The Events at the Beginning of the Day of Judgment:

From here, the mention of some of the states of the Day of Judgment begins, which was alluded to in verse 3 of this surah. That is, the beginning of the Day of Judgment will be with the first blowing of the trumpet. The immediate effect of this blowing will be that death will overtake all living creatures.
