On the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Indeed, Allah has knowledge of the Hour and sends down rain and knows what is in the wombs,” and in our era, it is possible to know when rain will fall and to know
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Just as it has become the case that they discovered tomorrow it will rain, he did not say [Luqman 31:34] The verse means intrinsic knowledge, meaning that any person, any creature, without being taught by Allah, cannot know anything of these four matters mentioned in the verse, by his own nature. However, through means, by causes that Allah created and made subservient for His servants, this does not contradict that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has exclusively reserved for Himself the knowledge of the unseen.
For example, today in astronomical calendars, after a hundred years, it will tell you that on such-and-such day, an eclipse will occur, and this eclipse is total, partial, half, and so on. How did he know this after a hundred years? It could have become dust by then. How did he know? Is this from knowledge of the unseen? The answer is no, because the unseen intended is, as some exaggerate, meaning he closes his eyes like this and discovers things that no human being sees. This is the thing from the unseen that is denied for any human to know. However, when Jibril (peace be upon him) descended to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said to him, “Your Lord will tell you such-and-such,” this does not mean that the Messenger knew the unseen, but rather he was informed of the unseen. Therefore, Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Jinn 72:26-27] so be it.
The questioner :[Al-Jinn 72:27] .
The Shaykh : So be it. The one chosen from the messengers was informed of the unseen through Allah revealing it to him. This is one thing, and his knowing the unseen by his own nature is another thing. Therefore, there is no contradiction between this verse [Al-Jinn 72:26-27] and His saying, Blessed and Exalted is He: [An-Naml 27:65] [An-Naml 27:65] The knowledge intended by this denial is intrinsic knowledge, and the knowledge intended is not the knowledge revealed to the messenger He has chosen.
Did you understand how? Likewise, any other person, by means of one of the means that Allah has facilitated for one of His servants, to be informed of a matter hidden from others, this is not the unseen, because he did not know this unseen by his own nature, but rather through the causes that Allah facilitated for him. If what I said about the doctor is correct, that he was informed that this fetus is male, and it actually turned out when it was born that it was male, this does not mean that he knew the unseen, because he did not know that by his own nature, meaning without a medium, without a cause created by Allah, but rather from the causes that Allah made subservient for His servants.
So, for example, when a farmer cuts a tree from the middle of the trunk, he will tell you, “This is, for example, five or ten years old.” The ordinary person is surprised: How does he know this? Is he a knower of the unseen? No, but through his practice and experience, he has knowledge that every ring indicates a year. So, by counting the rings, he knows the age of the tree. This is not knowledge of the unseen; this is knowledge through the causes that Allah has facilitated. It is also said that a person can know the age of any other person, whether old or young, by the fine lines found on a person’s fingernail, where every line indicates a year, just as he is... Now expose us, you say no, because perhaps it is not clear. I do not know if the answer appeared to you or not, or if the doubt was removed or not?
The questioner : ... the door, my brother, rest, rest.
The Shaykh : A need to drink, Shaykh, this is all he drinks water and it becomes heavy.

sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow

(26) [He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone (27) Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers
عالم الغيب فلا يظهر على غيبه أحدا إلا من ارتضى من رسولThe questioner :
Except whom He has approved
إلا من ارتضىThe Shaykh :
except whom He has chosen from a messenger
إلا من ارتضى من رسول(26) [He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone (27) Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers
