The Holy Quran 22:47 — Surah Al-Hajj

Arabic text

وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِٱلْعَذَابِ وَلَن يُخْلِفَ ٱللَّهُ وَعْدَهُۥ ۚ وَإِنَّ يَوْمًا عِندَ رَبِّكَ كَأَلْفِ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ

Translation

They want to hurry you with (demand from you) the punishment (by continually asking you when it will arrive) whereas Allaah will never break (postpone) His promise (He will send His punishment exactly at the time when He has promised it). Verily a single day with your Rabb (in the Aakhirah) is like a thousand years according to your count (in this world).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

That is, the punishment will certainly come at its appointed time. Hastening it by way of mockery and denial is futile. A Day of the Hereafter Equals a Thousand Years: that is, a thousand of your years are with Him like a single day.
