Transliteration:( Ilaihi yuraddu 'ilmus Saaa'ah; wa maa takhruju min samaraatim min akmaamihaa wa maa tahmilu min unsaa wa laa tada'u illaa bi'ilmih; wa Yawma yunaadeehim aina shurakaaa'ee qaalooo aazannaaka maa minnaa min shaheed )
129. This means that all these Prophets and Saints, who are asked about the knowledge of the Day of Judgement, refer it to Allah Almighty saying, "Allah knows best".
Or, it means that without Allah Almighty's knowledge, there is no other source to know about the Day of Judgement. It is stated in sawi Shareef that Allah Almighty has given full knowledge of the Day of Judgement to the Holy Prophet but the Messenger of Allah keep it concealed as it is from the special mystical knowledge of Allah Almighty.
It is stated in Tafseer Roohul Bayaan that the great Sufi sages state: "Allah Almighty bestowed the knowledge of Qiyamah upon His Beloved Prophet “
The Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم. has disclosed the signs of Qiyamah, its day, date and month, i.e. Friday the 10th of Muharram. If the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم had not been given the knowledge about it, then how did he disclose its signs and the day, date and month? However, he did not disclose after how many years it would be taking place. This is from the Divine secrets.
130. This means Allah Almighty is fully aware of the condition of the fruit before their sheaths appear, i.e. whether it would be imperfect or perfect. He is fully aware about the pregnancy of the female and what its period and condition, i.e. when will the baby be born, how will it be, how long will it live, what will it be eating. what will it be doing, etc.
If you doubt it and believe that even an astrologer can provide this information, and on many occasions even the saints of Allah and those possessing psychic knowledge can disclose this information, which prove to be absolutely correct. The reply to this is that the information given by these Hindu priests, astrologers, etc. are merely based on conjecture. Most of it is found to be incorrect and a few predictions, which turn out to be true. are co-incidental. The information provided by the holy Saints is absolutely true, but this is not from their personal knowledge, but that which is given to them by Allah Almighty (Tafseer Khazain and Khazainul Irfaan).
131. This call will be proclaimed by Allah Almighty through the angels, for the polytheists. By associates is meant the idols made by them.
132. This means that today there is none from us to give this testimony that You have any associate. We are witnesses that You are One, without any partners.
The tafsir of Surah Fussilat verse 47 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Fussilat ayat 46 which provides the complete commentary from verse 46 through 48.
(41:47) The knowledge of the Hour[61] rests solely with Him.[60] Not a fruit comes forth from its sheath, nor does any female conceive nor give birth to a child but it is in His knowledge.[62] On that Day He will call out to them: “Where are those associates of Mine?” They will answer: “We have declared to You that none of us can bear witness to that.”[63]
61. The Hour: the Hour of Resurrection, i.e. the Hour when the evildoers will be punished for their evil and the grievances of the oppressed good people will be redressed.
62. By this the listeners have been made to realize two things:
(1) That not only of Resurrection but the knowledge of all unseen things is reserved for Allah alone; there is no other knower of the unseen.
(2) That God Who possesses the detailed knowledge of the most minor things cannot remain unaware of the acts and deeds of anybody.
Therefore, no one in His kingdom should act fearlessly, with impunity. Only according to this second meaning the sentence becomes relevant to what follows. If one studies the following sentences, the theme that immediately becomes obvious is: Don’t concern yourselves about finding our the date of the coming of Resurrection; you should, however, be anxious about the consequences of your deviations you will have to bear when it comes. This same thing had the Prophet (peace be upon him) once said to a person, who asked him the date of the coming of Resurrection. All the major collections of Hadith contain a commonly reported tradition to the effect: Once when the Prophet (peace be upon him) was on a journey, a man on the way shouted his name from a distance. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked what he wanted to say. He said: When will Resurrection come? The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied: It must come, in any case! What preparations have you made for it?
63. That is, now we have realized that what we had in our minds was absolutely wrong. Now none among us is of the view that there is another one who is also your associate in Godhead. The words “we announce” show that on the Day of Resurrection the disbelievers will be asked again and again, on every occasion: In the world you went on refusing to believe what the Messengers of God said: now say who was in the right: they or you? And the disbelievers will every time confess that the truth indeed was that which the Messengers preached and they themselves were in the wrong because they forsook the knowledge and persisted in their own ignorance.
64. That is, in their utter hopelessness they will look around to see if they could find any one of those whom they used to serve and worship in the world, who could come to their rescue and save them from God’s torment, or at least have their punishment reduced, but they will find no helper on any side.
