When the Horn Is Blown
فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِي ٱلنَّاقُورِ ٨
For when the trumpet shall sound.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And when the trumpet is sounded.
Insight
Elmalılı explains “naqur” as a horn blown by mouth; the word also means striking and pecking, for when the horn is blown the air within is pressed and struck.
Reflect
Prepare before the Trumpet is blown.
