THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD

The Trumpet will be blown, and those in the heavens and those
in the earth will all lose consciousness, except those Allah wills.
Then it will be blown a second time, and at once they will be

greatest mistakes of their lives, for it causes them to think that the

of their deeds are not yet unfolded, nor have they had a taste of what
is in store for them. Nevertheless, they say "Woe to us!" and rise from
their graves. In reality, they knew that this day would come. In the
Qur'an Allah describes their fear on that Day, as follows:
