فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ
Fainnam a hiya zajratun w ah idatun fai tha hum yan th uroon a
for that [resurrection which they deride] will be [upon them of a sudden, as if it were] but a single accusing cry - and then, lo! they will begin to see [the truth]
  - Mohammad Asad
It will be just a single cry, and they will see it all with their own eyes.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
It will only take one Blast,1 then at once they will see 'it all'.
  - Mustafa Khattab

 This is when the Trumpet will be blown the second time.

There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Then it will be a single (compelling) cry; and behold they will begin to see! 4045 4056
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Selfish arrogance was the seed of sin and rebellion: ii. 34 (of Satan): xxviii. 39 (of Pharaoh); etc. It is that kind of arrogance which prevents man from mending his life and conduct. When he speaks of ancestral ways, or public opinion, or national honour, he is usually thinking of himself or of a small clique which thrives on injustice. The recognition of Allah, the one true God, as the only standard of life and conduct, the Eternal Reality, cuts out Self, and is therefore disagreeable to Sin. If false gods are imagined, who themselves would have weaknesses that fit in with sin, they give countenance to evils, and it becomes difficult to give them up, unless Allah's grace comes to our assistance.

Cf. xxxvi. 29, 49, and 53.
