Muhammad 18

فَهَلْ يَنْظُرُونَ اِلَّا السَّاعَةَ اَنْ تَاْتِيَهُمْ بَغْتَةًۚ فَقَدْ جَٓاءَ اَشْرَاطُهَاۚ فَاَنّٰى لَهُمْ اِذَا جَٓاءَتْهُمْ ذِكْرٰيهُمْ ۝١٨

18What, then, are they waiting for, but that the Hour, the end of this world, should come upon them suddenly? Yet they keep seeing all its signs before them. But when that inescapable final Hour comes upon them, what use will it be to them to have understood the truth?
