They say, “When will this promise be fulfilled, if you are truthful?” Say, “You have an appointment of a day, which you will be unable to postpone for a moment, nor bring forward.” (Surah Saba: 29-30)
Those who reject the advent of Judgment day (Qiyamah) ask, “When will this promise [of Judgment day (Qiyamah)] be fulfilled, if you are truthful?” These people intend to say that, since Judgment day (Qiyamah) has not yet occurred, a date has to be set for it, and, if no one is aware of the date, it means that it will never occur. Such reasoning is both foolish and childish.Allah replies to them saying, “Say, ‘You have an appointment of a day, which you will be unable to postpone for a moment, nor bring forward.” The fact that Judgment day (Qiyamah) has not yet arrived does not mean that it will not take place.
