Surah Al-Mulk
Paper-cut picture from Surah Al-Mulk: a large hourglass on a stone ledge at dusk, the sand half run through, a lighthouse shining far away over a calm sea
Al-Mulk 67:25–27

When is this promise?

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ ٢٥ قُلْ إِنَّمَا ٱلْعِلْمُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَإِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ٢٦ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ زُلْفَةًۭ سِيٓـَٔتْ وُجُوهُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَقِيلَ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَدَّعُونَ ٢٧

The meaning, simply

The disbelievers say: when will the Day of Resurrection come, if you are truthful? Say: its knowledge is with Allah alone, and I am only a clear warner. When they see the punishment near, sadness shows on their faces.
