A--- Wakati uliowekwa kwa Saa ya Mwisho ni miongoni mwa mambo ya ghaibu ambayo hakuna yeyote isipokuwa Allah Mtukufu anayeyajua. Yeye anasema: {Hakika Allah ndiye aliye na ujuzi wa Saa, na Yeye ndiye anayeteremsha mvua, na anayejua yaliyomo katika matumbo ya uzazi. Hakuna nafsi inayojua itachuma nini kesho, wala nafsi haijui itakufa katika ardhi gani.}

A--- The time set for-the Last Hour is one of the unseen affairs that no one save Allah the Almighty knows. He says: {Verily Allah, with Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die.

Hakika Allah ndiye Mjuzi wa yote, Mwenye kujua kila kitu}. (Luqman, 34)

Verily Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware (of things)}. (Luqman, 34)

Allah Mtukufu asema: {Wanakuuliza kuhusu Saa (Siku ya Kiyama): "Itakuja lini wakati wake uliowekwa?" Sema: "Elimu yake iko kwa Mola wangu Mlezi peke yake. Hakuna awezaye kuidhihirisha wakati wake isipokuwa Yeye. Ni nzito mno (kwa mbingu na ardhi). Haitakuja kwenu isipokuwa ghafla." Wanakuuliza kana kwamba wewe unaijua vyema. Sema: "Elimu yake iko kwa Allah peke yake, lakini watu wengi hawajui."} (22) (Al-A'raf, 187)

Allah the Almighty says: {They ask you about the Hour (Day of Resurrection): "When will be its appointed time?" Say: "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord (Alone). None can reveal its time but He. Heavy is its burden through the heavens and the earth. It shall not come upon you except all of a sudden.” They ask you as if you have a good knowledge of it. Say: "The knowledge thereof is with Allah (Alone), but most of mankind know not. "} (22) (Al-A' raf, 187)

Allah Mtukufu anasema: {Wanakuuliza (ewe Muhammad (amani iwe juu yake)) kuhusu Saa, itasimama lini? Wewe huna elimu ya kusema lolote kuhusu hilo. Kwa Mola wako ni (ujuzi wa) muda wake wa kufika?}. (An-Naazi'at, 42-44)

Allah the Almighty says: {They ask you (0 Muhammad (Peace be upon him» about the Hour when will be its appointed time? You have no knowledge to say anything about it. To your Lord belongs (the knowledge of) the term thereof?}. (An-Nazi' at, 42-44)

Nabii Muhammad (Amani iwe juu yake) alisema kwa Jibril alipoulizwa kuhusu Saa: "Kisha yeye (Jibril) akauliza zaidi, 'Saa itasimamishwa lini?' Mjumbe wa Allah ﷺ akajibu, 'Anayejibu hana elimu bora zaidi kuliko anayeuliza. Lakini nitakueleza alama zake.

Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said to Gabriel when asked about the Hour: "Then he (Gabriel) further asked, "When will the Hour be established?" Allah's Messenger replied, "The answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner. But I will inform you about its portents.

(a) Wakati mjakazi (mtumwa wa kike) anapomzaa bwana wake. (b) Wakati wachungaji wa ngamia weusi wanapoanza kujivuna na kushindana na wengine katika ujenzi wa majengo marefu zaidi. Na Kiyama ni miongoni mwa mambo matano ambayo hakuna yeyote anayeyajua isipokuwa Allah." (Bukhari na Muslim)

(a) When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master. (b) When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the construction of higher buildings. And the Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah." (Bukhari and Muslim)

(22) Imepokewa kutoka kwa Ibn Umar (Allah awe radhi nao): Mtume ﷺ alisema:

(22) Narrated Ibn`Vmar (May Allah be pleased with them): The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said:

"Funguo za ghaibu ni tano, na hakuna anayezijua isipokuwa Allah: (1) Hakuna ajuaye kilicho tumboni, isipokuwa Allah; (2) Hakuna ajuaye kitakachotokea kesho, isipokuwa Allah; (3) Hakuna ajuaye lini mvua itanyesha, isipokuwa Allah; (4) Hakuna ajuaye atakufa wapi, isipokuwa Allah (anajua hilo); (5) na hakuna ajuaye lini Saa itasimama, isipokuwa Allah." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Juzuu ya 9, Hadith Na. 479)

"The keys of the unseen are five and none knows them but Allah: (1) None knows what is in the womb, but Allah: (2) None knows what will happen tomorrow, but Allah; (3) None knows when it will rain, but Allah; (4) None knows where he will die, but Allah (knows that); (5) and none knows when the Hour will be established, but Allah." (Sahih A1-Bukhari, Vol. 9, Hadith No. 479)
