Sahih International:

Indeed, the Hour is coming – I almost conceal it – so that every soul may be recompensed according to that for which it strives. (Taha [20] : 15)

Surely, the Hour (i.e. the Day of Judgment) has to come. I would keep it secret, so that everyone is given a return for the effort one makes.
