The Unseen


The Unseen

Qur’aanic Verse 27:65:

27:65

Transliteration:

65. Qul la yaAAlamu man fee alssamawati waal-ardi alghayba illa Allahu wama yashAAuroona ayyana yubAAathoona

Translation:

65. Say, “None in the heavens or on earth knows the Unseen13 save Allah!” And they know not when they shall be raised from the dead.

Study Note:

13. Knowledge of the Unseen (Al-Ghayb) is the exclusive prerogative of Allah Almighty. [Refer study note 3 of Chapter 2 (Manzil I)]. This is a fundamental belief in Islam. And yet, the Imam of the Masjid I go to for my Friday prayers harangues his gullible congregation with repeated blasphemy that Prophet Muhammad (peace on him) knows the Unseen besides Allah! Not only the Prophet, the Imam asserts, but awliyaAllahtoo know the Unseen!! How would Allah lend a helping hand to such ‘Muslims’ who so openly defy His Word!?
