This lecture explores the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) acknowledgement of uncertainty regarding the timing of divine victory. The Quranic verses cited reveal that even the Prophet did not know whether the promised events were imminent or distant.

The verses also suggest that trials and tribulations may be part of the divine plan, serving as both tests and opportunities for growth.
