In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the
Merciful
Doomsday
Extract from Chapter 46 of QUR’AANIC
STUDIES – A Modern Tafsir:
35. Faisbir kama sabara oloo alAAazmi mina alrrusuli
wala tastaAAjil lahum
kaannahum yawma yarawna ma yooAAadoona
lam yalbathoo illa saAAatan
min naharin balaghun fahal yuhlaku illa alqawmu alfasiqoona
35. Then have patience (O
Muhammad) just as those endowed with determination among the Messengers (of
old) had patience! And be not in haste concerning them. The Day they see what
they are promised (it will so appear to them) as though they had stayed but an
hour of daytime.7 A culmination! Shall any be destroyed [then] save the
profligates?
7. The Day of Judgment may in fact occur
thousands of years after a man dies. But when that Day does occur, it will
appear to him as if it had occurred an hour after his death! So the Prophet is
being advised, in this Verse, that he should not worry about the doomsday being
unduly delayed for a wicked person. The doomsday will come to him virtually as
soon as he dies. That will be the culmination of his life on earth.
