The Holy Quran 16:77 — Surah An-Nahl

Arabic text

وَلِلَّهِ غَيْبُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَمَآ أَمْرُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ إِلَّا كَلَمْحِ ٱلْبَصَرِ أَوْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Translation

To Allaah belongs the unseen affairs of the heavens and the earth (Only He has knowledge of everything unseen). The affair of Qiyaamah (together with resurrecting all of creation is regarded as an awesome event, yet it is so easy for Allaah that it) is just like the blink of an eye or even quicker (because all Allaah does to bring something to being is to say, "Be!". In fact, Allaah does not even have to say this). (This is nothing strange because) Verily Allaah has power over all things.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Allah knows all secrets: that is, the whole of creation was not made alike: the condition of one person differs boundlessly from that of another, and not all things have been set on one level plane. The secret of this, and the knowledge of each one's hidden capacity and concealed state, rests with Allah alone.
