Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : How is knowledge restricted to these five matters mentioned in the verse, when there are other matters that no one knows except Allah?

The Shaykh : Yes, yes, this is a good question. They say that these are the keys.
with Him are the keys of the unseen عنده مفاتح الغيب
[Al-An'am 6:59]
The knowledge of the Hour is the key to the Hereafter; the rain is the key to the life of the earth; what is in the wombs is the key to the life of every person according to his measure;
no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow ما تدري نفس ماذا تكسب غدا
[Luqman 31:34]
is the key to future deeds;
and no soul perceives in what land it will die وما تدري نفس بأي أرض تموت
[Luqman 31:34]
is the key to the Hereafter of every specific person. For this reason, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) interpreted the keys of the unseen with these.
