يَسْأَلُكَ
النَّاسُ
عَنِ
السَّاعَةِ
قُلْ
إِنَّمَا
عِلْمُهَا
عِندَ
اللَّهِ
وَمَا
يُدْرِيكَ
لَعَلَّ
السَّاعَةَ
تَكُونُ
قَرِيبًا
yasʾaluka n-nāsu ʿani s-sāʿati qul ʾinnamā ʿilmuhā ʿinda llāhi wa-mā yudrīka laʿalla s-sāʿata takūnu qarīban
Men ask thee concerning the Hour: Say, "The knowledge thereof is with Allah (alone)": and what will make thee understand?- perchance the Hour is nigh!
— Abdullah Yusufali
The people question you concerning the Hour. Say, ‘Its knowledge is only with Allah.’ What do you know, maybe the Hour is near.
