Transliteration:( Wa maaa adraaka maa Yawmud Deen )
"And what do you know about the Day of Judgment?"
The Incomprehensible Terror of the Day of Judgment
The Human Mind Cannot Fully Grasp It – This verse emphasizes that no matter how much a person reflects on the Day of Judgment, they will never fully comprehend its true fear and terror.
A Message to the Prophet ﷺ – Some scholars interpret this as a message to the Prophet ﷺ, meaning that even the most intelligent and wise person cannot grasp the true nature of the Day of Judgment through reasoning alone. It is something that Allah has revealed to the Prophet ﷺ.
The Prophet’s Knowledge of the Unseen – The Prophet ﷺ was given divine knowledge about the Day of Judgment through revelation and the visions he witnessed on the Night of Me'raaj.
The Prophet ﷺ Sees Everything – It should be remembered that the vision of the Prophet ﷺ encompasses past, future, present, and even the unseen—his sight is not limited like ordinary humans.
