Blast

And the shriek¹ seized those who had wronged, and they became within their homes [corpses] fallen prone

And when Our command came, We saved Shuʿayb and those who believed with him, by mercy from Us. And the shriek seized those who had wronged, and they became within their homes [corpses] fallen prone

So the shriek¹ seized them at sunrise.

And they used to carve from the mountains, houses, feeling secure.

But the shriek seized them at early morning,

So the shriek¹ seized them in truth,² and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people.

So each We seized for his sin; and among them were those upon whom We sent a storm of stones, and among them were those who were seized by the blast [from the sky], and among them were those whom We caused the earth to swallow, and among them were those whom We drowned. And Allāh would not have wronged them, but it was they who were wronging themselves.

It was not but one shout,¹ and immediately they were extinguished.

They do not await except one blast¹ which will seize them while they are disputing.

It will not be but one blast, and at once they are all brought present before Us.

It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.

And these [disbelievers] await not but one blast [of the Horn]; for it there will be no delay.¹

The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves].

But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.

So leave them until they meet their Day in which they will be struck insensible -

Indeed, We sent upon them one shriek [i.e., blast from the sky], and they became like the dry twig fragments of an [animal] pen.

Then when the Horn is blown with one blast

So as for Thamūd, they were destroyed by the overpowering [blast].

Indeed, it will be but one shout,

And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.

On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],

There will follow it the subsequent [one].

Hearts,¹ that Day, will tremble,

Their eyes¹ humbled.

But when there comes the Deafening Blast¹
