فَہَلۡ یَنۡظُرُوۡنَ اِلَّا السَّاعَۃَ اَنۡ تَاۡتِیَہُمۡ بَغۡتَۃً ۖ فَقَدۡ جَآءَ اَشۡرَاطُہَا ۚ فَاَنّٰی لَہُمۡ اِذَا جَآءَتۡہُمۡ ذِکۡرٰٮہُمۡ

The reference in the word, Ashrat (signs), seems to be to the Holy Prophet’s flight from Mecca which proved to be the prelude to the appearance of many other Signs.
22:56; 43:67.
Important Words:
أشراط (signs) is the plural of شرط. They say شرط علیه بکذا i.e. he imposed upon him such a condition. أشرط نفسه لکذا means, he marked himself for such an affair. شرط means, a sign, token or mark. أشراط الناس means, the best or meanest of men (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
Disbelievers are so obstinate in rejecting the Divine Message that they would not listen to any argument but would continue to insist that the threatened punishment should come soon. But, the verse purports to say, the signs of their destruction have already appeared if they but read them. When, however, punishment would actually arrive, their repentance would be of no avail. Why don’t they then take heed before it is too late? The reference in the word أشراط(signs) seems to be to the Holy Prophet’s flight from Mecca which proved to be the prelude to the appearance of many signs.
