The terrible hour is a reference to death and the veil torn from people's faces is a reference to the revelation of sins.
How are these references established?
- The author introduces the term "dreadful hour" to refer to the moment when a person dies.
- In the text, the author states that during the dreadful hour, the veil worn by the person who died will be ripped from her/him face, this means that her/him sins will be exposed, without her/him being able to hide them anymore.
This happens because, for the author, death is the moment when the dead person will be judged by God, without being able to hide her/his faults and sins, after all, while she/he was alive and under the judgment of people, the dead person hid her/his sins under a veil.
