➋ The exegete Ibn Ashur said: From {’’ يَوْمَ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ‘‘} to {’’ يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ ‘‘}, the terror of that day is manifested in seven ways: (1) {’’ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ ‘‘} The call of Israfil (peace be upon him) itself is so terrifying that it cannot be described. (2) In {’’ اِلٰى شَيْءٍ ‘‘}, the grandeur and ambiguity created by the indefinite tanween on {’’ شَيْءٍ ‘‘} add to this terror. (3) {’’ نُكُرٍ ‘‘} (4) {’’ خُشَّعًا اَبْصَارُهُمْ ‘‘} (5) The comparison with {’’ جَرَادٌ مُّنْتَشِرٌ ‘‘}. (6) {’’ مُهْطِعِيْنَ اِلَى الدَّاعِ ‘‘} (7) And their saying {’’ هٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ ‘‘} "that this is a very difficult day."
