إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡوَقۡتِ ٱلۡمَعۡلُومِ ٣٨
Till the Day of appointed time.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Until the Day of the time well-known.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is not the day of resurrection but the day of the term known to Allah, the first blowing of the Horn.
Reflect
Know that Satan too has a limited term.
