Reflection — Ibn Kathir
The sounding of the Trumpet and the weighing of Deeds in the Scales.
Allah says that when the Trumpet is blown for the Resurrection, and the people rise from their graves,
فَلاَ أَنسَـبَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلاَ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Reflection — Maarif ul Quran
وَهُمْ فِيهَا كَالِحُونَ And they will be disfigured therein - 23:104). The word is used for a person whose lips do not meet and leave his teeth fully exposed, which looks very ugly. It is said that the upper lip of a person consigned to Hell will be drawn up and his lower lip will be drawn down so that his teeth will remain visible at all times.
