7:187

يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرۡسَٮٰهَا‌ۖ قُلۡ إِنَّمَا عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّى‌ۖ لَا يُجَلِّيہَا لِوَقۡتِہَآ إِلَّا هُوَ‌ۚ ثَقُلَتۡ فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۚ لَا تَأۡتِيكُمۡ إِلَّا بَغۡتَةً۬‌ۗ يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِىٌّ عَنۡہَا‌ۖ قُلۡ إِنَّمَا عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ ٱللهِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَڪۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ١٨٧

They ask you about the end of the world (the Hour), and when it will come to pass. Say, "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord. Only He reveals its time. Heavy it is, in the Heavens and the Earth. It will not come to you except suddenly." They ask you as if you are in control thereof. Say, "The knowledge thereof is with ALLAH," but most people do not know.

Proofs and revelations

The “Hour” comes “suddenly” only to the disbelievers.

  5. “I HAVE DELIVERED GOD’S MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE” Page 36

    A profound verse links with 7:187 to reveal the heaviness of the punishment. We all can feel sad for the disbelievers at this time, but when the prophecy comes to pass, there would be no point to feel sorry for them. They do not take GOD’S words seriously, and remain committed to this worldly life and its vanities. I ask all of you to hear, see, observe and reflect on the new link!
