Surah An-Naba Ayat 18 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi
  • Shaheen International

10. Here, the second blowing of the Trumpet is denoted at which everybody would be resurrected to appear before their Lord. The Day of Judgement will commence with the first blowing of the trumpet and its termination will be with the sending of the inmates of Paradise and Hell to their respective places.

From this we learn that the blowing by the Saints on people is true as it is a means of obtaining their blessings. This is done when it is needed. Observe, Hazrat Jibraeel blew into the collar of the garment of Sayaddah Mariam and Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) blew on a person to raise him to life. Allah Almighty blew into Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace). Thus, blowing is very effective.

11. The believers would be appearing in separate groups with their leaders. The infidels would be appearing in different groups with different leaders. Says the Holy Qur'an: "The day when We shall call every people with their leaders" (S17:V71).
