➋ By {وَ نُفِخَ فِي الصُّوْرِ فَجَمَعْنٰهُمْ جَمْعًا:’’ الصُّوْرِ ‘‘} is meant the horn into which the angel will blow, and the Resurrection will be established. This explanation is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) himself, as he said: [ اَلصُّوْرُ قَرْنٌ يُنْفَخُ فِيْهِ ] [ أبوداوٗد، السنۃ، باب في ذکر البعث والصور : ۴۷۴۲۔ الصحیحۃ : ۱۰۸۰ ] "The Sur is the horn into which it will be blown." The blowing mentioned in this verse refers to the second blowing, by which all people will come out of their graves and gather in the field of Resurrection.

[82] One meaning of this is that when the wall of Dhul-Qarnayn is reduced to dust, Gog and Magog will surge forth in countless numbers like the waves of the sea. The second meaning is that on the Day of Judgment, when the second trumpet is blown, people will rise from their graves and intermingle like waves, and after that, all will be gathered before Allah in the plain of resurrection.
