➋ { وَ خَشَعَتِ الْاَصْوَاتُ … :} That is, despite the countless creatures running and gathering, there will be no noise or commotion. All voices will be lowered for the Most Merciful.

Effects of the Second Blowing of the Trumpet:
This caller will be the angel appointed by Allah, Israfil. In this world, these people did not even tolerate listening to the words of Allah’s caller; rather, they opposed him. But on that day, they will become entirely obedient to the voice of Allah’s caller, and whatever he says, they will do exactly as instructed. If he says, “Go towards the field of resurrection,” then all will rush in that direction. And they will fully understand the voice and command of this caller.
[77] On that day, everyone will be listening attentively to the voice and command of Allah or this angel; no one will have the courage to ask anyone else anything in a loud voice. On that day, either the sound of their footsteps will be heard, or the whispering and murmuring they do among themselves to escape the terrors of that day.
