BOOKLET 4 - NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES OF CHRIST IN THE QUR'AN

21) Knowledge Of The Hour (علم الساعة)

The humble know that the Day of Resurrection, the Day of Judgment, is imminent. Yet, superficial people live indifferently. Qur'anic commentators say that the second coming of Christ ushers in that decisive hour (Sura al-Zukhruf 43:61). He will destroy the Antichrist with a word of his mouth and he will separate merciful individuals from hard-hearted ones (Matthew 25:31-46). None of the prophets will come back to the living to declare the end of the world, except the meek Son of Mary who taught us the principles of everlasting life: Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. (Matthew 5:5, 7, 8)
