[3142] Most scholars consider this ‘day’ to be the day on which the first blow of the Trumpet (al-nafkhat al-ūlā fī al-ṣūr) will be sounded and all creatures both in the Heavens and on Earth will be struck dead (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Baghawī, Ibn al-Jawzī, al-Shinqīṭī, Aḍwā’ al-Bayān). Only God Almighty Knows when this day will be (cf. al-Rāzī). However, both Ibn Kathīr and al-Shawkānī deem the ‘day’ mentioned here to be the Day of Judgement.
