The Hour Coming Suddenly
هَلۡ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ أَن تَأۡتِيَهُم بَغۡتَةࣰ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ٦٦
Await they aught save the Hour, that it shall come upon them suddenly, when they know not.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Are they waiting except for the Hour to come upon them suddenly while they perceive not?
Insight
According to Elmalılı, all those wrongdoers look only to the coming of that hour of punishment; but it will come suddenly, when they are unaware.
Reflect
Prepare today for the Hour that will come suddenly.
