(Ayah 44){ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ مُنْتَهٰىهَا : ’’ مُنْتَهٰىهَا ‘‘} Its end, where the matter concludes, is the Lord Almighty, meaning whoever you ask about the Day of Judgment will be unaware, and if you are told to ask someone else, they too will be unaware. As you keep asking, in the end, where the matter concludes and who can inform, that is only and only Allah Almighty; all in between are unaware. (Muwaddih al-Qur'an)

44. Its knowledge is confined to your Lord [28].

[28] These disbelievers have made a strange mockery of this matter, for they often ask you the same question: when will the Day of Resurrection come? However, this matter is beyond the scope of your knowledge. No matter how much they persist in this question and trouble you regarding it, ultimately the answer will always be that only Allah has knowledge of this matter, and knowing it is not practically beneficial. For example, every person has the notion that before dying, he should accomplish such and such task, even though no one except Allah knows the time of his death. Therefore, the practical aspect of belief in the Resurrection is that a person, in this worldly life which is a place of trial, should perform such deeds that will prove beneficial for him.
