My question relates to this verse: > And the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will fall dead except whom Allah wills. Then it will be blown again, and at once they will be standing, looking on. -- Qur'an 39:68 I've read that the horn (or "trumpet") will be blown by the angel Israfil ; Wikipedia (linking to Encyclopedia Britannica ) writes: > Israfil will blow the trumpet from a holy rock in Jerusalem to announce the Day of Resurrection. The trumpet is constantly poised at his lips, ready to be blown when God so orders. People live all over the world, so I'm wondering how people would hear this trumpet (if they do). Maybe it's incredibly loud that the entire world would hear it, but a literal point-source sound that loud would have major physical ramifications. **Question**: Can the whole world hear Israfil's trumpet?
