In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 31 Surah
Luqman verse 34:
34 Verily the knowledge of the Hour is with Allah (Alone). It is He (Alone) Who sends down rain and He
(Alone) Who knows what is in the wombs. Nor
does anyone know what it is that he will earn on the morrow: nor does
anyone know in what land he is to die.
Verily with Allah is full knowledge and He is acquainted (with all
things)
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 72 Surah
Jinn verses 25-27:
25 Say (O Prophet (saws)): "I know not whether the (punishment)
which ye are promised is near or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant
term.
26 "He (Alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one
acquainted with His Mysteries
27 Except (what He Wills to) a Messenger
whom He has chosen.”
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 3 Surah
Ale-Imraan verse 179:
179 Allah will not leave the believers in the state in which ye are now
until He separates what is evil from what is good. Nor will He disclose to you the secrets
of the Unseen. But He chooses of His
Messengers (for the purpose) whom He pleases. So believe in Allah and His Messengers: and
if ye believe and do right ye have a reward without measure.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah
Anaam verses 59-60:
59 With Him Alone are the keys of the Unseen the treasures that none
Knows but He. He Alone Knows whatever
there is on the earth and in the sea. Not a leaf
doth fall but with His knowledge: there is not a grain in the darkness (or
depths) of the earth nor anything fresh or dry (green or withered) but is
(inscribed) in a Record Clear.
60 It is He Who doth take your souls by night and has knowledge of all
that ye have done by day. By day doth He
raise you up again; that a term appointed be fulfilled; in the end unto Him
will be your return then will He show you the truth of all that ye did.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 27 Surah
Naml verses 73-75:
73 But verily thy Lord is full of grace to mankind: yet most of them
are ungrateful.
74 And verily thy Lord Knows all that their hearts do hide as well as
all that they reveal.
75 Nor is there aught of the Unseen in heaven or earth but is
(recorded) in a Clear Record.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah
Anaam verse 73:
73 It is He Who created the heavens and the earth in true
(proportions): the day He Declares "Be" Behold! it is. His Word is the truth. His will be the dominion the day the trumpet
will be blown. He Alone Knows the
Unseen as well as that which is open.
For He is the Wise well acquainted (with all things).
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 9 Surah
Taubah verse 78:
78 Know they not that Allah doth know their secret (thoughts) and their
secret counsels and that Allah Alone Knows well all things unseen?
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 13 Surah
Raad verses 8-10:
8 Allah doth Knows what every female (womb) doth bear, by how much the
wombs fall short (of their time or number) or do exceed. Every single thing is before His Sight in
(due) proportion.
9 He Alone Knows the Unseen and that which is open: He is the Great the Most High.
10 It is the same (to Him) whether any of you conceal his speech or
declare it openly; whether he lie hid by night or walk freely by day.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 11 Surah
Hud verse 123:
123 To Allah Alone do belong the unseen (secrets) of the heavens and the
earth and to Him goeth back every affair (for
decision): then worship Him and put thy trust in Him: and thy Lord is not unmindful
of aught that ye do.
Not even the Noble Prophets of Allah ever claimed that
they had the knowledge of the future or the unseen, except that which Allah
Subhanah pleased to reveal to them by ‘wahi’ or inspiration.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah
Aaraaf verses 187-188:
187 They ask thee (O Prophet) about the (final) Hour, when will be its
appointed time? Say: "The knowledge
thereof is with my Lord (Alone): none but He can reveal as to when it will
occur. Heavy were its burden through the
heavens and the earth. Only all of a
sudden will it come to you. They ask thee as if thou wert eager in search
thereof: Say: "The knowledge thereof is with Allah (Alone) but most men
know not."
188 Say (Prophet (saws)): "I have no power over any good or harm to
myself except as Allah willeth. If
I had knowledge of the unseen I should have multiplied all good and no
evil should have touched me; I am but a warner and a bringer of glad tidings to
those who have faith."
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah
Anaam verses 48-51:
48 We send the Messengers only to give good news and to warn: so those
who believe and mend (their lives), upon them shall be no fear nor shall they
grieve.
49 But those who reject Our Signs, them shall our punishment touch for
that they ceased not from transgressing.
50 Say (O Prophet (saws)): "I tell you not that with me are
the treasures of Allah, nor do I know what is hidden, nor do I tell you
I am an Angel. I but follow what is
revealed to me." Say: "Can the
blind be held equal to the seeing?"
Will ye then consider not?
51 Give the warning to those in whose (hearts) is the fear that they
will be brought (to judgment) before their Lord: except for Him they will have
no protector nor intercessor: that they may guard (against evil).
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 6.378 Narrated by Masruq
I said to 'Aisha, "O Mother! Did Prophet
Muhammad (saws) see his Lord?"
Aisha said, "What you have said makes my hair stand on end! Know
that if somebody tells you one of the following three things, he is a liar:
Dear and beloved sister in Islam, know with total and
absolute conviction and confidence that anyone in creation who claims to know
even an iota of a part of what will happen in the future or in the unseen is no
more than a manifest and confirmed liar!!!
Allah Subhanah Alone has the knowledge of the seen and the unseen, the
past, the present, and the future, and whatever He Wills to make known of the
future, He makes it known through His Revealed Scriptures and His appointed
Messengers amongst mankind.
Anyone, and we reiterate absolutely anyone in creation who
claims to know or read the future of anyone is an absolute, manifest and
confirmed liar and not a word of such a sooth-sayer or future-teller is to be
believed in the least!
If anyone feels or believes that anyone other than Allah
Subhanah has knowledge of the future or the unseen, or has the power to look
into the future, etc……they would be guilty of sharing one of Allah’s Absolutely
Exclusive Attributes with one amongst His creation; and that would indeed be a
clear and manifest form of the heinous and unforgivable crime of ‘shirk’!
Allah
says in the Quran: Chapter 4 Surah An-Nisa Verse 48
’Shirk’ is the only sin that Allah does not forgive, and He forgives,
whomsoever He pleases, sins other than this.
For whosoever associates any other partner with Allah, does indeed forge
a big lie and commits the most heinous sin
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5 Surah
Maidah verse 72:
Whoever commits ‘shirk’. Allah shall forbid for
him Paradise, and Hell shall be his
abode. And for such wrong doers there will be no one
to help.
If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and
commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws),
one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any
other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be
assured of being led astray.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
