meaning, in justice, and He is their Originator and Owner Who governs their affairs and the affairs of their inhabitants.

Allah said,

وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ كُن فَيَكُونُ

and on the Day He will say:"Be!" it shall become.

Referring to the Day of Resurrection, which will come faster than the blink of an eye, when Allah says to it, `Be.'

As-Sur; The Trumpet

Allah's statement,

وَلَهُ الْمُلْكُ يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّوَرِ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ وَهُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْخَبِيرُ

His will be the dominion on the Day when the Sur will be blown. All-Knower of the unseen and the seen. He is the All-Wise, Well-Aware.

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّوَرِ

(on the Day when the Sur will be blown...),

refers to His statement,

وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ كُن فَيَكُونُ

(and on the Day He will say:"Be!" it shall become). as we stated above.

Or, it means,

وَلَهُ الْمُلْكُ يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّوَرِ

(His will be the dominion on the Day when the Sur will be blown).

Allah said in other Ayat,

لِّمَنِ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ لِلَّهِ الْوَحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ

Whose is the kingdom this Day It is Allah's, the One, the Irresistible! (40:16)

and,

الْمُلْكُ يَوْمَيِذٍ الْحَقُّ لِلرَّحْمَـنِ وَكَانَ يَوْماً عَلَى الْكَـفِرِينَ عَسِيراً

The sovereignty on that Day will be the true (sovereignty), belonging to the Most Beneficent (Allah), and it will be a hard Day for the disbelievers. (25:26)

The Sur is the Trumpet into which the angel Israfil, peace be upon him, will blow.

The Messenger of Allah said,

إِنَّ إِسْرَافِيلَ قَدِ الْتَقَمَ الصُّورَ وَحَنَى جَبْهَتَهُ يَنْتَظِرُ مَتَى يُوْمَر فَيَنْفُخ

Israfil has held the Sur in his mouth and lowered his forehead, awaiting the command to blow in it.

Muslim recorded this Hadith in his Sahih.

Imam Ahmad recorded that Abdullah bin `Amr said,

"A Bedouin man said, `O Allah's Messenger! What is the Sur?'

He said,

قَرْنٌ يُنْفَخُ فِيه

A Trumpet which will be blown.
