Al Anam

HR Background

وَ عِنْدَهٗ مَفَاتِحُ الْغَیْبِ لَا یَعْلَمُهَاۤ اِلَّا هُوَؕ-وَ یَعْلَمُ مَا فِی الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِؕ-وَ مَا تَسْقُطُ مِنْ وَّرَقَةٍ اِلَّا یَعْلَمُهَا وَ لَا حَبَّةٍ فِیْ ظُلُمٰتِ الْاَرْضِ وَ لَا رَطْبٍ وَّ لَا یَابِسٍ اِلَّا فِیْ كِتٰبٍ مُّبِیْنٍ(59)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And with Him are the keys of the unseen; He alone knows them.[1] And He knows all that is in the land and the sea. And no leaf falls, nor does any seed exist within the darkness of the earth, except that He knows about it. And there is nothing moist nor dry except that it is in a clear book.

Commentary

[1]

The keys of the unseen belong to Allah Almighty, and no one knows the unseen independently other than the Almighty. The reality of the unseen is not revealed without divine bestowal. This verse does not contradict the concept that Allah Almighty has granted prophets and saints some knowledge of the unseen as this is established through the Quran and Hadith traditions.
