Ilm e ghaib

“Say thou, (O Muhammad)! The Knowledge of Unseen belongeth unto Allah alone.”-10/20 See also 6/59; 2/33; 10/31.

These verses indicate that the Knowledge of Unseen belongs to Allah Ta’ala Alone. Nobody on his own has this knowledge nor can anybody possess this Divine Treasure. However, these verses have nowhere indicated Allah Ta’ala to say that He does not grant this Knowledge of Unseen to anybody.

“Allah Alone is the Knower of the Unseen. He never grants the Knowledge of his Ghayb to anyone but to His chosen Messengers and appoints guard before them and behind them.” (72/26-27). See 2/31; 2/251; 27/16; 21/74; 12/68; 12/96; 28/14.

The Holy Quran says that Allah Ta’ala taught His Beloved the Quran. He created Muhammad ﷺ the soul of the Mankind and taught him the knowledge of the past and the present.

“And taught you that which you knew not. And this is a great favour of Allah Ta’ala upon you.”

Allah Ta’ala showed Hazrat Adam (alaihis salaam) all His creatures in person and made him learn the things by their names. Allah Ta’ala taught him the names of those who would be in his generation and also taught him all the languages. Allah Ta’ala also taught him the Names of Angels and all human beings who would belong to his generation, and the names of animals and vegetation, and taught him to manufacture things, and taught him the names of the cities and towns, and trees, and the names of those whom He will create until Doomsday, and taught him the names of all the gifts in Paradise.

The fact that Allah Ta’ala has granted Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ the Knowledge of Unseen, can be explained in three dimensions:

1.He was given the Knowledge of the Unseen directly: 11:49, 12/102; 81/24.

2.He was given the Quran, which is the treasure house of the Knowledge of the Unseen: (5/15) See also 16/89; 12/111; 6/38; 27/75; 6/59.

3. He was sent as a witness. A witness can only be that person who is present at the place and time of happening and sees everything by himself. (48/8) 4/41; 73/15.
