يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الرُّوحُ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ صَفًّا ۖ لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا ۝ ذَٰلِكَ الْيَوْمُ الْحَقُّ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِ مَآبًا

"The Day when the Spirit and the angels will stand in rows, they will not speak except for one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission, and he will speak what is right. That is the True Day. So whoever wills may take, to his Lord, a way back."

جس دن روح (جبریل) اور فرشتے صفوں میں کھڑے ہوں گے، کوئی بات نہیں کہے گا مگر جسے رحمان اجازت دے اور وہ صحیح بات کہے۔ یہ وہ حق دن ہے۔ پس جو چاہے اپنے رب کی طرف واپسی کا راستہ اختیار کرے۔

Explanation

Every year we experience periods of calm weather followed by gales bringing clouds and rainstorms. Soon it is clearly visible that where the land was desolate, a new world has sprung up. This event of nature indicates the possibility of the Hereafter. This shows in symbolic fashion that the emergence of the Hereafter from the present world is just as possible as the emergence of lush green foliage from dry barren land.
