Sura: AL‑AN‘ĀM 

Aya : 31

قَدۡ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِلِقَآءِ ٱللَّهِۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَتۡهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغۡتَةٗ قَالُواْ يَٰحَسۡرَتَنَا عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطۡنَا فِيهَا وَهُمۡ يَحۡمِلُونَ أَوۡزَارَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِمۡۚ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَزِرُونَ

Those will have lost who deny the meeting with AllŒh, until when the Hour [of resurrection] comes upon them unexpectedly, they will say, "Oh, [how great is] our regret over what we neglected concerning it [i.e., the Hour]," while they bear their burdens [i.e., sins] on their backs. Unquestionably, evil is that which they bear.



Sura: AL‑AN‘ĀM 

Aya : 40

قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتَكُمۡ إِنۡ أَتَىٰكُمۡ عَذَابُ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡ أَتَتۡكُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ أَغَيۡرَ ٱللَّهِ تَدۡعُونَ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

Say, "Have you considered:[1] if there came to you the punishment of AllŒh or there came to you the Hour is it other than AllŒh you would invoke, if you should be truthful?"


1- The meaning is understood to be "Tell me..."


Sura: AL‑A‘RĀF  

Aya : 187

يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرۡسَىٰهَاۖ قُلۡ إِنَّمَا عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّيۖ لَا يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقۡتِهَآ إِلَّا هُوَۚ ثَقُلَتۡ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ لَا تَأۡتِيكُمۡ إِلَّا بَغۡتَةٗۗ يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِيٌّ عَنۡهَاۖ قُلۡ إِنَّمَا عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

They ask you, [O Muúammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?[1] Say, "Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It lays heavily[2] upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly." They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, "Its knowledge is only with AllŒh, but most of the people do not know."


1- Literally, "resting" or "establishment."
2- i.e., it is a source of concern, worry or fear.


Sura: YŪSUF 

Aya : 107

أَفَأَمِنُوٓاْ أَن تَأۡتِيَهُمۡ غَٰشِيَةٞ مِّنۡ عَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡ تَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ

Then do they feel secure that there will not come to them an overwhelming [aspect] of the punishment of AllŒh or that the Hour will not come upon them suddenly while they do not perceive?



Sura: AN-NAḤL 

Aya : 77

وَلِلَّهِ غَيۡبُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَمَآ أَمۡرُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ إِلَّا كَلَمۡحِ ٱلۡبَصَرِ أَوۡ هُوَ أَقۡرَبُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ

And to AllŒh belongs the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. And the command for the Hour is not but as a glance of the eye or even nearer. Indeed, AllŒh is over all things competent.



Sura: ṬĀ HĀ 

Aya : 15

إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخۡفِيهَا لِتُجۡزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفۡسِۭ بِمَا تَسۡعَىٰ

Indeed, the Hour is coming I almost conceal it[1] so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives.


1- Meaning that AllŒh (subúŒnahu wa taÔŒlŒ) keeps knowledge of the Hour hidden from everyone except Himself.


Sura: AL‑ḤAJJ 

Aya : 1

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ ٱتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمۡۚ إِنَّ زَلۡزَلَةَ ٱلسَّاعَةِ شَيۡءٌ عَظِيمٞ

O mankind, fear your Lord. Indeed, the convulsion of the [final] Hour is a terrible thing.



Sura: AR-RŪM 

Aya : 12

وَيَوۡمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ يُبۡلِسُ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ

And the Day the Hour appears the criminals will be in despair.



Sura: AR-RŪM 

Aya : 14

وَيَوۡمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ يَوۡمَئِذٖ يَتَفَرَّقُونَ

And the Day the Hour appears that Day they will become separated.



Sura: AL‑AḤZĀB 

Aya : 63

يَسۡـَٔلُكَ ٱلنَّاسُ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِۖ قُلۡ إِنَّمَا عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِۚ وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ تَكُونُ قَرِيبًا

People ask you concerning the Hour. Say, "Knowledge of it is only with AllŒh. And what may make you perceive? Perhaps the Hour is near."



Sura: SABA’ 

Aya : 3

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَا تَأۡتِينَا ٱلسَّاعَةُۖ قُلۡ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّي لَتَأۡتِيَنَّكُمۡ عَٰلِمِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِۖ لَا يَعۡزُبُ عَنۡهُ مِثۡقَالُ ذَرَّةٖ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَلَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَآ أَصۡغَرُ مِن ذَٰلِكَ وَلَآ أَكۡبَرُ إِلَّا فِي كِتَٰبٖ مُّبِينٖ

But those who disbelieve say, "The Hour will not come to us." Say, "Yes, by my Lord, it will surely come to you. [AllŒh is] the Knower of the unseen." Not absent from Him is an atom's weight[1] within the heavens or within the earth or [what is] smaller than that or greater, except that it is in a clear register


1- Or "the weight of a small ant."


Sura: GHĀFIR 

Aya : 59

إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَأٓتِيَةٞ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيهَا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

Indeed, the Hour is coming no doubt about it but most of the people do not believe.



Sura: FUṢṢILAT 

Aya : 47

۞إِلَيۡهِ يُرَدُّ عِلۡمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِۚ وَمَا تَخۡرُجُ مِن ثَمَرَٰتٖ مِّنۡ أَكۡمَامِهَا وَمَا تَحۡمِلُ مِنۡ أُنثَىٰ وَلَا تَضَعُ إِلَّا بِعِلۡمِهِۦۚ وَيَوۡمَ يُنَادِيهِمۡ أَيۡنَ شُرَكَآءِي قَالُوٓاْ ءَاذَنَّـٰكَ مَامِنَّا مِن شَهِيدٖ

To Him [alone] is attributed knowledge of the Hour. And fruits emerge not from their coverings nor does a female conceive or give birth except with His knowledge. And the Day He will call to them, "Where are My 'partners'?" they will say, "We announce to You that there is [no longer] among us any witness [to that]."



Sura: AZ-ZUKHRUF 

Aya : 66

هَلۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ أَن تَأۡتِيَهُم بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ

Are they waiting except for the Hour to come upon them suddenly while they perceive not?



Sura: AL‑JĀTHIYAH 

Aya : 32

وَإِذَا قِيلَ إِنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٞ وَٱلسَّاعَةُ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيهَا قُلۡتُم مَّا نَدۡرِي مَا ٱلسَّاعَةُ إِن نَّظُنُّ إِلَّا ظَنّٗا وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُسۡتَيۡقِنِينَ

And when it was said, 'Indeed, the promise of AllŒh is truth and the Hour [is coming] no doubt about it,' you said, 'We know not what is the Hour. We assume only assumption, and we are not convinced.'"



Sura: ADH-DHĀRIYĀT 

Aya : 5

إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٞ

Indeed, what you are promised is true.



Sura: ADH-DHĀRIYĀT 

Aya : 6

وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٞ

And indeed, the recompense is to occur.



Sura: AL‑QAMAR 

Aya : 1

ٱقۡتَرَبَتِ ٱلسَّاعَةُ وَٱنشَقَّ ٱلۡقَمَرُ

The Hour has come near, and the moon has split [in two].[1]


1- This was a sign given by AllŒh to Prophet Muúammad () when the Quraysh challenged him to show them a miracle.


Sura: AL‑QAMAR 

Aya : 2

وَإِن يَرَوۡاْ ءَايَةٗ يُعۡرِضُواْ وَيَقُولُواْ سِحۡرٞ مُّسۡتَمِرّٞ

And if they see a sign [i.e., miracle], they turn away and say, "Passing magic."[1]


1- Or "Continuing magic."


Sura: AL‑QAMAR 

Aya : 3

وَكَذَّبُواْ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓاْ أَهۡوَآءَهُمۡۚ وَكُلُّ أَمۡرٖ مُّسۡتَقِرّٞ

And they denied and followed their inclinations. But for every matter is a [time of] settlement.



Sura: AL‑QAMAR 

Aya : 4

وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَهُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَنۢبَآءِ مَا فِيهِ مُزۡدَجَرٌ

And there has already come to them of information that in which there is deterrence.



Sura: AL‑QAMAR 

Aya : 5

حِكۡمَةُۢ بَٰلِغَةٞۖ فَمَا تُغۡنِ ٱلنُّذُرُ

Extensive wisdom but warning does not avail [them].



Sura: AL‑MULK 

Aya : 25

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

And they say, "When is this promise, if you should be truthful?"



Sura: AL‑MULK 

Aya : 26

قُلۡ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡعِلۡمُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ

Say, "The knowledge is only with AllŒh, and I am only a clear warner."



Sura: AL‑MULK 

Aya : 27

فَلَمَّا رَأَوۡهُ زُلۡفَةٗ سِيٓـَٔتۡ وُجُوهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَقِيلَ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَدَّعُونَ

But when they see it[1] approaching, the faces of those who disbelieve will be distressed, and it will be said, "This is that for which you used to call."[2]


1- The punishment of which they were warned.
2- When they challenged their prophets, saying, "Bring on the punishment, if you are truthful."
