Sura 40
Aya 59
59
إِنَّ السّاعَةَ لَآتِيَةٌ لا رَيبَ فيها وَلٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَ النّاسِ لا يُؤمِنونَ

Ali Unal

The Last Hour is certainly bound to come; there is no doubt in it. Yet, most of humankind do not believe.{{The last two verses imply that good and evil can be distinguished perfectly only in the Hereafter. So, without the Hereafter, neither good nor evil receive the just and full recompense due to them. This is contrary to morality. That is why belief in the Hereafter is one of the most basic foundations of morality and a sound social life. But only those who believe and, therefore, can see, or those who have not blinded themselves to the truth, can perceive this.
