6 8. 1. According to some, after the Nafkhah Faza’, this is the second blowing, i.e., Nafkhah Sa’q, by which everyone will die. Some have described the sequence of these blowings as follows: the first is Nafkhat al-Fana’, the second is Nafkhat al-Ba’th, the third is Nafkhat al-Sa’q, and the fourth is Nafkhat al-Qiyam li Rabb al-‘Alamin. (Aysar al-Tafasir) According to some, there are only two blowings: Nafkhah al-Mawt and Nafkhah al-Ba’th, and according to some, there are three. And Allah knows best.

68. 2. That is, those whom Allah wills will not die, such as Jibril, Mika’il, and Israfil. Some say Ridwan, the angel, the bearers of the Throne (Hamalat al-‘Arsh), and the keepers appointed over Paradise and Hell. Fath al-Qadir

68. 3. According to those who believe in four blowings, this is the fourth; according to those who believe in three, this is the third; and according to those who believe in two, this is the second blowing. In any case, with this blowing, all will come to life and be present in the field of resurrection before the Lord of the worlds, where the reckoning will take place.
