Maulana’s commentary · Tazkirul Quran

‘On which day will Doomsday occur?’ Questions of this sort are produced by non-serious minds. Only the sincere will believe in the Day of Judgement, without wanting to know the exact date of its occurrence. As this world is a place of testing, Doomsday will be indicated here in terms of caution and warning alone.
