There maybe a similar case on Islamic event (Signs) that will occur at the end times? I hope i don't get attacked lol.
In the quran Sura 6: verse 73 states :
"It is He who created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): the day He saith, "Be," behold! it is. His word is the truth. His will be
the dominion the day the "trumpet will be blown". He knoweth the unseen as well as that which is open. For He is the Wise, well acquainted (with all
things)." (Qur'an 6:73)
A trumpet is traditionally an instrument of announcement - it is used to announce an event, or the commencement of something important to all the
people. For example, it may herald the return of a king to his subjects - and a time of accounting follows this arrival as the king asks all those who
were his representatives and who were responsible for his kingdom to account for the current state of the kingdom. So it can also indicate an
announcement of the commencement of a time of accounting and judgement - a time when the dominion, rulership, and judgement passes directly back into
the hands of the king and the entire kingdom is called to account for what has transpired within it.
The blowing of the trumpet in this verse signifies the calling of everything that is in the heavens and earth to an accounting. It signifies a
transformation of all existence as described in surah 69:13-17.
"And when the trumpet is blown with a single blast, And the earth and the mountains are borne away and dissolved like powder.... On that day you
shall be exposed to view - no secret of yours shall remain hidden." (Qur'an 69:13-17)
When the Prophet was asked about this trumpet he said, "It is a horn of light upon which Israfil blows."
And the blowing of the trumpet is a twofold blowing, not a single blowing. The Qur'an says, "The trumpet will be sounded, when all that is in the
heavens and the earth will swoon away, except such as it will please God to exempt. Then will a second one be sounded, when, behold, they will be
standing and looking on!" (Qur'an 39:68)
So, what is a possible meaning of the two blowings of the trumpet?
God created the heavens and earth with Truth. He creates with the creative command: "Be!" And whatever he commands enters into being. This creative
"Be" encompasses all times and places. Since God is beyond time and place (being the creator of time and place), His command enters from beyond these
limited realms and manifests itself in this world of time, place, and form in the best, most appropriate manner. His creative command takes a shape, a
form when it enters this universe we live in. It can enter into this world in multiple places and times as necessary to create what needs to be
created - activating whatever sequences of cause and effect and whatever intersecting destinies are required to create what needs to be created and
cause what needs to be caused. So underlying all the forms of this world is the Truth and Power of commands that are veiled from us by the forms and
limits of existence and by the boundaries of our perceptions and the fact that all our instruments of perception operate within the limits of this
universe. We are limited in our ability to perceive form, place, and time and we are limited from perceiving what is beyond form, place, and time.
The process of thought, memory, and intellect nevertheless allows us to push our understanding somewhat beyond the limits of form and matter. By use
of our intellect we are able to penetrate to some extent beyond the forms of the material world. But our understanding of these matters is shadowy,
vague, theoretical, speculative, filled with mystery. It is not a clear direct perception but a fuzzy, shadowy perception.
Light illuminates - it reveals what was concealed, lifts the mystery of things that were in shadow by illuminating and revealing what was not clear.
Israfil's trumpet is a trumpet of light - an illuminating trumpet that reveals with clarity what was only dimly perceived or understood, what was
shrouded in the darkness of matter and the darkness of our limited
understanding.
