The Troops
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE
[39:68]
And [on that Day,] the trumpet [of judgment] will be sounded, and all [creatures] that are in the heavens and all that are on earth will fall down senseless. unless they be such as God wills [to exempt].
And then it will sound again – and lo! standing [before the Seat of Judgment], they will begin to see [the truth]!


* v.68 : Cf. 37:19.
* I.e., with a clear revelation of His will. See also 14:48, where it is stated that on Resurrection Day “the earth shall be changed into another earth, as shall be the heavens.” A further allusion to this transformation (and not annihilation) of the universe is found in 20:105-107.
