Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near (72:25)

Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim

Say to them: I do not know whether the promised Day of Judgment is close at hand or Allah has ordained that it be remote in time

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(72:25) Say: 'I know not whether what you are promised is near or whether my Lord will prolong its term. *25

Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near meaning

*25) The style itself shows that this is an answer which has been given without citing the question. Probably, hearing what has been said above, the opponents might have asked mockingly and tauntingly: "When will the time with which you are threatening us come?" In response, the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace) was commanded to say: "The time will certainly come, but I have not been told the date of its coming. AIIah alone knows whether is will come soon, or whether a distant term has been set for it. "
