When the Horn Blows: What Happens Next?

Alhamdulillah.

[Silence]

Continuing in the second chapter of the Quran to be revealed to the prophet sallall.aii wasallam. The first verses that we spoke of those first 10 verses they were revealed to the prophet sallall.aii alaihi wasallam at an earlier time. We know that the very first seven verses or some scholars say five of were the next thing to be revealed to the prophet sallall.aii Wasam after sometime after the remaining part of was revealed. Now how do we know this? Well, we know this because of the tone and the subject matter of the chapter. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says," he says, "And when the horn is blown, the horn that will commence the day of judgment, then that is a day that is very, very difficult and it will be a day that will not be easy upon the disbelievers. Notice the wording here. He says, "Subhan, and when the horn is blown, this horn is held by he is one of the eight angels that bear and carry the throne of Allah subhanahu.

[Arabic recitation]

This horn was described to us by the prophet sallall.aii Wasam as being a horn of light and that is one of the greatest one of the greatest angels of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and al- Mustad the prophet sallall.aii wasallam said.

[Silence]

He said, "Allah has given me permission to describe to you all an angel from those angels that carry the throne of Allah. What it the distance between his earlobe to his shoulder is 700 years travel. These are the angels that carry the throne of Allah and Israel. is one of those angels and he has been given the great honor and responsibility of blowing into the horn. Now blowing into the horn, how many blows into the horn will there be? The scholars of Islam differ on this issue because the Quran mentions three blows into the horn. He mentions subhanahu.

[Silence]

He mentions subhanahu waala that when the horn is blown the people will rise up out of their graves. waves and come forward to be judged by Allah. So this is one one blow into the horn we know will be the the blow that commences the day of judgment. Everything will have its soul returned to him. Everyone will have his soul returned to him and will be brought up out of his grave and come forth to be judged by Allah. In another verse, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says he mentions that a blow into the horn will cause mass hysteria. an incredible terror and horror that will fill the hearts of everyone in the heavens and the earth except for those whom Allah has exempted from that fear. In another verse, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentions he mentions that when the horn is blown, everyone in the heavens and in the earth will be struck down. Will be struck down. So here we have three blows into the horn. seemingly. And so as such, because of these three different descriptions of the results of blowing into that horn, some of the scholars like stipulates that there are three blows into the horn on the day of judgment. However, the majority of the scholars of Islam and the majority of the scholars of Tapsi, as Iben Kir has mentioned in his taps, are of the opinion that these are actually two blows into the horn, not three. They are two. One blow, everyone in the heavens and in the earth will be struck with fear and terror and will be struck down. So that is the blow into the horn that will end and obliterate this world, all that is on it, and the heavens and the earth as we know them. When that horn is blown on that day, it will be blown upon the worst of mankind that have ever existed. The prophet Sam said in Muslim he said the hour will commence the day of judgment when the sky is split open when the earth is shook to the point where the where the mountains on the earth turn to dust again is how violently the earth will shake. It will destroy the mountains and flatten the earth. The seas and the oceans will dry up and in their place fire will ignite. The stars will streak down the sky in chaos. Everything that I have described to you are descriptions of what will happen when blows into that horn and the day of judgment will commence upon the second blowing. This first blow into the horn will end the life of this world. everything. A person may say, "How is it that the hour or that first blow into the horn will be upon the worst of humanity?" Where are the Muslim at that time? There are no more Muslim upon the earth. There is no more Quran upon the earth. And the prophet Sam said that a night will come. He said, "A night will come when Allah will collect back every verse of the Quran and there will not remain a single verse of the Quran upon the earth. Person will open whatever there is of a mus and it will be empty. There will be no more verses of the Quran. No person on earth will know a single verse of the Quran anymore. The only thing left in the mouths or upon the tongues of the Muslim of that day will be that's all they will know of Islam anymore. It will completely be gone. The prophet sallallah.aii alaihi wasallam tells us that Allah will take back all of the Quran and there will not be any Muslims anymore. There will just be pockets of Muslims here and there who all they know of Islam isahill. They will say as is inbah we remember our forefathers used to sayahill. So we say it but we do not know what it means. They will not be making salah. There will be no giving zakah. The pillars of Islam will be forgotten by the people at this time. Then the Quran will be collected and then an animal will come out upon the people. The scholars differ. Does this animal come out before the sun rises from the west or does this animal come out after? It said this and that. But what is apparent is that the sun will rise from the west. a considerable amount of time before this animal emerges upon the people. This animal will come out and speak to the people in an intelligible language and will brand every person as a believer or a disbeliever. This is after the sun rises from the west. And the prophet sallallah.aii alaihi wasallam said when the sun rises from the west everyone upon the earth will simultaneously and immediately believe. However, their belief will be rejected at that point. The door of repentance will be closed and salvation will have come to an end. The prophet sallall.aii alaihi wasallam tells us that near the end of time there will be as is in Muslim a wind a a a kind of air that will move through the earth and take the life of every believing man and woman from the human human beings upon the earth and there will only remain disbelievers upon that day. I know that when we speak about these issues, many of us will be listening and say, "Well, how does that happen? How is that going to happen?" It will happen. How it happens is probably unfathomable to us at this point. However, this is what our prophet sallall.aii wasallam has told us. As for us trying to understand how these things will occur, Allah, this is something we will only come to realize the knowledge of if we see it. That's the only way. A man came to the prophet sallall.aii Wasam after having heard a verse in the Quran where Allah says that those who have disbelieved or those who have rejected the message of Allah that Allah will gather them on the day of judgment and they will be walking on their faces upside down. A man came and asked the prophet sallall.aii alaihi wasallam how will they be walking on their faces he's trying to imagine how does this happen the prophet sallallahu alaii wasallam asked him the one who has made humanity to walk on its legs is he not able to make humanity walk on its face he said yes of course this is the answer that the prophet sallallahu alaihi Wasam gave he didn't explain to him how this will happen. It's inconsequential. If you were to know how this happens, it would not increase your faith and iota. It does not affect it is not a knowledge that is necessary for you or I to know. What is necessary is for us to know that it will happen. How? Allah. And so the only ones that will remain upon the earth are the most wicked of humanity. The prophet sallall.aii wasallam said humanity will be of such wickedness and such and such shamelessness that men and women will fornicate with one another in the streets. And the best amongst them will be a person who says, "If you only just took it out of the street to the side of the street so that we could pass by and you wouldn't interrupt the traffic." This is the best of people amongst them. This is the closest they will come to commanding the good or forbidding the evil. After this, the prophet sallall.aii said in Muslim, the horn will then be blown. A man will be buying a piece of fabric and when they hear that horn being blown, he will extend the money to give. And when they hear it, everyone will freeze and his hand will freeze out of terror. And the man giving the merchandise will freeze. And before that they will notice that the animals are unruly because the animals sense that something is happening. Something is going to happen. The Kaa will have been destroyed by then. The prophet sallall.aii alaihi wasallam's masid will be as he described to where foxes and wild animals will urinate in the place where his member once stood. The hour will be established upon these people. And so Allah describes what this first blow into the horn will affect the effect that it will have. It will strike everyone in the heavens and the earth with black terror, a wave of terror that will make them as if they are drunk and mindless. And it will strike down everyone in the heavens and the earth except for those whom Allah has exempted. After that there will be 40 of silence. 40 days 40 years there will be no one alive except for Allah. No other living thing in the heavens or in the earth. All of the angels everyone. And then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will bring is back to life. He will give him the horn again. He will blow into the horn. And the souls will then match up and be married with their respective bodies of their hosts. And people will come forth from their graves to be judged by Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala. And so when the horn is blown, That is a day which will indeed be a day of severity and extreme difficulty upon the disbelievers. Not easy in any way. It will be very uneasy for the disbeliever.

[Silence]

40 years plus 40 days.

[Arabic recitation]

Will be the scholars differ. Is it days days we have here on earth? Or is it Allah said that a day with your Lord is a a thousand years of your of what we experience? So is it a thousand is it 40 days of our days or is it 40 days of the days of with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Allah? Now, and just a reminder, tomorrow is J. The prophet sallall.aii wasallam has said that the most beloved salah to Allah throughout the week is in the masid in J on the morning of J. If you don't usually come for fud and it is reasonable and possible you want to choose a day to start to get into that habit tomorrow the j is a very very good place to start now.
