Surah 41. Ha-Mim, Ayah 47
| ۞ إِلَيْهِ يُرَدُّ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ ۚ وَمَا تَخْرُجُ مِنْ ثَمَرَاتٍ مِنْ أَكْمَامِهَا وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ أُنْثَىٰ وَلَا تَضَعُ إِلَّا بِعِلْمِهِ ۚ وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيهِمْ أَيْنَ شُرَكَائِي قَالُوا آذَنَّاكَ مَا مِنَّا مِنْ شَهِيدٍ |

| Pickthall | : | Unto Him is referred (all) knowledge of the Hour. And no fruits burst forth from their sheaths, and no female carrieth or bringeth forth but with His knowledge. And on the day when He calleth unto them: Where are now My partners? they will say: We confess unto Thee, not one of us is a witness (for them). |
| Asad | : | In Him alone is vested the knowledge of when the Last Hour will come. And no fruit bursts forth from its calyx, and no female ever conceives, nor ever gives birth, save with His knowledge. And so, on the Day when He shall call out to them, "Where, now, are those [alleged] partners of Mine?" - they will [surely] answer, "We confess unto Thee that none of us can bear witness [to anyone's having a share in Thy divinity]!" |
| Malik | : | He Alone has the knowledge of the Hour of Doom. No fruit comes out of its sheath, nor does a female conceive, nor she gives birth but with His knowledge. On the Day of Judgement when Allah will ask the unbelievers: "Where are those partners that you associated with Me?" They will answer: "We confess that none of us can vouch for them." |
| Yusuf Ali | : | To Him is referred the Knowledge of the Hour (of Judgment: He knows all): no date-fruit comes out of its sheath nor does a female conceive (within her womb) nor bring forth (young) but by His Knowledge. The Day that (Allah) will propound to them the (question) "Where are the partners (ye attributed) to Me?" They will say "We do assure thee not one of us can bear witness!" 4519 4520 |
Note - 4519There are profound mysteries which the knowledge of man
cannot fathom but which are all open knowledge to Allah,
because He plans, guides and controls all things. The
precise time of the Hour of Judgment is one of these. We
are not to dispute about matters like these, which are
matters of speculation as far as human intelligence is
concerned. Such speculations ruined the Ummat of Moses,
and set them on the arid path of doubts and
controversies. Our task is to do our duty and love Allah
and man (see the last two verses). Cf. also xxi. 4.

Note - 4520When the final restoration of true values comes, all
falsehood will be exposed openly and publicly. The false
gods will vanish, and their falsehood will be
acknowledged by those who had lapsed from true worship.
But it will be too late then for repentance.
