to the Messenger of Allah or ever to marry his wives after him. To do
that would be a dreadful thing in Allah's sight. (Surat al-Ahzab, 53)
The Morning of Those Who Were Warned
When it descends in their courtyard – how evil will be the morning
of those who were warned! (Surat as-Saffat, 177)
Satan's Asking for a Reprieve Until The Day of Rising
My curse is upon you until the Day of Reckoning.' He said, 'My
Lord, grant me a reprieve until the Day they are raised again.' He said,
'You are among the reprieved until the Day whose time is known.'
(Surah Sad, 78-81)
The Coming Hour of Rising
The Hour is coming – there is no doubt about it. But most of
mankind do not believe. Your Lord says, 'Call on Me and I will answer
you. Those who who are too proud to worship Me will enter Hell ab-
ject.' Allah is He Who appointed the night for you so that you might
rest in it, and the day for seeing. Allah pours out His favour on
mankind but most people do not show thanks. (Surah Ghafir, 59-61)
And the Hour is coming without any doubt and Allah will raise up
all those in the graves. (Surat al-Hajj, 7)
The Hour of Rising
Those who disbelieve say, 'The Hour will never come.' Say: 'Yes, by
my Lord, it certainly will come!' He is the Knower of the Unseen,
Whom not even the weight of the smallest particle eludes, either in the
heavens or in the earth; nor is there anything smaller or larger than
that which is not in a Clear Book. (Surah Saba, 3)
But those who disbelieve will not cease to be in doubt of it until the
Hour comes on them suddenly or the punishment of a desolate Day
arrives. (Surat al-Hajj, 55)
On the Day the Hour arrives the evildoers will be in despair. (Surat
ar-Rum, 12)
On the Day the Hour arrives, that Day they will be split up. (Surat
ar-Rum, 14)
On the Day the Last Hour arrives, the evildoers will swear they have
not even tarried for an hour. That is the extent to which they are de-
ceived. (Surat ar-Rum, 55)
