Ayah: 187

يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرۡسَىٰهَاۖ قُلۡ إِنَّمَا عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّيۖ لَا يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقۡتِهَآ إِلَّا هُوَۚ ثَقُلَتۡ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ لَا تَأۡتِيكُمۡ إِلَّا بَغۡتَةٗۗ يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِيٌّ عَنۡهَاۖ قُلۡ إِنَّمَا عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

187. They (the pagans) ask you about the Hour 'of Doom', when will be its taking place? Say, (Muhammad): "The knowledge of it is only with 'Allāh' my Lord. None but Him shall manifest it at its time. Heavy it is in the heavens and on earth. It will not come on you except all of a sudden." They ask you as if you have good knowledge about it. Say: "Its knowledge is only with Allāh, but most people do not know."
