The Holy Quran 43:66 — Surah Az-Zukhruf

Arabic text

هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ أَن تَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Translation

(Before accepting Imaan,) They (the Kuffaar) are waiting only (looking) for Qiyaamah to come to them suddenly without them realising (However, it will then be too late.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Are they waiting for the Hour?: those who, despite such clear statements and plain guidance, still do not accept — what in the end are they waiting for? Looking at their condition, one can only say: [they are waiting for] the Hour to suddenly stand over their heads — then they will believe. Yet believing at that time will be of no use at all.
