Will Israfil be resurrected first to blow the third trumpet (the trumpet of resurrection), or will Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) be the first to be resurrected without Israfil's intervention?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The blowing of the Trumpet consists of two blasts: the blast of annihilation, by which people die, and the blast of resurrection, by which they are brought back to life. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, will be the first to regain consciousness after the annihilation and the first for whom the earth will split open. There are two possibilities: The first is that Israfil will be resurrected before the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, to blow the blast of resurrection. The second is that Israfil is among those whom Allah has exempted from death.
