Holy
Quran Chapter 31 V 34.
Verily, Allah, with Him is the knowledge of
the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No
person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he
will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware. )
The
Knower of the Unseen is Allah, These are the keys of the Unseen, whose
knowledge Allah alone has kept for Himself, and no one else knows them unless
Allah tells him about them. The knowledge of ` when the Hour will occur' is not
known to any Prophet who was sent or any angel who is close to Allah.
(None can reveal its time but He) (7:187).
Similarly, no one but Allah knows when
rain will fall, but when He issues the commands, the angels who are entrusted
with the task of bringing rain know about it, as do those among His creation
whom He wills should know. No one but He knows what is in the wombs of what He
wants to create, but when He decrees whether it is to be male or female, and
whether it is to be blessed or doomed, the angels who are entrusted with that
know about it, as do those among His creation whom He wills should know. No one
knows what he will earn tomorrow with regard to this world or the Hereafter.
(and no person knows in what land he will die.
) In his own land or elsewhere, in some other land. No one knows this. This
Ayah is like the Ayah,
(And with Him are the keys of the Unseen, none
knows them but He. ) (6:59)
It was reported in the Sunnah that the
above five things are called the Keys of the Unseen.
Imam Ahmad recorded that Buraydah said
that he heard the Messenger of Allah say:
(There are five things which no one knows except Allah: (Verily, Allah,
with Him is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that
which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no
person knows in what land he will die.
Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware.
)) The chain of narrators for this Hadith is Sahih, although they did not
recorded it .
The Hadith of Ibn
` Umar
Imam Ahmad recorded that Ibn ` Umar
said, "The Messenger of Allah said:
(The Keys of the Unseen are five, which no one
knows except Allah: (Verily, Allah, with Him is the knowledge of the Hour, He
sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what
he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die.
Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware.
)) This was recorded only by Al-Bukhari, which he narrated in the Book of the
Rain Prayer in his Sahih. He also recorded it in his Tafsir with a different
chain of narrators, stating that ` Abdullah bin ` Umar said, "The Prophet
said:
(Verily, Allah, with Him is the knowledge of
the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. ) This
too was recorded only by Al-Bukhari.
The Hadith of Abu
Hurayrah
his Tafsir of this Ayah, Al-Bukhari
narrated from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger
of Allah was standing before the people one day when a man came to him and
said, `O Messenger of Allah, what is Iman' He said:
(Iman is to believe in Allah, His Angels, His
Books, His Messengers and in the meet ing with Him, and to believe in the Resurrect
ion in the Hereaf ter.) He said: `O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam' He said:
(Islam is to worship Allah Alone and not
associate anything in worship with Him, to establish regular prayer, to pay the
obligatory Zakah, and to fast in Ramadan. ) He said, `O Messenger of Allah,
what is Ihsan' He said:
(Ihsan is to worship Allah as if you see Him,
and if you do not see Him, then He sees you.) He said, `O Messenger of Allah,
when will the Hour come' He said:
(The one who is asked about it does not know
more than the one who is asking, but I will tell you of some of its signs: when
the servant woman gives birth to her mist ress, that is one of its signs; when
the barefoot and naked become leaders of the people, that is one of its signs.
The timing of the Hour is one of the f ive things which no one knows except
Allah: (Verily, Allah, with Him is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the
rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. . . . )) Then the man went away,
and the Prophet said, (Bring him back to
me. ) They went to bring him back, but they could not find him. He said:
(That
was Jibril who came to teach the people their religion. ) It was also recorded
by Al-Bukhari in the Book of Faith, and by Muslim with several chains of narrat
ion. We have discussed this at the beginning of our commentary on Al-Bukhari,
where we mentioned at length some
Hadiths narrated by the Commander of the
faithful ` Umar bin Al-Khat tab. These were recorded only by Muslim.
(and no
person knows in what land he will die. ) Qatadah said, "There are some
things which Allah has kept to Himself, and they are not known to any angel who
is close to Him or any Prophet who was sent by Him.
(Verily,
Allah, with Him is the knowledge of the Hour,) no one among mankind knows when
the Hour will come, in which year or month, or whether it will come at night or
during the day.
(He sends
down the rain,) and no one knows when rain will come, night or day.
(and knows
that which is in the wombs. ) No one knows what is in the wombs, male or
female, red or black, or what it is.
(No person
knows what he will earn tomorrow, ) whether it will be good or bad. You do not know,
O son of Adam, when you will die. You might die tomorrow; you might be stricken
by calamity tomorrow.
(and no
person knows in what land he will die. ) Means, no person knows where his resting
place will be, on the land or in the sea, on a plain or in the mountains. It
says in the Hadith:
(If Allah
wants to take a person's soul in a particular land, He will give him a reason
to go there. ) In Al-Mu` j am Al-Kabir, Al-Haf iz Abu Al-Qasim At -Tabarani
recorded that Usamah bin Zayd said, "The Messenger of Allah said:
(Allah
does not will that a person should die in a certain land but He gives him a
reason to go there. )''
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. Sufficient
for us is Allah and He is the Best Disposer of af fairs.
