Related Passage about the day of judgement from Quran:
But man, desires to continue in sin. He asks, “When is the Day of Resurrection?” So, when vision is dazzled And the moon darkens And the sun and the moon are joined, Man will say on that Day, “Where is the [place of] escape?” No! There is no refuge. To your Lord, that Day, is the [place of] permanence. Man will be informed that Day of what he sent ahead and kept back. Rather, man, against himself, will be a witness, Even if he presents his excuses. (Quran 75:5-15)
