The Day of Calling
وَيَٰقَوۡمِ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلتَّنَادِ ٣٢
And, O my people! Lo! I fear for you a Day of Summoning.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
“O my people, I fear for you the Day of Calling.”
Insight
Elmalılı explains “yawm at-tanad” as the day of calling out and crying to one another; it is a name of the Day of Resurrection, for that day they will cry out to each other.
Reflect
Prepare today so you won’t cry out that day.
