Ilm e ghaib

Allama Haskfi (ra) states, “Hajj was made obligatory in the year 9 A.H but the Prophet delayed it until 10 A.H based on an excuse. He also had knowledge of his sustained life on earth so that the propagation of Islam could be completed.” -Durre-Mukhtaar, Beginning of Kitaabul-Hajj.

Imam Qastalaani (ra) states, “Nubuwwah (Prophethood) is derived from the root word Naba, which means ‘information’, meaning Allah(swt) has informed him (Rasoolullahﷺ) of the unseen (ghaib).” Mawaahib

9/65-Tafseer Durre-Mansoor and Tabri, “Hadrat Ibn Abbas (ra) states that the reason for revelation of this ayat is that a Munaafiq had said, “Muhammad ﷺ says that the camel of a certain person is in a certain area. What information does he have of the unseen (ghaib)?”

This ayat and Commentary lead us to conclude that to reject the Knowledge of the Unseen (I1m-e-Ghaib) of Rasoolullahﷺ is the action of the Munaafiqs and has been deemed by the Quran to be an act of infidelity (kufr)

Tafseere-Azeezi states, “Through his noor of prophethood, Rasoolullahﷺ knows the deen of every person (meaning he is aware of what level of the deen one is on). He knows the intensity of people’s Imaan and what impedes their progress. In short, he recognizes your sins, levels of Imaan, sincerity, hypocrisy and good deeds. Therefore according to the Shariah, his testification in this world is compulsory on the Ummah to accept and act upon.”

Tafseer-e-Jalalain says Allah Ta’ala taught His Apostle ﷺ the commandments and the Unseen.

Tafseer-e-Jalalain says that Allah Ta’ala taught the Holy Prophet ﷺ the Shari’ah Laws and the religion,and taught him the Unseen, which he knew not, and gave him the knowledge of that which was hidden in the human mind, and disclosed to him the evil doings of the Hypocrites.

Tafseer-e-Hussaini Bahrul Haqaeq says verse 3/44 refers to the absolute knowledge of all Unseen which Allah Ta’ala granted to Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ during the Me’raj.

Under the following ayat, “ما کان اللہ لیذر المومنین علی مآ انتم علیہ” Tafseer Khaazin reports the following,”The Prophet has said, “My Ummah, with their appearances in moulds of clay, were placed before me just as how they were placed before Hadrat Adam (as) was informed of who will bring Imaan upon me and who will commit infidelity (kufr).” when news of this reached the Munaafiqs, they began to laugh and say, “Muhammad says that he was informed of people being kaafirs and mu’mins even before they were created, but we are with him and he doesn’t recognize us.” Rasoolullahﷺ stood up on the mimbar after he was informed of this, praised Allah(swt) and said, “What is the condition of people who mock my knowledge? I shall inform and answer any question you ask me from now until Qiyaamat!”

Tafseer Khaazin states, “The Holy Prophetﷺ will be called on the Day of Qiyaamat and Allah(swt) will ask him about the condition of his Ummah. Rasoolullahﷺ will then testify to their innocence and truthfulness.”Rasoolullahﷺ completely aware of the Imaan, deeds, intentions, etc. of every Muslim until Qiyaamat. Otherwise, how could he vouch for his Ummah as being virtuous Muslims? It is not possible for any condition of a Muslim to be obscured to him.

Tafseer Khaazin states, “Allah(swt) grants them (i.e. the Prophets and Messengers) the awareness of His knowledge so that their enlightenment concerning Knowledge of the Unseen can be a proof of their prophethood, just as how Allah(swt) states, “He (Allah(swt)) does not reveal His unique knowledge of the unseen (ghaib) to anyone except the Messenger He is pleased with.’

Commentators observe that Allah Ta’ala has created Lauh-e-Mahfooz, a Tablet on which the Destinies of the world since it’s creation are written. It contains the Knowledge of all possible things. The knowledge of the Holy Prophet ﷺ encompasses the Lauh. The Holy Quran contains whatever is written in the Lauh and since the Holy Prophet ﷺ has been taught the Quran, he has the Knowledge of the Lauh-e-Mahfooz.

When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
