وَٱسْتَمِعْ يَوْمَ يُنَادِ ٱلْمُنَادِ مِن مَّكَانٍ قَرِيبٍ
Wa i stamiAA yawma yun a di almun a di min mak a nin qareeb in
And [always] listen for the day when He who issues the call [of death] shall call [thee] from close by;33
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "from a place nearby" - i.e., from within man himself: an echo of verse {15}, "We are closer to him than his neck-vein". The "call" spoken of here is evidently the call of death, for which man should always be prepared.

And listen! The Day when the Caller will call out from a place quite near,
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And listen! On the Day the caller will call out from a near place,
  - Mustafa Khattab
And listen on the day when the crier crieth from a near place,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And listen for the Day when the Caller will call out from a place quite near 4980 4981
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The Day of Resurrection, when the Call to the souls to arise and come to the Judgment-Seat will be immediately answered, and they will all arise and come forth. Cf. xxxvi. 49-53, and notes 3997 and 3999.

In the life of this world it seemed all so remote. In the new life at the Resurrection it will all be so near; for there will be neither time nor space as we know them here.
