, and the gathering. And this is that blowing. It is emphasized here that it is one blowing, because the command of Allah cannot be opposed or prevented, and it does not need to be repeated or stressed.

Thus, Allah goes on to say,

وَحُمِلَتِ الاَْرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَاحِدَةً
