Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Unseen belongs to Allah and only He has Knowledge of the HourAllah tells us of the perfection of His knowledge and ability to do all things, by telling us that He alone knows the Unseen of the heavens and the earth. No one knows anything about such things except for what Allah informs about as He wills.
