Say: 'No one in the heavens and the earth knows the Unseen except
Allah.' They are not aware of when they will be raised. (Qur'an,
27:65)
They will ask you about the Hour: when is it due? Say: 'Knowledge
of it rests with my Lord alone. He alone will reveal it at its proper
time. It hangs heavy in the heavens and the earth. It will not come
upon you except suddenly.' They will ask you as if you had full
knowledge of it. Say: 'Knowledge of it rests with Allah alone. But
most people do not know that.' (Qur'an, 7:187)
Truly Allah has knowledge of the Hour and sends down abundant
rain and knows what is in the womb. And no self knows what it
will earn tomorrow and no self knows in what land it will die.
Allah is All-Knowing, All-Aware. (Qur'an, 31:34)
And when Allah says, ''Isa son of Maryam! Did you say to people,
"Take me and my mother as gods besides Allah?"' he will say,
'Glory be to You! It is not for me to say what I have no right to say!
If I had said it, then You would have known it. You know what is
in my self but I do not know what is in Your Self. You are the
Knower of all unseen things. (Qur'an, 5:116)

HE CREATES OUT OF NOTHING
Our Word to a thing when We desire it is just to say to it 'Be!' and
it is. (Qur'an, 16:40)
'Zakariyya! We give you the good news of a boy named Yahya, a
name we have given to no one else before.' He said, 'My Lord!
How can I have a boy when my wife is barren and I have reached
advanced old age?' He said, 'It will be so! Your Lord says, "That is
easy for me to do. I created you before, when you were not
anything.' (Qur'an, 19:7-9)
It is He Who created the heavens and the earth with truth. The
day He says 'Be!' it is. His speech is Truth. The Kingdom will be
His on the Day the Trumpet is blown, the Knower of the Unseen
and the Visible. He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware. (Qur'an, 6:73)
