25قُل إِن أَدري أَقَريبٌ ما توعَدونَ أَم يَجعَلُ لَهُ رَبّي أَمَدًاAli UnalSay: “I do not know whether (your coming face to face with) what you are promised is near, or whether my Lord sets for it a distant term.”1Like verse 71: 25, this verse establishes the punishment or reward in the intermediate world (of the grave); here it is done decisively. What is promised for the obstinate enemies of God is Hellfire, as stated in verse 23 above. The exact time of Judgment Day is known exclusively to God and never changes. But this verse particularly refers it to God’s Will, which emphasizes the fact that the unbelievers will encounter the punishment promised to them when they die.
