71. This means all the dead, wherever they may be will hear the call of Hazrat Israfeel (On whom be peace). By this is meant the second Trumpet, which will be for the resurrection of the dead.

72. Immediately on hearing the Trumpet, every dead body will come to life and get out of its grave and walk towards the Field of Accountability, Leading everybody would be the Holy Prophet Jibraeel (On whom be peace) would place the crown on the Holy Prophet's blessed head and put on him the dress of Paradise and take him on the Burraaq.

The Holy Prophet ﷺ departed with all the inmates of the cemeteries of Madina and Makkah (Tafseer Roohul Bayaan).

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Qaf verse 42 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Qaf ayat 41 which provides the complete commentary from verse 41 through 45.

(50:42) the Day when they shall hear the Blast in truth. That will be the Day (for the dead) to come forth.[53]

Ala-Maududi

(50:42) the Day when they shall hear the Blast in truth. That will be the Day (for the dead) to come forth.[53]


53. The words yasmaun-as-saihata bil haqqi can have two meanings:

(1) That all the people will be hearing the cry of the right command.

(2) That they will be hearing the cry rightly.

In the first case the sentence will mean that the people will be hearing the same right command with their ears, which they were not inclined to accept in the world, which they had persistently refused to believe, and mocked the Prophets who had brought it. In the second case it will mean that they will certainly hear this cry, and they will realize that it is no fancy but indeed the cry of Resurrection; they will be left with no doubt that the Day of Resurrection of which they had been forewarned had arrived and the cry that was being raised was of the same.

(42) The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of Emergence [from the graves].
