In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
It is related in a narration, "(So near is it at hand) that it has almost preceded me." This indicates its proximity in relation to the time that has gone by in this world. Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) says:
"Draws near for mankind their reckoning, while they turn away in heedlessness." [Qur'an 21:1]
"The Event (the Hour or the punishment of disbelievers and polytheists or the Islamic laws or commandments), ordained by Allah will come to pass, so seek not to hasten it. Glorified and Exalted is He above all that they associate as partners with Him."[Qur'an 16:1]
"Those who believe not therein seek to hasten it, while those who believe are fearful of it, and know that it is the very truth. Verily, those who dispute concerning the Hour are certainly in error far away." [Qur'an 42:18]
[Taken from the book of the End by Ibn Kathir]
