*According to [['Allama Tabataba'i]], "ajal musamma" and "ajal mu'allaq" both refer to the end of human life. However, the former is a time in which the human person inevitably and certainly dies and which is only known to God, whereas the latter is the time of one's death given his or her physical conditions, which can be shortened or lengthened due to external factors. | * According to [['Allama Tabataba'i]], "al-ajal al-musamma" and "al-ajal al-mu'allaq" both refer to the end of human life.

According to some scholars, including [[Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tabataba'i]], the difference between "ajal musamma" and "ajal mu'allaq" is that the former is inevitable and certain, with no bada' (or change) occurring to it, whereas changes are possible in the latter. In other words, some actions such as [[supplication]]s, [[charity]], and the like can affect ajal mu'allaq (by lengthening it), but they have no effect on al-ajal al-musamma. Moreover, some Quranic verses, particularly the verse 2 of Sura al-An'am in which al-ajal al-musamma is only known to God, have been cited to show that only God knows al-ajal al-musamma. | According to some scholars, including [[Sayyid Muhammad Husayn Tabataba'i]], the difference between "al-ajal al-musamma" and "al-ajal al-mu'allaq" is that the former is inevitable and certain, with no [[bada']] (or change) occurring to it, whereas changes are possible in the latter.
