19. 1 That is, with only one command of Allah and with only one blow (second blowing) of Israfil (عليه السلام), they will rise alive from their graves.

19. 2 That is, before them will be the terrifying scenes of the Day of Resurrection and the hardships of the Plain of Gathering, which they will witness. The blowing or the cry is described as "Zajrah" (rebuke), because the purpose of it is indeed rebuke.
