Surah Ya-Sin 36:53

The Trumpet Blast of the Resurrection

This will be the third blast of the trumpet, the trumpet blast of the resurrection when people will come forth from their graves. Allah says:

(and behold from the graves they will come out quickly to their Lord.) Yansilun means they will be walking quickly. This is like the Ayah:

(The Day when they will come out of the graves quickly as racing to a goal.) (70:43).

(They will say: "Woe to us! Who has raised us up from our place of sleep.") meaning, their graves, which in this world they thought they would never be raised from. When they see with their own eyes that in which they had disbelieved,

(They will say: "Woe to us! Who has raised us up from our place of sleep.") This does not contradict the fact that they will be punished in their graves, because in comparison to what is to come afterwards, that will seem like a nap. Ubayy bin Ka`b, may Allah be pleased with him, Mujahid, Al-Hasan and Qatadah said, "They will sleep before the Resurrection." Qatadah said, "That will be between the two trumpet blasts, they will say, `Who has raised us up from our place of sleep"' When they say that, the believers will respond. This was the view of more than one of the Salaf.

((It will be said to them): "This is what the Most Gracious had promised, and the Messengers spoke truth!") Al-Hasan said, "The angels will reply to them in this manner. There is no contradiction because both are possible. And Allah knows best.

(It will be but a single Sayhah, so behold they will all be brought up before Us!) This is like the Ayat:

(But it will be only a single Zajrah, when behold, they find themselves (on the surface of the earth) alive (after their death).) (79:13-14),

(And the matter of the Hour is not but as a twinkling of the eye, or even nearer) (16:77), and

(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!) (17:52) which means, `We will issue but one command, and all of them will be gathered together.'

(This Day, none will be wronged in anything,) means, with regard to his deeds.

(nor will you be requited anything except that which you used to do.)

Ayat ini menerangkan bagaimana mudahnya bagi Allah untuk membangkitkan seluruh manusia yang pernah ada dahulu sebelum datangnya hari Kiamat. Cukup dengan satu teriakan saja, maka hiduplah kembali seluruh manusia, dan berkumpul di hadapan Allah untuk menerima perhitungan dan keputusan yang adil dari-Nya.

Ayat yang lain yang maksudnya sama dengan ayat ini ialah firman-Nya:

Urusan kejadian Kiamat itu, hanya seperti sekejap mata atau lebih cepat (lagi). Sesungguhnya Allah Mahakuasa atas segala sesuatu. (an-Nahl/16: 77)

Dan firman-Nya:

Maka pengembalian itu hanyalah dengan sekali tiupan saja. Maka seketika itu mereka hidup kembali di bumi (yang baru). (an-Nazi'at/79: 13-14)
