Quran 20:15 — Taa-Haa, verse 15
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
The Hour is coming––though I choose to keep it hidden––for each soul to be rewarded for its labour.
إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخْفِيهَا لِتُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا تَسْعَىٰ
inna l-sāʿata ātiyatun akādu ukh'fīhā lituj'zā kullu nafsin bimā tasʿā
