The Hour is coming. (Surah Ta Ha: 15)
They will ask you about the Hour: When is it due? Say:
"Knowledge of it rests with my Lord alone. He alone
will reveal it at its proper time. It hangs heavy in the
heavens and Earth. It will not come upon you except
suddenly." They will ask you, as if you had full knowl-
edge of it. Say: "Knowledge of it rests with Allah alone.
But most people do not know that." (Surat Al-A'raf: 187)

On the Day the sky is like molten brass and the moun-
tains like tufts of colored wool. No good friend will ask
about his friend. (Surat Al-Ma'arij: 8-10)
When heaven is split apart and goes red like dregs of oil.
(Surat Ar-Rahman: 37)

The Gospel

But in those days, following that distress, the Sun will be dark-
ened and the Moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from
the sky…. (Mark, 13: 24-25)
No one knows about that day or hour... Be on guard! Be alert!
You do not know when that time will come. (Mark, 13: 32-33)
Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation,
drunkenness, and the anxieties of life, and that Day will close on
