English translation

Tomorrow Rajab begins, and you will see these wonders.

Literal wording

Tomorrow Rajab will begin, and you will see the wonders.

Meaning and lesson

The saying cautions against making or amplifying dramatic predictions about what has not happened. Rather than treating rumor or conjecture as knowledge, it points to the near future as the test of such claims.

Rajab names the approaching month in which wonders have been promised. The saying points to events soon testing the prediction, rather than granting authority to claims of knowing the unseen.

When it is used

Used when people circulate striking forecasts or rumors, to urge waiting for events rather than treating speculation as fact.
