Sura 47
Aya 18
18
فَهَل يَنظُرونَ إِلَّا السّاعَةَ أَن تَأتِيَهُم بَغتَةً ۖ فَقَد جاءَ أَشراطُها ۚ فَأَنّىٰ لَهُم إِذا جاءَتهُم ذِكراهُم

Ali Unal

Do they (who persist in unbelief and evil deeds) wait but for the Last Hour – (waiting) that it come upon them all of a sudden? Now, indeed, its portents have already come.1 But how can it benefit them to take admonition when the Last Hour has (already) come upon them?
  • Only God knows the exact time of the Last Hour, but it has many portents which show that its coming is certain. The advent of God’s Messenger as the Last and universal Messenger or the Seal of the Prophets, upon him be peace and blessings, was the first and greatest portent of its coming.
