IT WILL COME SUDDENLY
            AND UNPREDICTABLY
            What are they waiting for, but the Hour to come upon them
            suddenly when they are not expecting it? (Qur'an, 43:66)
            What are they awaiting but for the Hour to come upon them
            suddenly? Its Signs have already come. What good will their
            Reminder be to them when it does arrive? (Qur'an, 47:18)
            No, it will come upon them suddenly, confounding them, taking
            them completely by surprise, and they will not be able to ward it
            off. They will be granted no reprieve. (Qur'an, 21:40)
            What are they waiting for but one Great Blast to seize them while
            they are quibbling? They will not be able to make a will or return
            to their families. (Qur'an, 36:49-50)

            IT CONSISTS OF JUST
            ONE GREAT BLAST
            There will be but one Great Blast and then their eyes will open.
            (Qur'an, 37:19)
            What are they waiting for but one Great Blast to seize them while
            they are quibbling? (Qur'an, 36:49)
            The Day they hear the Blast in truth, that is the Day of Emergence.
            (Qur'an, 50:42)


            IT IS UNSPEAKABLY TERRIBLE
            Turn away from them then.On the Day the Summoner summons
            them to something unspeakably terrible, (Qur'an, 54:6)

            ON THAT DAY EVERYTHING
            WILL COME TO LIGHT
            'You were heedless of this so We have stripped you of your
            covering and today your sight is sharp.' (Qur'an, 50:22)
