The Stronger Position on the Number of Blows into the Trumpet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Are the blows into the Trumpet three or two?
Answer: The correct view is that they are two. This is the preserved view, as it came in the Noble Qur'an and in the authentic hadiths: the Blow of Terror, which is the Blow of Astonishment and Death, and the second is the Blow of Resurrection. So the first is called the Blow of Terror, and it is called the Blow of Astonishment, and it is called the Blow of Death. It is named with these names, and it is mentioned in the statement of the Exalted and Majestic is He: [Al-Mu'minun: 101], and it is mentioned in the statement of the Exalted and Majestic is He: [Al-Naml: 87]. Others said: It is three: the Blow of Terror, where people are terrified but do not die, then the Blow of Astonishment and Death, then the Blow of Resurrection. This came in the hadith of the Trumpet from the hadith of Isma'il ibn Rafi' al-Ansari, but it is weak. The correct view is that there are two blows: the Blow of Terror, which Israfil extends it, he extends it for a long time. So the first thing people hear it, everyone who hears it listens intently and raises his neck, meaning he tilts his neck like this and like this to listen. Then Israfil keeps extending it until it rises and until people are astonished and die. Yes.

So when the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another.
فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ فَلا أَنسَابَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلا يَتَسَاءَلُونَAnd [warn of] the Day the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will be terrified except whom Allah wills. And all will come to Him humbled.
وَيَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَفَزِعَ مَنْ فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَكُلٌّ أَتَوْهُ دَاخِرِينَThe presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
