Quran 72:25 – Is It Possible To Tell Whether Qiyamah Is Near According To Quran?
What are the reasons to say that 72:25 is about divine punishment under itmam-e-hujjat and not Qayamah? In fact, Allah SWT says: People ask you concerning the Hour, say: “The knowledge of it is with Allah only. What do you know? It may be that the Hour is near!” (Al-Ahzab 33:63) So the question may well have been about Qayamah. People did ask him such questions. Moreover, in this ayat, Rasoolullah says that Qayamah may be near. That seems to say that Qayamah will materialize without any prior signs.
