The Muslim is not obligated to deal with matters of the unseen

It is reported in a hadith that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Every person has two companions) or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said. So where are these two companions in Ramadan, and where are they when they enter the sacred precinct?
This, my brother, is among the matters of the unseen, and regarding the matters of the unseen, we have no more knowledge than what we have heard. If something is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the matters of the unseen, we accept it and we do not say: How is it so? Or why is it so? These are matters of the unseen.

And I advise you, and I advise whoever hears these words of mine: One should not address matters of the unseen with "how" or "why",Rather, he says: We have believed in Allah and we have affirmed what He said, and praise be to Allah, we are not obligated to know.
