يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلدَّاعِىَ لَا عِوَجَ لَهُۥ ۖ وَخَشَعَتِ ٱلْأَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ فَلَا تَسْمَعُ إِلَّا هَمْسًا
Yawmai th in yattabiAAoona a l dd a AAiya l a AAiwaja lahu wakhashaAAati ala s w a tu li l rra h m a ni fal a tasmaAAu ill a hams a n
On that Day, all will follow the summoning Voice from which there will be no escape;91 and all sounds will be hushed before the Most Gracious, and thou wilt hear nothing but a faint sough in the air.
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "the caller in whom there will be no deviation (la 'iwaja lahu)" - i.e., the summons to the Last Judgment.

- On that Day the people will follow the call of the Caller, no one will dare show any crookedness; their voices hushed before the Beneficent (Allah), and you shall here nothing but the sound of the marching feet.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
On that Day all will follow the caller 'for assembly', 'and' none will dare to deviate. All voices will be hushed before the Most Compassionate. Only whispers1 will be heard.
  - Mustafa Khattab

 This can also mean “footsteps.”

On that day they follow the summoner who deceiveth not, and voices are hushed for the Beneficent, and thou hearest but a faint murmur.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
On that Day will they follow the Caller (straight): no crookedness (can they show) him: all sounds shall humble themselves in the presence of (Allah) Most Gracious: nothing shalt thou hear but the tramp of their feet (as they march). 2632 2633
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The Caller: the angel whose voice will call and direct all souls.

A beautiful personification of hushed Sound. First there is the loud blast of the Trumpet. Then there is the stillness and hush of awe and reverence: only the tramp of the ranks marching along will be heard.
