God concealed from man the hour of his death; He said to Moses as in the Quran 20: 15, which means:
{"The 'Hour' [of man’s death] is [inevitably] coming; My design is to keep its [time] i hidden;
[Then God – be glorified – explained about the purpose of concealing or hiding it:]
so that every soul may [in the Next Life] be rewarded according to its endeavour. j "}
................................................................
15 i i.e. He is about to conceal its time to people, till the time of approaching of their death appointment.
15 j i.e. so that every soul will in the Next Life be rewarded, according to what [good or evil] work it did in the life of the World.
That is because whoso denies the Next Life and Judgment, will abandon the righteous work, and will do major sins and so will lose.
And whoso believes in the Next Life and Judgment, will avoid major sins and work righteousness and so will succeed.

========================================================
In the next aya, God - be glorified - explained that He warned Moses of disbelievers to be caustious of their designs to divert him from the Next Life following death, and He said to him:
Quran 20: 16, which means:
{"Therefore let not such as: ‘believe not therein, but follows his own lusts’, divert you from [believing in] the [Next Life and Judgment], lest you fall down!" k}
....................................................................
16 k The meaning: If you do not believe in Next Life and Judgment, and do not worship me, and do not remember me in prayers and others, then you will lose and fall in the chastisement.
Although the addressing is to Moses, but in truth it is for all men responsible for their acts.
Tibrisy said in his book (Majma Al-Bayan): “These ayat indicate that God – be glorified – spoke to Moses and His speech was created; because it was located in the tree and consisted of arranged letters.”
God – be glorified – said in the Quran 21: 2, which means:
(No admonition comes to them from their Lord, recent, but they hear it while they are playing.) So the ‘admonition’ is the Quran.
That is because some of Muslims said: “The Quran is recent”; while others said: “It is eternal and not recent.”
