The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: ((To Him is returned the knowledge of the Hour...)).
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
We return to deriving rulings from the verses. Allah the Exalted said: [Fussilat 41:47] to the end of it. One of the benefits of this verse is that the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah alone. From where is this derived, my brother?
The student:[Fussilat 41:47]
The Shaykh : How is it derived from the fact that it is with Him alone?
The student: Because he placed what should be delayed... he intended restriction.
The Shaykh : Good, because he placed what should be delayed—and it is the object of the verb—and this indicates restriction.
And among the benefits of this noble verse is that whoever claims knowledge of the Hour is a disbeliever. The reason for this is that he is lying to Allah, and lying to Allah is disbelief. And whoever believes him is also a disbeliever, because he believed in what is a denial of the noble Qur'an. And whoever believes in what is a denial of the noble Qur'an is a disbeliever without doubt. We regret that the time has ended now, and we will return to it if Allah wills tomorrow, with the permission of Allah.
To him [alone] is attributed knowledge of the Hour
