never expected. The following account of these happenings are
given in the Qur'an as follows:

The Trumpet will be blown and those in the heavens and
those on the earth will all lose consciousness, except those
Allah wills. Then it will be blown a second time and at once
they will be standing upright, looking on. And the earth will
shine with the Pure Light of its Lord...(Surat az-Zumar: 68-69)

The Emergence of the Dead From their Graves

Allah gives a detailed account of the situations which will take
place as the dead rise again by His will. As related in the Qur'an, this
great event will occur thus:
—By the time the trumpet is blown for the second time, the
dead will be called from the earth. Upon this call, they will rapidly
"emerge from their graves with downcast eyes, like swarming lo-
custs." (Surat al-Qamar: 7)

(...Then, when) He calls you forth from the earth, you will
emerge at once. (Surat ar-Rum: 25)
The Day the earth splits open all around them as they come
rushing forth, that is a gathering, easy for Us to accomplish.
(Surah Qaf:44)

—As if hastening on to a goal, they will follow the inviter who
will call them with their necks extended towards him. This call will
be dissimilar to any other call hitherto heard:
... On the Day the Summoner summons them to something

unspeakably terrible. (Surat al-Qamar: 6)
