Many verses of the Qura’n speak about the blowing of the trumpet and it is clear from that this will be done twice.

The first time at the end of this world and by which every living creature in this world will die. This will be shriek of death.

The second time it will be fore the beginning of the Day of Reckoning when all the dead will rise. This will be shriek for life.

Actually the end of this world and the beginning of another is like the movement of the armies or the caravans that halt on hearing the trumpet and pitch tents for the day. Then on the blowing of trumpet the next morning they rise prepared to move.

What is the word “Soor” and what do you mean by the word ‘Nafakh”? We will discuss this issue by the grace of God. At the present the thing we attend to is that there are 6 des c r i p tions about these two events in the Qura’n.

Some times it is called “ Nafakh Soor”

Some times called “Sihah”

Some times it is “Naqar fi naqoor”

Some Sakkhata

And some Qariah

And Zajarah

The explanation and detail of these 6 topics will be seen in the verses that will be quoted. With this brief introduction we again revert to the Qura’n and study the following verses:
