يَوْمَ يَسْمَعُونَ الصَّيْحَةَ بِالْحَقِّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ يَوْمُ الْخُرُوجِ

“The Day they will hear the blast [of the Horn] in truth. That is the Day of coming out [from the graves]”

A solemn scene: a true hearing of the Saihah, and the Day of al-Khurooj.

Language Point

بِالْحَقِّ (Bil‑Haqq)
  • Can imply that they will hear the Saihah (blast or cry) “as they should.”
  • Or that they “really will hear it,” i.e., in truth.

Insight

Life of this world (Dunyaa)

This world has two stations for us; both are part of the Dunyaa:

Upon the ground Living on the surface
Under the ground What follows within the Dunyaa

Entering the Hereafter

Then the time will come when we have to leave this world — the Day of الْخُرُوجِ — and enter the world of the hereafter:

Jannah (paradise) One outcome in the hereafter
The Nar (hellfire) Another outcome in the hereafter

Focus on the Moment of Hearing

The Ayah frames a decisive moment: they will hear the Saihah “in truth.” This underscores certainty — a hearing that is real and as it should be — and signals يَوْمُ الْخُرُوجِ, the Day of coming out.
