Muslims will say that Jesus didn't know the Hour. Does Allah?


S 33:63 People ask you about the Hour. Say: The knowledge of it is only with Allah. And what will make you know? Perhaps the Hour is near.


Relevant part: لَعَلَّ السَّاعَةَ تَكُونُ قَرِيبًا la’alla al-sa’ata takunu qariban.


S 42:17 Allah is the one who has sent down the book with truth and the balance. And what will make you know? Perhaps the Hour is near.


Relevant part: لَعَلَّ السَّاعَةَ قَرِيبٌ la’alla al-sa’ata qaribun.


In the first verse we find takunu, a feminine verb agreeing with sa’ah but the adjective is masculine. In the second the verb is missing and the adjective is again masculine.



Why 'perhaps'? Is there a doubt on the author's part that Allah knows the Hour?
