One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Assalamu Allaikkum,

 

1. Five things which only allah knows?? Whats that??

 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

 

Answer:

 

Five things only known to Allah

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 31 Surah Luqman Verse 34:

34      Verily the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah (alone).  It is He Who sends down rain and He Who knows what is in the wombs.  Nor does anyone know what it is that he will earn on the morrow: nor does anyone know in what land he is to die.  Verily with Allah is full knowledge and He is acquainted (with all things).

 

The Lord Most Exalted shares from His Absolute Knowledge whatever He Wills and Pleases to whomever He Wills and Pleases. There are innumerable things which The Lord All-Knowing Alone Knows and shares with none in creation; and amongst this Exclusive Knowledge are five things as listed in the above quoted Aayah:

1. None has the knowledge of when the Hour will be established except Allah Subhanah Alone.
2. None knows exactly when, where, and how much rain will descend from the skies except Allah Subhanah Alone.
3. None knows exactly what is and what transpires in the womb of the mother except Allah Subhanah Alone.
4. None knows exactly how much and what one will earn the next day and in the future except Allah Subhanah Alone.
5. None knows in what land, when, and how exactly one’s life on this world will end except Allah Subhanah Alone.

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
