Transliteration:( Wa taraknaa ba'dahum Yawma'iziny yamooju fee ba'dinw wa nufikha fis Soori fajama'naahum jam'aa )
"And on that day, We will leave them, with some of them surging against others [220]. Then the trumpet will be blown, and We will gather them all together [221]."
This verse refers to the time when Gog and Magog will be released near the end of times. Their vast numbers will cause chaotic surging, like waves crashing upon each other. The earth will witness a scene of intense disorder and crowding, as their population overwhelms regions, sparking terror and destruction. The phrase "surging against each other" reflects the magnitude and frenzy of their emergence.
The second part of the verse refers to the blowing of the Trumpet (Sur) by Hazrat Israfeel (عليه السلام). This signals the start of Qiyamah (the Day of Judgement). At that moment, all creation will be gathered—from every nation, time, and place. The release of Gog and Magog and the blowing of the Trumpet are part of the final chain of events that will lead to universal resurrection and accountability before Allah.
The tafsir of Surah Kahf verse 99 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Kahf ayat 97 which provides the complete commentary from verse 97 through 99.
(18:99) And on that Day[73] We shall let some of them surge like waves against others, and the Trumpet shall be blown. Then We shall gather them all together.
73. “That Day”: “The Day of Resurrection”. As if to continue the theme of life after death to which Zul-Qarnain referred as the time of my Lord’s promise, the Quran has added (Surah Al-Kahf, ayat 99-101) to it.
[800]- The day the dam is destroyed.
