يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَّبِعُونَ الدَّاعِيَ لَا عِوَجَ لَهُ ۖ وَخَشَعَتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ فَلَا تَسْمَعُ إِلَّا هَمْسًا

That Day, everyone will follow [the call of] the Caller [with] no deviation therefrom, and [all] voices will be stilled before the Most Merciful, so you will not hear except a whisper [of footsteps].

On that Day the people will come straight to the call of the summoner; no one will dare show any haughtiness, and all the voices will be hushed before the Merciful and you will hear nothing but a whispering murmur.84
84The original Arabic word (hams) is used for the sound of footsteps, the sound of whispering and other low sounds. What it implies here is that the people will be so awe-stricken on that Day that there will be no sound other than that of footsteps and whispering.

But after the blowing away of the mountains, the storm dies down and the gathered multitudes listen attentively. Every movement and every little sound is hushed. They all listen to the voice that calls them to group together, and they follow its commands submissively, acting promptly, turning neither here nor there. This is a totally different reaction from the one they showed in this life when they were called on to follow divine guidance, but they turned away and refused. We note the perfect harmony of expression when the response to the summoning voice is total, with no escape, while the old mountains are now part of the flat, level earth that has no curve or elevation. This is followed by a state of perfect silence, with no sound to be heard: "All sounds will be hushed before the Most Merciful, and you will hear nothing but a faint sough in the air." (Verse 108)

On the Day, they see these conditions and these frightening sights, they will hastily respond to the caller. Wherever they are commanded to go, they will rush to it. If they had been like this in the worldly life, it would have been more beneficial for them, but here it does not benefit them. This is as Allah says,﴿أَسْمِعْ بِهِمْ وَأَبْصِرْ يَوْمَ يَأْتُونَنَا﴾(How clearly will they see and hear, the Day when they will appear before Us!) ﴿19:38﴾ Allah also says,﴿مُّهْطِعِينَ إِلَى الدَّاعِ﴾(hastening towards the caller.) Concerning Allah's statement,﴿وَخَشَعَتِ الأَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمَـنِ﴾(And all voices will be humbled for the Most Gracious,) Ibn `Abbas said, "This means they will be silent.'' As-Suddi also said the same.﴿فَلاَ تَسْمَعُ إِلاَّ هَمْساً﴾(And nothing shall you hear except Hamsa.) Sa`id bin Jubayr related that Ibn `Abbas said, "This means the steps of feet.'' `Ikrimah, Mujahid, Ad-Dahhak, Ar-Rabi` bin Anas, Qatadah, Ibn Zayd and others all said the same. `Ali bin Abi Talhah said that Ibn `Abbas said,﴿فَلاَ تَسْمَعُ إِلاَّ هَمْساً﴾(And nothing shall you hear except Hamsa.) "Hamsa means a hidden voice.'' This has also been repor- ted from `Ikrimah and Ad-Dahhak. Sa`id bin Jubayr said,﴿فَلاَ تَسْمَعُ إِلاَّ هَمْساً﴾(And nothing shall you hear except Hamsa.) "Hamsa means the secret speech and the steps of feet.''
