Transliteration:( A'indahoo 'ilmul ghaibi fahuwa yaraa )
"Has he the knowledge of the unseen so that he can see [35]?"
✅ [81] Claiming Knowledge of the Unseen
This verse challenges the arrogance of those who claim to know the unseen, as if they have the ability to foresee the events of the Hereafter. Some commentators suggest that this refers to individuals who, in their pride, claim that others will bear their burdens in the Hereafter. They assume control over divine matters and arrogantly presume they can escape their own responsibilities.
The core lesson here is that only Allah has knowledge of the unseen, and no one can foretell the outcome of the Hereafter with certainty. Pride and arrogance in assuming such knowledge is a dangerous misunderstanding of divine sovereignty.

(53:35) Does he have any knowledge of the world beyond the ken of sense-perception, and therefore, clearly sees (the Truth)?[35]
35. That is, does he know that this conduct is in any way beneficial for him? Does he know that a person can save himself even in this way from the punishment of the Hereafter?
[1571]- Knows that his provision will be exhausted if he spends on the poor, while Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) has promised otherwise.
