40:18
وَأَنذِرْهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْءَازِفَةِ إِذِ ٱلْقُلُوبُ لَدَى ٱلْحَنَاجِرِ كَٰظِمِينَ ۚ مَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ مِنْ حَمِيمٍۢ وَلَا شَفِيعٍۢ يُطَاعُ
And warn them, [O Muhammad], of the Approaching Day, when hearts are at the throats, filled [with distress]. For the wrongdoers there will be no devoted friend and no intercessor [who is] obeyed.

Tafsir
Ibn Kathīr (abridged)
Warning of the Day of Resurrection and Allah's judgement on that Day
`The Day that is drawing near' is one of the names of the Day of Judgement. It is so called because it is close, as Allah says:
أَزِفَتِ الاٌّزِفَةُ - لَيْسَ لَهَا مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ كَاشِفَةٌ
(The Day of Resurrection draws near. None besides Allah can avert it) (53:57-58)
اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ
(The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder) (54:1)
