سُوْرَةُ الشُّوْرٰي
Surah Ash-Shura (42) — Ayah 18
يَسْتَعْجِلُ بِهَا ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهَا ۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مُشْفِقُونَ مِنْهَا وَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهَا ٱلْحَقُّ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يُمَارُونَ فِى ٱلسَّاعَةِ لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍۭ بَعِيدٍ ﴿18﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Those who believe not therein seek to hasten it, while those who believe are fearful of it, and know that it is the very truth. Verily, those who dispute concerning the Hour are certainly in error far away.

18. 1. That is, as a mockery, thinking that how could it possibly come? That is why they say that the Hour should come soon.
18. 2. Because they do not reflect on those evidences which could lead them to faith, even though these evidences come before their eyes day and night. They pass before their sight and could enter their understanding and intellect. That is why they have gone very far from the truth.
