The Trumpet of Israfeel (Soore Israfeel).

[SYED AELIA RIZVI]

The Trumpet of Israfeel (Soore Israfeel).
When Almighty Allah will intend to bring forth Qayamat, He will order Israfeel to blow the trumpet (Soor). The trumpet is large and illuminated, and has one mouth piece and two tubes, one pointing towards the earth and other towards the sky. Israfeel will go to the Baitul Muqaddas (in Jerusalam) and while facing the Qibla will blow the trumpet. When the voice will come out from that side which is towards the earth all living beings on it shall die, and when the voice will come out from that side which is towards the sky all living being in it shall also die. Then Allah will say to Israfeel "Die" and he too shall die. Allah has described the end of the world in many verses (Ayah) of the Qur'an.
"When the great event comes to pass, there is no belying its coming to pass- Abasing (one party), exalting (the other), When the earth shall be shaking with a (severe) shaking, And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (an awful) crumbling, so that they shall be scattered dust". (Surah-al-Waqeah:1-6)
"On the day when the earth shall be changed into a different earth, and the Heavens (as well), and they shall come forth before Allah, the One, the Supreme". (Surah-al Ibraheem : 48)
"When the Heavens becomes cleft asunder, And when the stars become dispersed, And when the seas are made to flow forth, And when the graves are laid open, Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back". (Surah al-Infitar :1-5)
"When the sun is covered. And when the stars darken,
And when the mountains are made to pass away". (Surah- at-Takwir:1-3)
"So when the sight becomes dazed, And the moon becomes dark, And the sun and the moon are brought together". (Surah-al-Qiyamah: 7-8)
"It will not come on you but of a sudden". (Surah-al A'araf: 187)
People will be engrossed in their different activities, some will be feeding the cattle, some busy in the factories, some weighing things, while some will be absorbed in sins. But when the trumpet will be blown, they all shall die as they are.
"So they shall not be able to make a request, nor shall they return to their families". (Surah-al-Yaseen: 50)
Then the angry voice of Allah will be heard "Where are those men who walked arrogantly over the earth, where are the kings and the emperors who prided upon their empires, where are the people who claimed to be Gods, where are your so called kingdoms. Whose Kingdom is it today"? No one will have the courage to answer. Then He Himself will say "Verily Allah's, the Dominant (Qahhar), the Compelling (Jabbar)". (Ehsanul Fawaed)
