ٱلْجَاثِيَة : ٣٢

  • وَإِذَا And when
  • قِيلَ it was said
  • إِنَّ indeed
  • وَعۡدَ (the) Promise
  • ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah
  • حَقّٞ (is) true
  • وَٱلسَّاعَةُ and the Hour
  • لَا (there is) no
  • رَيۡبَ doubt
  • فِيهَا about it
  • قُلۡتُم you said
  • مَّا Not
  • نَدۡرِي we know
  • مَا what
  • ٱلسَّاعَةُ the Hour (is)
  • إِن Not
  • نَّظُنُّ we think
  • إِلَّا except
  • ظَنّٗا an assumption
  • وَمَا and not
  • نَحۡنُ we
  • بِمُسۡتَيۡقِنِينَ (are) convinced
And when it was said, 'Indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth and the Hour [is coming] - no doubt about it,' you said, 'We know not what is the Hour. We assume only assumption, and we are not convinced.'"
And when it was said, to you, O disbelievers: "God's promise, of resurrection, is indeed true, and there is no doubt about the Hour", (read al-saa'atu or al-saa'ata) you said, "We do not know what the Hour is. We only make conjectures (al-Mubarrad said that this actually [means] in nahnu illaa nazunnu zannan) and we are by no means certain" ', that it will come to pass.
