But when one blast shall be blown on the trumpet, And the earth and the mountains shall be upheaved, and shall both be crushed into dust at a single crushing, On that day the woe that must come suddenly shall suddenly come, And the angels shall be on its sides, and over them on that day eight shall bear up the throne of thy Lord. On that day ye will be exposed; not a secret of you will be hidden.
- Qur’an, 69:13-17
The inevitable hath come to pass; witness how they have cast it behind their backs! This is the Day whereon every man will fly from himself, how much more from his kindred, could ye but perceive it. Say: By God! The blast hath been blown on the trumpet, and lo, mankind hath swooned away before us! The Herald hath cried out, and the Summoner raised His voice saying: "The Kingdom is God's, the Most Powerful, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.
- Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 43
