idea what the Hour is. We have only been conjecturing. We
are by no means certain.” (Surat al-Jathiya: 32)
Some people entirely deny that the Last Day is coming. Those

who have this opinion are mentioned in the Qur’an as follows:
But instead, they deny the Hour; and We have prepared a

Searing Blaze for those who deny the Hour. (Surat al-
Furqan: 11)

The sources that can guide us on the way and show us the
truth are the Qur’an and the hadiths. When we look at these
sources, we learn an obvious fact. Those who deceive themselves

about the Last Day commit a grave error, because Allah reveals in
the Qur’an that there can be no doubt that the Last Day is near.
And the Hour is coming without any doubt ... (Surat al-

Hajj: 7)
We did not create the heavens and earth and everything be-

tween them, except with truth. The Hour is certainly com-
ing. (Surat al-Hijr: 85)

The Hour is coming—there is no doubt about it …(Surat al-
Mu’min: 59)

There may be some who think that the message of the Qur’an
concerning the Last Day was revealed more that 1400 years ago and
that this is a long time compared to the length of a human life. But

here, it is a question of the end of the world, the sun and the stars,
in short, of everything. When we consider that the universe is bil-
lions of years old, fourteen centuries is a very short period of time.

Bediuzzaman Said Nursi has referred to this matter with an
erudite comparison:
