The Promised DayThe Day of Decision

This term has been used in only verse of the Qura’n. In verse 42 while describing the blowing of the trumpet it is said:

“The day when they will here the trumpet that will be the day of their coming out. (From the graves)”

Yes, that is the day of returning from death to life, the return from the purgatory to the hereafter, from the inside to the outside and the manifest from the hidden.

The same meaning is conveyed in verse 43 of Surah Maarij where it says:

“The day when they will come out of their graves quickly as racing to their goal.”(1)

This explanation tell us that in the beginning the events of the Day of Judgment will take place at a fast pace and this is also a snub for the idolaters and idolatry; the same idolatry which was the sole purpose of these idolaters and to which these lesser intelligent people paid the most attention so much so that running towards the idols has been termed as “racing”.

On any day of celebration, sadness or a return from journey they would rush to these idols and this tells us that the verse has a fine point secreted in it.


 

1. “Sara’ “is the plural of “Saree’”. It means something that moves fast. “Nasab is the plural of Naseeb and Naseeb too is the plural of Nasab. It means something that has been installed just like the idols. Some say that it is different from “Sanam” because this has a special form and shape while Nasab is just a piece of stone that was respected and the blood of the sacrificed animal was poured on it.
