Transliteration:( Innas Saa'ata aatiyatun akaadu ukhfeehaa litujzaa kullu nafsin bimaa tas'aa )
16. He did not conceal it, but instead He made its coming and its signs known to everyone through the medium of the Prophets so that people can prepare for that Day.Â
The day and the month of Qiyamah had been made known to the Holy Prophet الله عليه وآله وسلم .Therefore, he had said that Qiyamah would take place on a Friday. According to one tradition it will take place on Friday the 10th Muharram, the Day of Ashurah. He did not reveal the year so as not to divulge this secret, but said: "I and the Day of Judgement are as close as my two joined fingers". Just as one neighbour is fully aware of his neighbour, I too am fully aware of when Qiyamah would be taking place.

The tafsir of Surah Ta-Ha verse 15 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Taha ayat 11 which provides the complete commentary from verse 11 through 16.
(20:15) The Hour of Resurrection is coming. I have willed to keep the time of its coming hidden so that everyone may be recompensed in accordance with his effort.[10]
10. After Tauhid, the second thing that was revealed to all the Prophets was the reality of the Hereafter, and they were appointed to impart its knowledge to their peoples. Here its object has also been stated. The Hour of Resurrection is destined to come so that everyone should get the recompense in the Hereafter of what he did in this world, and that Hour has been kept secret to fulfill the requirement of the trial. For the one who believes in the Hereafter will always be on his guard against any deviation from the right way, and the one who does not believe in the coming of that Hour will remain engaged in other things, for he will think that he did not see any sign of the coming of the Hour.
[833]- Meaning that Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) keeps knowledge of the Hour hidden from everyone except Himself.
