Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Warning of the Day of Resurrection and Allah's judgement on that Day`The Day that is drawing near' is one of the names of the Day of Judgement. It is so called because it is close, as Allah says:أَزِفَتِ الاٌّزِفَةُ - لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ (The Day of Resurrection draws near.
