Surah 47. Muhammad, Ayah 18
فَهَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ أَن تَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً ۖ فَقَدْ جَآءَ أَشْرَاطُهَا ۚ فَأَنَّىٰ لَهُمْ إِذَا جَآءَتْهُمْ ذِكْرَىٰهُمْ
Fahal yan th uroona ill a a l ss a AAata an tatiyahum baghtatan faqad j a a ashr at uh a faann a lahum i tha j a athum th ikr a hum Are, then, they [whose hearts are sealed] waiting for the Last Hour - [waiting] that it come upon them of a sudden? But it has already been foretold!22 And what will their remembrance [of their past sins] avail them, once it has come upon them?23
- Mohammad Asad
Are they waiting for the Hour of Doom to overtake them all of a sudden? Do they not know that its signs have already come and when it will actually overtake them, what chance will they have to benefit then by this admonition?
- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Are they only waiting for the Hour to take them by surprise? Yet 'some of' its signs have already come.1 Once it actually befalls them, will it not be too late to be mindful?
- Mustafa Khattab
Await they aught save the Hour, that it should come upon them unawares? And the beginnings thereof have already come. But how, when it hath come upon them, can they take their warning?
- Marmaduke Pickthall
Do they then only wait for the Hour that it should come on them of a sudden? But already have come some tokens thereof and when it (actually) is on them how can they benefit then by their admonition? 4839 4840
