Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(33:63) People ask you concerning the Hour (of Resurrection). *116 Say: 'Allah alone has knowledge of it. What do you know? Perhaps the Hour is nigh.'
Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*116) The Holy Prophet was generally asked this question by the disbelievers and the hypocrites. By this they did not mean to obtain any knowledge but they did so out of fun and jest. As a matter of fact, they did not believe in the coming of the Hereafter at aII; they regarded its concept as an empty threat only. They did not ask about the time of its coming so that they could set their affairs right, but what they really meant was : "O Muhammad, we have been doing everything to frustrate your mission, and you have not been able to do any harm to us so far; now Iet us know as to when will Resurrection take place when we will be taken to task by Allah."
