They ask thee of the (destined) Hour, when will it come to
pass? Say: Knowledge thereof is with my Lord only. He Alone will manifest it
at its proper time. It is heavy in the heavens and the earth. It cometh not
to you save unawares. They question thee as if thou couldst be well informed
thereof. Say: Knowledge thereof is with Allah only, but most of mankind know
not.

Lesson
‘As-Saa-‘atu – (a very little part of the time, which is called “a Moment”).
Here; it aims “the Time of general Resurrection”, when accounts of every human
being will be taken.
Mur-saa – (destined, settlement, to be set up, taking place), this
word has been derived from ‘arsaaa’,
which means “to settle, to fix on”. And this word has been taken from raswun, which means “to stop, to stay,
to remain and to last”. Mursaa and ‘arsaaa’ have the same meanings. Here;
it aims “coming of the destined Hour to pass, the Time and the Day of
Resurrection”.
Ha-fiyyun – (to be well informed, going to Endeavor), origin of this
word is hafyun, which means “to turn
the attention (to)”. Here it aims “one is going to seek about”.
The people
were desirous to know about the destined Hour (the Time of Resurrection) that;
when will it come to pass? It has been described about it already in the
earlier Scriptures. Holy Qur’an
caused to draw more attention upon it. The last Messenger of Allah Almighty
(grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) caused to hear by reciting the
Holy Qur’an to the people. The people
considered that He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) has
reflected thoughtfully in this matter. Therefore, they asked from Him (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him): Tell us! When the destined Hour will
come to pass? They have been replied in this verse.
It is commanded
that; coming of the Destined Hour (General Resurrection) to pass has been kept hidden. Nobody knows about it save Allah Almighty. It
is sufficient to say for correction of the people that it is sure that the Time
and the Day of Resurrection shall come to pass. Moreover, there is a policy in keeping
the destined Hour secret, which is; the people should remain frightened from It
every time. When that Hour will come; Allah Almighty will show It to the entire
people openly. It will be the heaviest accident among the heavens and the
earth. No creature is able to bear Its knowledge. If the Time of Its happening is
known by any creature, it will become difficult for them to perform their
works. Whenever that Time will come, it will come suddenly and in the condition
of unawares. The Messengers (peace be upon Them) do not try to know such
matters, which are not described to Them by Allah Almighty Himself. Complete
knowledge about it is with God Almighty only. Maximum people do not know that:
What is the advisability in keeping that Hour secret?
