English Translation of Al-Quran
[39].Surah Al-Zumar [The Groups]
Ayat 68. And the Trumpet will be blown, and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth will swoon away, except him whom Allah will. Then it will blow a second time and behold, they will be standing, looking on (waiting).
Tafseer of Surah Al Zumar Ayat 68. The Trumpet will (just) be sounded, when all that are in the heavens and on earth will swoon, except such as it will please Allah (to exempt). Then will a second one be sounded, when, behold, they will be standing and looking on! Sa’iqa implies the idea of a swoon, or loss of all consciousness of being; it implies a cessation of the normal functioning of the usual powers of life or feeling. With the first Trumpet of the Resurrection, the whole world will cease to be in the form and the relations which we see now: there will be a new heaven and a new earth, see 14:48, human souls will for the time being be dazed and lose all memory or consciousness of time or place or personality. With the second one, they will stand in a new world; they will see with clearer vision than ever before; and judgment will proceed.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Kaab bin Iyad (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, “Verily, there is a Fitnah (trial) for every nation and the trial for my nation (or Ummah) is wealth.”
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 2336].
Lesson : The word “Fitnah” means trial. Anything with which a person is tried is a Fitnah for him. For this reason, children and property have been regarded as Fitnah for mankind in the Noble Qur’an. This Hadith strongly urges the Muslim Ummah to exercise moderation in their love for worldly goods and riches otherwise all these things, which are Gifts of Allah, can become a source of woeful torture for them.
