An-Naba 78:17–20
The Day of Decision
إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتًۭا ١٧ يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًۭا ١٨ وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًۭا ١٩ وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا ٢٠
The meaning, simply
The Day of Resurrection has a fixed time with Allah. On it the angel blows the trumpet, people rise from their graves and come in groups, the sky is opened, and the mountains are moved from their places until they are like a mirage.
