Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 79 An-Nazi'at, Ayat 42-44
يَسۡـئَلُوۡنَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ اَيَّانَ مُرۡسٰٮهَا ؕ
﴿79:42﴾
فِيۡمَ اَنۡتَ مِنۡ ذِكۡرٰٮهَاؕ ﴿79:43﴾
اِلٰى رَبِّكَ مُنۡتَهٰٮهَاؕ ﴿79:44﴾
(79:42) They ask you about the Hour: “When will it be?”22 (79:43) What concern do you have to speak about that? (79:44) Its knowledge rests with your Lord.
Notes
22. The disbelievers of Makkah asked this question of the Prophet (peace be
upon him) over and over again. By this they did not mean to know the time and
date of the coming of Resurrection but to mock it. (For further explanation,
see( E.N. 35 of Surah Al-Mulk).
