And to Allah belongs the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. And the command for the Hour is not but as a glance of the eye or even nearer. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.
Tafsir
Verse range: 16:77
The Unseen belongs to Allah and only He has Knowledge of the Hour Allah says:
ولله غيب السماوات واﻻرض
And to Allah belongs the Unseen of the heavens and the earth. Allah tells us of the perfection of His knowledge and ability to do all things, by telling us that He alone knows the Unseen of the heavens and the earth. No one knows anything about such things except for what Allah informs about as He wills. His complete power, which no one can oppose or resist, means that when He wants a thing, He only has to say to it "Be!'' and it is, as Allah says:
وما أمرنا إﻻ وحدة كلمح بالبصر
And Our commandment is but one as the twinkling of an eye. (54:50) meaning, whatever He wills happens in blinking. Thus Allah says here:
وما أمر الساعة إﻻ كلمح البصر أو هو أقرب إن الله على كل شيء قدير
And the matter of the Hour is not but as a twinkling of the eye, or even nearer. Truly, Allah is Able to do all things. Elsewhere, Allah says:
ما خلقكم وﻻ بعثكم إﻻ كنفس وحدة
The processes of creating you all and resurrecting you all are but like that of (the creation and resurrection of) a single person. (31:28) Among the Favors Allah has granted People are Hearing, Sight and the Heart Allah says:
والله أخرجكم من بطون أمهاتكم ﻻ تعلمون شييا وجعل لكم السمع واﻻبصار واﻻفيدة لعلكم تشكرون
