Ive always been really interested in string theory and attempting to understand multiple dimensions. We are 3 dimensional creatures so understanding that is easy : there’s length, width, and depth to everything around us. The 4th dimension can be tricky to understand : it’s basically something that is 3D moving thru time. So if you were to imageine yourself NOW, yourself 10minutes ago, 2 hours from now, 15 years from now etc…all those instances of you connected (thru time) is the 4th dimension. Almost like how a film-strip has clips : instant images of a film from beginning to end, with each frame representing a moment in time. So in short : the 4th dimension is a timeline and the changes we notice during those time changes. The 5th Dimension is ALL possible timelines that could have existed based on the actions you take at each frame. So for example, the life you live now ( the timeline you are moving thru) depends on the actions you take. The timeline of you graduating college, getting a job, moving to a big city etc existed because you took that pathway. There is however, a timeline of you where you perhaps didn’t graduate college, and instead started a successful business and lived a very wealthy life. That timeline is there - and so do an infinite number of possible timelines. But you are in the one you are in, so it’s the only one you notice and accept as your reality. In Short : The 5 dimension is all the possible timelines created by all the possible choices you could have made. Understanding the 4th and 5th dimensions can be challenging because we are 3D creatures and are trying to comprehend a world that is beyond us…so we have to do a lot of imagining. THATS why this ayah is so amazing ! in such simple terms Allah swt shows us that He is the ALL-KNOWER…across dimensions that are beyond our realm: Knowledge of Hour : 5th dimension The rain : 4th and 5th dimensions What is in the wombs : 4th and 5th dimension  Tomorrow’s earnings :5th dimension Moment of Death :5th dimension A similar display is seen in 41:47 Knowledge of Hour : 5th dimension Fruits coming forth : 4th and 5th dimensions Conceiving : 4th and 5th dimensions Giving birth : 4th and 5th dimensions

sA this is amazing. To be honest, I have always considered the 4th dimension. As though my life is a film strip playing from beginning to end, but I never considered a 5th dimension. I have always considered how we as indivuals are in control of our fate and any active changes we make is like a course correction on our journey but to consider multiple timelines existinting at once is pretty amazing. If anything this proves how we have the ability to change our destiny... of only we could all see our existence in this way, from a birds eye view. We would be an enlightened race!
