The Holy Quran 42:17 — Surah Ash-Shuraa

Arabic text

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَٱلْمِيزَانَ ۗ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَرِيبٌ

Translation

It is Allaah Who revealed the Book (the Qur'aan) with the truth, as well as the scale (of justice, which is included in the teachings of the Qur'aan and the words of Rasulullaah ﷺ). How could you know (Do you not know) that Qiyaamah is probably very close? (You should therefore believe in and practise the teachings of the Qur'aan in preparation for Qiyaamah.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

الله الذي أنزل القرآن وسائر الكتب المنزلة بالصدق، وأنزل الميزان وهو العدل؛ ليحكم بين الناس بالإنصاف. وأي شيء يدريك ويُعْلمك لعل الساعة التي تقوم فيها القيامة قريب؟
