Tafseer Ibn Kathir

Explaining the Day of Decision and what occurs during it

Allah says

إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَاتًا




Verily, the Day of Decision is a fixed time,

Allah says about the Day of Decision -- and it is the Day of Judgement -- that it is at a fixed time, with a set appointment. Its time cannot be added to or decreased. No one knows its exact time except Allah. This is as Allah says,

وَمَا نُوَخِّرُهُ إِلاَّ لاًّجَلٍ مَّعْدُودٍ

And We delay it only for a term fixed. (11;104)

And He informs,

يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا
