Continuation of the explanation of the five things that no one knows except Allah, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the verse: "Indeed, with Allah is the knowledge of the Hour," then he turned away and said, "Bring him back," but they saw nothing, so he said, "This is Jibril who came to teach people their religion." Abu 'Abdullah said, "He made all of this part of faith."

The Shaykh : He said: Then he recited: , meaning that the knowledge of the Hour is among the five things, and the "in" here indicates inclusion, meaning within the five things, Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) recited: the verse.
, all of these five things are known, except for the phrase: which falls under the category of what is decreed, not what is known, because Allah did not say: "and He knows the descent of rain," He said: "and He sends down rain," but since He is the One specifically in charge of sending down rain, He is specifically in charge of knowing it, because rain descends by His knowledge, but He, Glorified and Exalted is He, said: "He sends down rain," because this is more eloquent regarding the benefit of this rain, because the mere knowledge of Allah of its descent does not benefit people in any way, but its descent is what people can benefit from, and for this reason He said: , meaning this directly affects the souls, unlike the knowledge of the descent of rain.
With Him is the knowledge of the Hour, but as one of the Westerners said, that the Hour will occur exactly in the twentieth century, meaning in seven years.

The questioner : Six years.

The Shaykh : Yes, six.

The questioner : Seven years.

The Shaykh : In any case, six or seven, I say this is a lie, and it is not permissible to believe it, and it is not possible that Allah would keep the knowledge of the Hour from Jibril and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon them both) and then a disbelieving atheist man would say that it will happen in the year 2000, but this is part of their foolishness, and as I told you a few days ago, last year I read a full page in one of the newspapers about a woman they named, but I forgot her name, her name is the soothsayer, they published her picture, and she said that among the things that would happen in the past year, a high official in the Arab countries would relinquish his responsibility to another person, but all the illusions went to different directions and nothing happened, which indicates the falsehood of the soothsayers.
Now, means the rain that brings forth the bounty, which is what causes the earth to grow, because rain is of two types: some is bounty and some is not, as it came in Sahih Muslim:
And among the people of Najd there is a famous year called the year of the dung, do you know what dung is? It is the dung of a camel or the dung of sheep or goats, they say that rains came but under the dung it did not get wet, what was under the dung did not get wet, and it became spring, spring, spring, and this is a blessing from Allah, and for this reason He said: without saying "and He knows the descent of rain."
, the wombs is the plural of womb, and it is the container of the fetus in the belly of its mother, and it is called a womb because its holding of the fetus is a holding of mercy and protection, and for this reason the All-Knowing, the Wise, the Wise, Mighty and Majestic, made it closed in three layers and made what directly touches the fetus a thin, moving, viscous liquid like mercury, so that the fetus does not get tired in the belly of its mother, because the mother moves, goes and comes, sleeps and stands and sits, so if this water, by the permission of Allah, were not soft and easy, this pregnancy would not have found rest.
Then the back of the fetus is toward the belly of its mother, and its face is toward her back, so that its face is protected by the back of the mother, and its back is on the side of the belly, and this is also from the kindness of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, then when Allah wills for her to give birth, labor comes, and labor is the movement of the fetus in order to descend, because it moves so that its head is the lowest, so the head comes out before the legs, and if it had descended in its natural position in the belly of its mother, the legs would have come out first, but Allah is Wise, the head comes out first, so that the exit of the fetus is smooth, if the legs had come out, the hands would have prevented the exit and harm would have occurred to it and to the mother, but Glory to the Wise, the All-Knowing, meaning who moved it this movement in the belly of its mother except Allah, Mighty and Majestic, so that it descends in a natural way.
Is the meaning whether it is male or female? We say yes, before it is created, this includes whether it is male or female, because before it is created, no one knows what it will be, and for this reason the angel in charge of the womb asks his Lord, Mighty and Majestic, for permission, he says: O my Lord, is it male or female? And if it is male or female, the angel knows it before it comes out, and now they know it by means of certain rays, that it is male or female, but they cannot know it before that.
Then we say: the knowledge related to what is in the wombs is not limited to whether it is male or female, it has several related matters:
First: does it come out alive or dead, does anyone know?
No one knows, no matter how far they have reached in medicine, they do not know, if it comes out, will it stay for a long time or a short time?
This also they do not know, if it comes out, will its provision be wide or will its provision be restricted?
This also they do not know, if it comes out, will its work be good or its work be bad?
This also they do not know, so the matters related to the knowledge of what is in the wombs are not limited to males and females, and all of these are known by no one except Allah.

A type from his earning, and a type from the action of Allah upon him, as for what is from the action of Allah upon him, there is no way to know it at all, as for what is from his earning, a person may estimate it, he may say tomorrow I will do such and such, I will do such and such, I will do such and such, but is he guaranteed?
So he has no knowledge of it, and even if he estimates it, he has no knowledge of it, as for what is related to the knowledge of Allah of it, there is no way to know it at all.
