Surah Luqman (31) — Ayah 34

34-1. It is mentioned in a hadith that there are five things which are the keys of the unseen, which no one knows except Allah. The signs of the Hour have indeed been described by the Prophet ﷺ, but the certain knowledge of the occurrence of the Hour is known to none except Allah, neither to any angel nor to any sent prophet. The matter of rain is similar; estimates can be made from signs and indications, and can be made, but it is part of every person's experience and observation that these estimates sometimes turn out to be correct and sometimes incorrect. Even the announcements of the meteorological department sometimes do not prove to be correct. This clearly shows that the certain knowledge of rain is also not with anyone except Allah. Through mechanical means, an imperfect guess about the gender in the mother's womb may perhaps be possible, whether it is a boy or a girl, but the child developing in the mother's womb—whether he will be fortunate or unfortunate, imperfect or perfect, handsome or ugly, dark or fair, etc.—the knowledge of these matters is with none except Allah. What will a person do tomorrow? Whether it is a matter of religion or the world, no one has knowledge about the coming tomorrow—whether it will even come in his life or not? And if it comes, what will he do in it? Where will death come? At home or outside the home, in his homeland or in a foreign land, will it come in youth or in old age, after the fulfillment of his desires and wishes or before that? No one knows.
