God Does Not Know Your Fate; You Chose Your Fate, Heaven or Hell
"Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves."
(Quran 13:11)
Most certainly We will try you until We have discovered those among you who strive their hardest, and those who are steadfast, and will test your record. Muhammad 47: 31
Human nature desires a society based on morals and manners which provides a stable and secure life leading to liberty and happiness for all people.
Prophet Muhammad Does Not Know Whether He Goes to Heaven or Hell
The verse you are referring to is:
"Say, [O Muhammad], 'I am not something original among the messengers, nor do I know what will be done with me or with you. I only follow that which is revealed to me, and I am not but a clear warner.'"
(Quran 46:9)
Explanation:
"Nor do I know what will be done with me or with you": This emphasizes the humility of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his reliance on Allah's decree. It highlights that the knowledge of unseen events, including ultimate judgment, lies solely with Allah.
"I only follow that which is revealed to me": The Prophet acts solely according to the guidance from Allah, underscoring his role as a messenger.
"I am not but a clear warner": His primary duty is to convey the message and warn people about the consequences of their deeds.
This verse reflects the principle that ultimate knowledge and judgment are Allah’s alone. It also teaches reliance on divine guidance rather than personal assumptions or claims.
