The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is it true that there are secrets in the Qur'an that we do not know, and that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not clarify, and that no one knows them except Allah?
The Shaykh:
The outcomes of affairs and their consequences are known only to Allah, such as the bliss in Paradise, the joy therein, and the punishment in the Fire. No one knows the reality of these hidden matters except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes. There are things we do not comprehend. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
The names and attributes of Allah: we do not know their modality; rather, we believe in them and affirm them for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and we know their meanings, but we do not know their modality. Yes.
