Ilm e ghaib
The knowledge of these 5 things is unknown to anyone else besides allah ﷻ .this is the quality of allah ﷻ . these things are called 5special secrets (uloom e khamsa)
1 when wiil the day of judgement take place?
2 where will rainfall occur?
3 is there a boy or girl in the womb of the mother?
4 what will occur tomorrow?
5 where will a person die?
allah ﷻ gives that much amount of knowledge which he wishes like allah ﷻ doesnot reveal the unseen to anyone except for the distinguished messengers .without allahs revealing no one can know any of the things.
Al rahman ﷻ has taught his beloved prophet ﷺ the holy quran –even the mutashabahaat are also included in it .quran has every knowledge in it. So prophet ﷺ knows everything by the grace of allah ﷻ (his teacher) .prophet ﷺ has identification of jannatis and jahannamis. prophet ﷺ could identify munafiqs(hypocrites).
in sharah of bukhari states hadrath ibn masud ra states that the holy prophet ﷺ said in his sermon on the day of jumma “o certain person get out you are a hypocrite “vol 4 pg221.
(9/84) related and hadith where munafiq requested our prophet ﷺ to perform janazah – the hypocrite has some favour over hadrat abbas (ra) and his son was a sincere believer .he had made a wasiyat (will) for the holy prophet ﷺ to read his janaazah and doing so was not prohibited at that time .
About soul a question was raised –soul is a creation (maqluq).quran is not creation.
(allah’s kalam means allah is speaking to us via quran and our prohet ﷺ is action of quran )
Questions about qayamat was excessively asked until the verse of qiyamat surah naaziaat verse 42 was realeved .it means how often do you mention qiyamaat?
Our prophet being last that itself is the indication that qiyamat is near .prophet ﷺ has knowledge about soul and also qiyamaat.its between allah ﷻ and his prophet ﷺ to reveal about qiyamat or not ?
Jibreal (as) asked about qiyamat?prophet ﷺ said “the person asked doesnot have more knowledge than the questioner “the holy prophet ﷺ didn’t refute having the knowledge rather it means to divulge this secret in this open gathering is not suitable.
after this jibreal as said “then at least tell me the signs .then the holy prophet ﷺ mentioned few signs. the holy prophet ﷺ said it will be on no other daay but jumma-mishkaat baabu khutbatil –jumma.
then ,joining his tashahud and middle finger together he said “ qiyamat and I have been sent joined like this”-mishkaat.baabu khubatil-jumma.
remember hijri calender was not formulated in the prophets time but during caliphate of hadrat umar ibn khattab (ra) time.hijrat occurred in rabiul awwal but calender started from muharram.in fact it was the rule of those times to ascribe the year to the most major event that occurred in it for eg year of fath,year of hubaibiya etc .for this reason how could he have reveled the hijri year?after revealing the day etc can a person who knows so many detailed signs not have knowledge of its occurrence?
The holy prophet ﷺ said allah sends an angel and tell him 4 things .this angel then writes (baby) deeds Death,sustenance and whether virtuous(good) or wretch. Thereafter the soul is blown in-mishkaat kitaabul imaan baabul imaan bil qadr.
allah wrote fates of the creations before the heaven and earth got created.
5 special ghaibs are recorded in the protected tablet (lawhe-mahfooz) .hence those angels who are appointed over it and similarly the prophets and saints whose vision can reach it also possess the knowledge of them.
Munkar and nakeer (2 angels of the grave )say to the deceased who either successfully or unsuccessfully go through their questioing ‘we knew prior to this that you will answer so”-mishkaat baabu azaabil qabr.
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)
