Although God is not limited by our perception of time, we can relate to the terms he uses when he foretells that an event will occur at a specific time.
فَرَغْمَ أَنَّهُ غَيْرُ مُقَيَّدٍ بِمَفْهُومِ ٱلْبَشَرِ لِلزَّمَنِ ،‏ فَهُوَ يَسْتَخْدِمُ عِبَارَاتٍ وَاضِحَةً بِٱلنِّسْبَةِ إِلَيْنَا حِينَ يَتَنَبَّأُ عَنْ أَمْرٍ سَيَحْصُلُ فِي وَقْتٍ مُعَيَّنٍ .‏
