Quran 22:47~48 (Ayah Al-Hajj)
They challenge you ˹O Prophet˺ to hasten the torment. And Allah will never fail in His promise. But a day with your Lord is indeed like a thousand years by your counting. Many are the societies whose end We delayed while they did wrong, then seized them. And to Me is the final return. Quran 22:47~48 Surah Al-Hajj (the Pilgrimage)
Named after the obligation of the pilgrimage to Makkah – The Hajj.
The word ‘Hajj’ is only mentioned once in this Surah, وَأَذِّن فِي النَّاسِ بِالْحَجِّ يَأْتُوكَ رِجَالًا وَعَلَىٰ كُلِّ ضَامِرٍ يَأْتِينَ مِن كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ “And proclaim to the people the Hajj [pilgrimage]; they will come to you on foot and on every lean camel; they will come from every distant pass -” [22:27]

سُوۡرَةُ الحَجّ وَيَسۡتَعۡجِلُوۡنَكَ بِالۡعَذَابِ وَلَنۡ يُّخۡلِفَ اللّٰهُ وَعۡدَهٗ‌ ؕ وَاِنَّ يَوۡمًا عِنۡدَ رَبِّكَ كَاَ لۡفِ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّوۡنَ‏ ﴿۴۷﴾ وَكَاَيِّنۡ مِّنۡ قَرۡيَةٍ اَمۡلَيۡتُ لَهَا وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ ثُمَّ اَخَذۡتُهَا‌ۚ وَاِلَىَّ الۡمَصِيۡرُ‏ ﴿۴۸﴾
The Surah reminds about the approaching end of the world, need for the firmness of faith to support the truth and to eradicate the evil.
It talks about prayers, humbleness and sacrifice, respect of the Ka’bah, the House of Allah, and striving to defend the truth.
سورة الحَجّ یہ لوگ عذاب کے لیے جلدی مچا رہے ہیں اللہ ہرگز اپنے وعدے کے خلاف نہ کرے گا، مگر تیرے رب کے ہاں کا ایک دن تمہارے شمار کے ہزار برس کے برابر ہُوا کرتا ہے ﴿۴۷﴾ کتنی ہی بستیاں ہیں جو ظالم تھیں، میں نے ان کو پہلے مہلت دی، پھر پکڑ لیا اور سب کو واپس تو میرے پاس ہی آنا ہے ﴿۴۸﴾
