سورة الأعراف، الآية ١٨٧Surah Al-A'raf, ayah 187 (7:187)
يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرۡسَىٰهَا قُلۡ إِنَّمَا عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّى لَا يُجَلِّيهَا لِوَقۡتِهَآ إِلَّا هُوَ ثَقُلَتۡ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ لَا تَأۡتِيكُمۡ إِلَّا بَغۡتَةً يَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ كَأَنَّكَ حَفِىٌّ عَنۡهَا قُلۡ إِنَّمَا عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ١٨٧
The meaning in English
They ask you about the Hour (Day of Resurrection): "When will be its appointed time?" Say: "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord (Alone). None can reveal its time but He. Heavy is its burden through the heavens and the earth. It shall not come upon you except all of a sudden." They ask you as if you have a good knowledge of it. Say: "The knowledge thereof is with Allâh (Alone), but most of mankind know not."

التفسير الميسر
يسألك -أيها الرسول- كفار "مكة" عن الساعة متى قيامها؟ قل لهم: عِلْمُ قيامها عند الله لا يظهرها إلا هو، ثَقُلَ علمها، وخفي على أهل السموات والأرض، فلا يعلم وقت قيامها ملَك مقرَّب ولا نبي مرسل، لا تجيء الساعة إلا فجأة، يسألك هؤلاء القوم عنها كأنك حريص على العلم بها، مستقص بالسؤال عنها، قل لهم: إنما علمها عند الله الذي يعلم غيب السموات والأرض، ولكنَّ أكثر الناس لا يعلمون أن ذلك لا يعلمه إلا الله
