The Great Seizure
يَوۡمَ نَبۡطِشُ ٱلۡبَطۡشَةَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ ١٦
On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in truth We shall punish.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
The Day We will strike with the greatest assault, indeed We will take retribution.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is the Resurrection; by the second report, the great seizure is a prelude before it.
Reflect
Do a good deed today to be shielded from that day.
