سُوْرَةُ فُصِّلَتۡ
Surah Fussilat (41) — Ayah 47
۞ إِلَيْهِ يُرَدُّ عِلْمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ ۚ وَمَا تَخْرُجُ مِن ثَمَرَٰتٍ مِّنْ أَكْمَامِهَا وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ أُنثَىٰ وَلَا تَضَعُ إِلَّا بِعِلْمِهِۦ ۚ وَيَوْمَ يُنَادِيهِمْ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآءِى قَالُوٓا۟ ءَاذَنَّـٰكَ مَا مِنَّا مِن شَهِيدٍ ﴿47﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
To Him (Alone) is referred the knowledge of the Hour. No fruit comes out of its sheath, nor does a female conceive nor brings forth (young), except by His Knowledge. And on the Day when He will call unto them (polytheists) (saying): "Where are My (so-called) partners (whom you did invent)?" They will say: "We inform You that none of us bears witness to it (that they are Your partners)!"

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
47. 1 That is, except for Allah, no one has knowledge of its occurrence. Therefore, when Jibril (علیہ السلام) asked the Noble Prophet ﷺ about the occurrence of the Day of Judgment, he ﷺ replied, "Regarding this, I have as much knowledge as you do; I do not know more than you." In other places, Allah Almighty has said (اِلٰى رَبِّكَ مُنْتَهٰهَا) 79. An-Nazi'at:44)
47. 2 This is a statement of the comprehensiveness of Allah's knowledge, and in His attribute of knowledge, no one is His partner; that is, no one possesses such perfect knowledge, not even the Prophets (علیہم السلام). They too have only as much knowledge as Allah Almighty informs them through revelation.
47. 3 That is, today none of us is willing to accept that You have any partner.
