Children of Israel Cursed Upon Tongue of David (5:78)

 بِسۡمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِیۡمِ

In the Name of Allah, the Rahman, the Merciful

الصلاة والسلام عليك يا سيدي يا رسول الله

Salutations and peace upon you, my master, Apostle of Allah

Allah, holy and exalted is He, says:

لُعِنَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡا مِنۡۢ بَنِیۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِیۡلَ عَلٰی لِسَانِ دَاوٗدَ وَعِیۡسَی ابۡنِ مَرۡیَمَ ؕ ذٰلِکَ بِمَا عَصَوۡا وَّکَانُوۡا یَعۡتَدُوۡنَ

Cursed were those who disbelieved from the children of Israel upon the tongue of David and Jesus son of Mary. That is because they disobeyed and used to transgress

(Surah 5, Ayah 78)

As for King David, refer to Psalm 37 for his curse upon the Israelites: "And they that be cursed of him shall be cut off" (Psalm 37:22).

Psalm 37 is special for it is quoted elsewhere in the Holy Quran:

وَلَقَدۡ کَتَبۡنَا فِی الزَّبُوۡرِ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ الذِّکۡرِ اَنَّ الۡاَرۡضَ یَرِثُہَا عِبَادِیَ الصّٰلِحُوۡنَ

And We have written in the Zabur from after the Reminder that the Earth—it shall be inherited by My righteous servants

(Surah 21, Ayah 105)

This is clearly a reference to "but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth" (Psalm 37:9), "But the meek shall inherit the earth" (Psalm 37:11), "For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth" (Psalm 37:22), "the righteous shall inherit the land" (Psalm 37:29). It is particularly this Psalm that I have quoted last that is being directly cited in the Holy Quran

צַדִּיקִ֥ים יִֽירְשׁוּ־אָ֑רֶץ

Saddiqim yireshu ares

The righteous will inherit the land

From this we can reasonably conclude that Psalm 37 is truly a Psalm of David and an original inspiration to King David by God Himself.

Elsewhere, David expresses his anger and resentment and invokes God against his enemies: "Fight against them that fight against me" (Psalm 35:1), "Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them. Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them. For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul. Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall" (Psalm 35:4-8), "Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me" (Psalm 35:26), "Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues" (Psalm 55:9), "Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them" (Psalm 55:15), "Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents" (Psalm 69:24-25), "Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous" (Psalm 69:27-28), "Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonour that seek my hurt" (Psalm 71:13), "Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle" (Psalm 109:29). This is but a glimpse into the Psalms of David in which he invokes God against his enemies who are his own people, the Israelites that troubled him and falsely accused him, conspired against him or sought to kill him. All these Psalms in which David cried out to God to pour out His wrath against these enemies have been summarized in the Quran with the words "Cursed were those who disbelieved from the Children of Israel upon the tongue of David".

Angel Gabriel Appearing to Prophet Muhammad at the Mountain

 بِسۡمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِیۡمِ

In the Name of Allah, the Rahman, the Merciful

الصلاة والسلام عليك يا سيدي يا رسول الله

Salutations and peace upon you, my master, Apostle of Allah


Only two Angels are mentioned in the Bible by name, and they are the Archangels Gabriel and Michael. In the Old Testament, they are only mentioned by name in the Book of Daniel. In the New Testament, the Angel Gabriel appeared to both Zechariah and the virgin Mary, as mentioned in the first chapter of the Gospel according to Luke, while the Angel Michael is mentioned in the Book of Revelation as the general who led the Angelic forces in battle against Satan and his minions, driving them out of Heaven. These two Archangels are mentioned by name in the Holy Quran too, for instance:

مَن كَانَ عَدُوًّا لِّلَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَجِبْرِيلَ وَمِيكَالَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَدُوٌّ لِّلْكَافِرِينَ

Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His Angels and His Apostles and Gabriel and Michael—then indeed, Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers

(Surah 2, Ayah 98)


It is not a coincidence that these two Angels which alone are mentioned by name in the Bible are the two principal Angels in Islam too. They are strongly associated with the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, during his prophetic ministry. They could be seen fighting on his right and on his left in battle, often clothed in pure white garments, looking radiant and majestic. When invoking Allah, the Prophet would often refer to Him as the "Lord of Gabriel and Michael".


But the antichrist and false prophet Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, however, claimed to receive revelations, visions and visitations of Angels with strange names through which we come to know that he was a liar, and that those were not true Angels. Mirza spoke of Angels allegedly named "Tichi Tichi", "Darshani", "Khairati", "Mithan Lal" and "Sher Ali".


According to the Bible, when Jesus was led into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil, "Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone" (Matthew 4:5-6; Luke 4:9-11).


This is quite similar to what reportedly happened to the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him:

ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنْشَبْ وَرَقَةُ أَنْ تُوُفِّيَ وَفَتَرَ الْوَحْىُ فَتْرَةً حَتَّى حَزِنَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِيمَا بَلَغَنَا حُزْنًا غَدَا مِنْهُ مِرَارًا كَىْ يَتَرَدَّى مِنْ رُءُوسِ شَوَاهِقِ الْجِبَالِ فَكُلَّمَا أَوْفَى بِذِرْوَةِ جَبَلٍ لِكَىْ يُلْقِيَ مِنْهُ نَفْسَهُ تَبَدَّى لَهُ جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حَقًّا فَيَسْكُنُ لِذَلِكَ جَأْشُهُ وَتَقِرُّ نَفْسُهُ فَيَرْجِعُ فَإِذَا طَالَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَتْرَةُ الْوَحْىِ غَدَا لِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ فَإِذَا أَوْفَى بِذِرْوَةِ جَبَلٍ تَبَدَّى لَهُ جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ

Then, not long after Waraqah died, and the revelation ceased for a period, until the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, became so distressed, as we have been told, that he repeatedly considered throwing himself from the mountain peaks. Each time he reached the summit of a mountain to throw himself off, Gabriel would appear to him and say, "O Muhammad, you are truly the Messenger of God," and his heart would be calmed and his soul would find peace. Then he would return, and if the period of revelation had been long for him, he would go again the next day for the same purpose. When he reached the summit of a mountain, Gabriel would appear to him and say the same thing to him (Sahih al-Bukhari)


Although the Devil was trying to convince our Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, to throw himself from the cliff of the mountain, he never did so as the Angel Gabriel would appear to him and reassure him.


Some people have objected to this account, saying it is not possible that the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, could ever intend to commit suicide. While their objection bears merit, especially considering that it is in fact the irsal of Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri and not the narration of Umm al-Mu'minin A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her.


Yet I do not necessarily find the story objectionable since it says that the Prophet, peace be upon him, did not throw himself from the mountain, but like Jesus was merely tempted to do so, a temptation he successfully resisted. 


And the story states that the Angel Gabriel would appear to the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, when he reached the summit of the mountain, and would reassure him by saying "O Muhammad! You are truly the Messenger of Allah".


If the story is true, and there is a likelihood it is, I understand it to mean that during long pauses in the revelation, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, desirous to see the Angel, would climb the summit of the mountain but in reality he had no intention of committing suicide as he knew the Angel would appear to him, and surely he did appear to him. And Allah and His Apostle know best!

Downfall of Abdullah Hashem and AROPL

 بِسۡمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِیۡمِ

In the Name of Allah, the Rahman, the Merciful

الصلاة والسلام عليك يا سيدي يا رسول الله

Salutations and peace upon you, my master, Apostle of Allah


We Muslims rejoice at the arrest of the cursed antichrist known as Abdullah Hashem or Aba al-Sadiq, which happened on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, in the town of Crewe in the United Kingdom.


He along with several of his followers were charged with sexual abuse, forced marriage and modern slavery. Abdullah Hashem founded a new religion dubbed the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light, or AROPL.


Crewe is the site of Webb House, a large compound that was formerly an orphanage and was purchased by this cult as their new headquarters and a place for their communal living. There were reportedly about 150 cult members, including women and children, living at Webb House along with Abdullah Hashem. 


The raid conducted by the police to detain Abdullah Hashem and some of his high ranking followers involved some five hundred police officers, and was based on information provided by a woman who was formerly a member of this cult. There are allegations of rape and child sexual abuse against this cult and it's diabolical leader, which will surely be tested in court. Hopefully justice prevails and through convictions this cult extinguishes rapidly.

The Antichrist Ahmad al-Hasan ("Yamani")


The Antichrist Abdullah Hashem (Aba al-Sadiq)


Its origin lies in Iraq with an individual known as Ahmad al-Hasan who claimed to be an eschatological figure called the Yamani. Apparently, this individual has died, but some of his followers are running an office and movement in his name based in Najaf, Iraq. Abdullah Hashem and his group also claim Ahmad al-Hasan and condemn their rivals in Najaf.


The so-called Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light may be characterized as heavily influenced by past heresies of various Ghali Shi'ite heresiarchs. Abdullah Hashem glazes the likes of the Yemenite Jew who feigned Islam in order to sabotage it from within, namely, Abdullah bin Saba. He also praised Abul-Khattab al-Asadi, who claimed to be a prophet of Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq, whom he declared God incarnate, and Muhammad bin Nusayr, founder of the so-called Alawite sect which believe, as Ibn Saba taught, that Ali bin Abi Talib, radi Allahu anhu, is God incarnate!


Abdullah Hashem teaches that the heresiarch Abul-Khattab is an incarnation of the ninth Mahdi (The Goal of the Wise, p.164), and that Muhammad bin Nusayr is an incarnation of the third Mahdi (ibid, p.163).


According to Abdullah Hashem, Ibn Saba did teach that Ali al-Murtada, radi Allahu anhu, is God incarnate and for this reason Mawla Ali, radi Allahu anhu, ordered his execution by means of being thrown in a blazing ditch. Abdullah Hashem says that when the verdict of being burnt alive was passed against Ibn Saba he began to jump up and down out of excitement, for in his mind it served as a signal that Ali radi Allahu anhu considered himself God, for only the Lord of fire is authorized to punish humans with fire!


Like Ibn Saba, the Egyptian Abdullah Hashem went to Egypt to stir dissension in that country against the government. Abdullah Hashem mentions at the beginning of his book, the Mahdi's Manifesto, that he participated in the Arab Spring protests that resulted in the overthrowing of President Hosni Mubarak in 2011.


Abdullah Hashem was also a filmmaker who helped produce a documentary called the Arrivals. He apparently investigated cults before he decided to start his own, having learned the ins and outs of how a cult should properly function in order to attract a following.


The basic heresy of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light, after its gross idolatry and polytheism, can be summarized in their teaching of a "seventh covenant" which abrogates the Shari'ah of the Holy Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم.


Abdullah Hashem attributes the announcement and details of this covenant from what was conveyed to him by Ahmad al-Hasan the "Yamani".


These "Ahmadis" believe that the following were true prophets of God: "1. Buddha 2. Krishna 3. Confucius 4. Lao Tzu 5. Zeus 6. Osiris 7. Socrates 8. Aristotle 9. Plato 10. Alexander the Great 11. Mani 12. Pythagoras 13. Saint Augustine 14. Arnobius of Sicca 15. Plotinus 16. Ammonius Saccas 17. King Artaxerxes 18. Odin 19. Donatus Magnus 20. Cyrus the Great 21. Zoroaster 22. King Philip of Macedonia 23. Al-Lat 24. Al-Uzza 25. Manat 26. Arjuna 27. Horus 28. Obaid Al-Haddad of Iraq 29. Heem of Iraq 30. Adrahan of Iraq 31. Ozra Ouri of Iraq 32. Abdel Malik of Iraq 33. Theodosius II 34. Darius 35. Amid of Egypt" (The Goal of the Wise, pp.108-109)


As you can see, the AROPL cult consider many false gods and idols, from ancient Egyptian, Greek, Hindu and Norse mythology and even the pagan Arab idols of Lat, Uzza and Manat to have been prophets of God! Abdullah Hashem says, "This means that every religion from the ancient Egyptian mystery religions to the ancient Greek religions to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Manichaeism are all based on true revelations from God" (ibid, p.109).


Yet he falsifies Islam by attributing the following statement to Ahmad al-Hasan "ninety-nine percent of religion is wrong, not ninety-nine percent of all religions, ninety-nine percent of each religion, even Islam." (Ibid, p.110)


Abdullah Hashem and his cult are therefore clearly not Muslim and have nothing to do with Islam, as he himself confesses, "A new Islam means that the Islam that the Riser/Qaim brings shall be almost entirely different than the Islam that Mohammed (PBUH & His Family) came with and the Islam that is currently practiced today. Essentially, it is a new religion." (Ibid, p.113)


This blasphemous and satanic "Seventh Covenant" apparently begins with the destruction of the Mosques and Mausoleums of the Muslims, "the Riser/Qaim shall command that the mosques and mausoleums of the Muslims all be demolished…It will appear to the people that the Qaim/Riser is trying to erase the religion of Islam." (Ibid)


The sacrilege gets worse, as according to Abdullah Hashem, the Qaim, whom he identifies as himself, has been tasked with destroying the sacred Ka'bah itself and even the grave of the Holy Prophet!

"Not only does the Qaim/Riser destroy the Kaaba itself and the ‘Grand Mosque of Mecca’, he also heads to Medina to destroy the Mosque and grave of the Prophet of Allah (PBUH & His

Family)." (Ibid, p.114)


What other comment can I make except to say that may Allah curse this pig, undoubtedly the son of a pig, named Abdullah Hashem.


Once again my thesis that these heretical groups pose a danger to the physical security of the Muslims is proven true. They claim theirs is a religion of "peace and light" but in reality it seeks to destroy our sacred shrines, mosques and even the very grave of the Holy Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, the holiest and most sacred place in the entire universe! I have no doubt that Abdullah Hashem is a rapist and child molester and he is about to be exposed as such to the whole world in a court of law.


Another heresy of this "Seventh Covenant" and so-called Ahmadi cult is the belief that we Muslims have a false Ka'bah and that the true Ka'bah is in Petra, Jordan (ibid, p.115).


This ridiculous idea was first proposed by Dan Gibson on the basis that some early mosques face in the direction of Petra rather than Mecca and so that must have been the original Qiblah!

In other words, a mere human error in constructing mosques at a time when the compass was not yet invented is sufficient to dismiss the mountains of evidence for conspiracy theory meant purely for sensationalism and publicity. Even the secular historians and experts on Islamic history dismiss Dan Gibson's claims as outlandish and worthless, especially since it conveniently ignores many other early mosques that are oriented toward Mecca.


The "Seventh Covenant" abolishes the traditional lunar calendar of the Muslims and claims that the original calendar is solar. The cult teaches that Ramadan corresponds to December and Dhul-Hijjah to September. Even if some of the names of these months correspond to a certain season, such as Rabi al-Awwal and Rabi al-Thani, or Ramadan which means something like intense heat, it may indicate that the Arabs had a lunisolar calendar with intercalary month or months prior to Islam. But the Islamic Shari'ah certainly institutes a purely lunar calendar, which the cult has abrogated, thus confirming its departure from the Ummah. This illustrates the extreme importance of the lunar calendar for the Ummah and how altering or changing it is heresy.


The modernist trend of our time that has replaced visible moon sighting with a calendar based on astronomical calculations is no small matter. It is a direct challenge to Islamic orthodoxy and the mainstream Sunni community. 


The Jews split into various sects on this matter. Although they follow a lunisolar calendar with an intercalary month added regularly every couple of years, the Karaites still stick to visible moon sighting to determine the beginning and ending of the month, while Rabbinic/Talmudic Jews and Samaritans have a fixed calendar based on astronomical calculation. The Qumran community in early antiquity associated with the Dead Sea Scrolls, however, followed a strictly solar calendar.


Thus Allah has given this Ummah through the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, a strictly lunar calendar, with the beginning and end of months based on visible moon sighting, to distinguish this Ummah from the others. Any departure from our calendar is essentially a departure from the Millah and the establishment of a new and separate community distinct from Muslims.


The "Ahmadi" cult of Abdullah Hashem fast in the month of December, and their fasting is different from ours as after sunset they refrain from eating any meat and any fruit whatsoever throughout the month, and also refrain from any sexual intercourse throughout the month, whereas our Shari'ah has permitted eating meat and fruit when breaking the fast at sunset, and likewise having intercourse with one's wife after sunset during Ramadan.


The "Ahmadi" cult of Abdullah Hashem has abolished another important institution in Islam, namely, the obligation for women to veil. Their "Seventh Covenant" permits women to unveil.

Permitting women to unveil is certainly opening the door to indecency, sexual immorality and corruption. This is blatantly obvious in the fact that now the cult leader and his high ranking aides were all arrested and charged with offenses of committing sexual abuse.


If any person comes along and introduces a teaching that seeks to loosen the Islamic laws regarding modesty and veiling, know that such a person is of the devil. Sikhism too criticized and abolished the Islamic injunction of veiling of women and gender segregation. From this we come to know that Sikhism is a satanic religion and not from God. The same may be said of the Baha'i cult, another satanic religion founded by a false prophet and apostate from Islam.


Abdullah Hashem, in the name of his satanic "Seventh Covenant" has also abolished the Islamic method of Salah, the five daily worship that consists of standing, bowing, and prostrating, invoking the same rationale as the Batinis (esotericists) who reinterpret the meaning of Salah. He says that Fajr means the wilayah of the (fictional) Twelfth Imam, Dhuhr is the wilayah of Ahmad al-Hasan (so-called "Yamani"), Asr is his own wilayah, while Maghrib and Isha refer to the wilayah of the succeeding "Mahdis" (ibid, p.119).


Given these major heresies and abolitions of basic Islamic laws, it is not surprising that the AROPL cult likewise abolishes the punishment for theft in Islam—cutting the hand of the thief, "The Riser/Qaim in the Seventh Covenant reveals corruptions in the Qur’an and the holy books and restores the truth in them. He abolishes certain medieval practices such as cutting off the hands of the thief in Islam. This archaic practice has nothing to do with the divine laws of God." (ibid, p.120)


More egregious than this, although again unsurprising, is the license to drink wine and get intoxicated: "The drinking of wine (sharab) is permissible in the Seventh Covenant as it was in pre-Mohammedan Covenants." (Ibid, p.121)


While not absolutely prohibited like in Islam, the religions of Judaism and many Christian churches do impose restrictions on drunkenness. Therefore, Abdullah Hashem is deceiving the people by claiming his license to drink wine without restriction is a restoration of its permissibility in "pre-Mohammedan Covenants". 


The Bible says, "Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder" (Proverbs 23:31-32), "And be not drunk with wine" (Ephesians 5:18), "Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God" (Galatians 5:21), "Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:10). For this reason, certain fundamentalist and independent Baptist churches have a prohibitionist position on any consumption of alcohol.


The cursed antichrist Abdullah Hashem argues that wine is not impure as there will be rivers of wine in Heaven which the Believers will drink and enjoy (The Goal of the Wise, p.121), conveniently ignoring the fact that the wine in Paradise will not have the intoxicating property and is therefore unlike the impure wine of this world that God has forbidden absolutely. It is quite evident the drunkard, rapist and child molester Abdullah Hashem has permitted wine for his own desire and lust, and that is sufficient to reject him and his cult as satanic.


The cursed antichrist Abdullah Hashem invites homosexuals, the so-called LGBTQ community, to join his cult, and says he completely welcomes, embraces and loves them! He says, "our religion and our congregations welcome homosexuals and people from all walks and ways of life." (Ibid, p.41)


Abdullah Hashem said, "We refuse to issue a fatwa to say that the very act even--I'm going to take it a little bit further today you know since this thing has been brought up way too much. I'm going to say that I'm going to refuse even to issue a verdict or fatwa that says that the very act of homosexuality it itself is haram. I'm not going to do that today because we in our faith, in our religion we believe that there were several covenants that have been established throughout history. We believe that every time a covenant takes place, a new covenant is established, the laws of the previous covenant were nullified, right, or a lot of them are nullified and new laws are established. And so you'll find things that were once impermissible becoming permissible and vice versa...so I think that there's much room to still discuss and there's still a lot that will be spoken about in terms of this particular topic and I think that it is wrong and it's not correct and I will not just put a blanket statement today or tomorrow that says that the act of homosexuality is impermissible full stop." 


So the homosexualist Abdullah Hashem, may he be cursed and may he be sent to Hell quickly, has been exposed and has been humiliated by our mighty God, the Lord of Heaven and Earth. 

Prophet has knowledge of everything that will happen till the Last Day

 بِسۡمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِیۡمِ

In the Name of Allah, the Rahman, the Merciful

الصلاة والسلام عليك يا سيدي يا رسول الله

Salutations and peace upon you, my master, Apostle of Allah

Definitionally, a Prophet is someone to whom Allah has revealed knowledge of the unseen [ilm al-ghayb]. Allah says:

عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا

Knower of the unseen; He does not manifest His unseen upon anyone

إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَىٰ مِن رَّسُولٍ

Except one He is pleased with of a Messenger

(Surah 72, Ayah 26 & 27)

وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُطْلِعَكُمْ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَجْتَبِي مِن رُّسُلِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ

And Allah does not inform you of the unseen; but He chooses of His Apostles whom He wishes

(Surah 3, Ayah 179)

The Holy Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم was granted knowledge of the unseen by Allah. No created being possesses knowledge of the unseen from its essence, but rather Allah grants knowledge of the unseen to whom He wishes—His Apostles. Therefore, the Prophet, peace be upon him, is not a knower of the unseen by his person, but rather possesses knowledge of the unseen as a gift from Allah. Wherever in the Holy Quran there is an apparent denial of the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم possessing knowledge of the unseen, it is with the meaning of him possessing knowledge of the unseen by means of his essence and not as a divine gift. It is impermissible to refer to the Prophet, peace be upon him, with the title عالم الغيب "Knower of the unseen" as this title is exclusively for Allah and as a term means the one who knows the unseen by means of His eternal essential attribute of knowledge. But it is certainly true that the Prophet, peace be upon him, possesses knowledge of the unseen. Commenting on the Ayah I quoted (Surah 3:179) Imam al-Maturidi says that knowledge of the unseen is one of the signs of the Prophet Muhammad's Risalah:

إذ علم الغيب آية من آيات رسالته

(Ta'wilat Ahl al-Sunnah, v.2, p.541)




Therefore, it is manifest heresy to deny that the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was given knowledge of the unseen and such denial is tantamount to denying his blessed prophethood.

It is heresy and kufr to believe the Prophet, peace be upon him, has knowledge equal to the knowledge of Allah. The knowledge of Allah is eternal and infinite. And it is heresy and kufr to believe that the Prophet knows everything Allah knows. To hold such heretical beliefs is shirk in the attributes of Allah [shirk fil-siffat]. But we Sunnis believe that after Allah, the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم possesses the most knowledge and is therefore the most knowledgable of the creation. So while the knowledge of the unseen possessed by the Prophet is ultimately finite, it is so vast and deep that the knowledge of all the creation combined is like a drop compared to the ocean that is the Prophet's knowledge. We Sunnis believe that Allah granted knowledge of everything from the beginning of creation (the first day) till the end of this world (the last day) to His beloved Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم.

Several Ahadith substantiate our doctrine that the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him, possesses all the knowledge of everything that happened and everything that shall happen ما كان وما يكون till Judgment Day.

Sayyidina Umar al-Faruq رضى الله عنه narrates:

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood among us and told us about the beginning of creation until the people of Paradise entered their abodes and the people of Hell entered their abodes. Whoever remembered it, remembered it, and whoever forgot it, forgot it (Sahih al-Bukhari)

Sayyidina Hudhaifah رضى الله عنه narrates:

أَخْبَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ

The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, informed me of what will happen till the establishment of the Hour (Sahih Muslim)

Sayyidina Buraid bin Abi Maryam, radi Allahu anhu, narrates:

ثُمَّ حَدَّثَنَا بِمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ

Then he [Prophet Muhammad] narrated to us whatever will happen till the establishment of the Hour (Sunan al-Nasa'i)

Sayyidina Ibn Abbas, radi Allahu anhuma, narrates a vision of the Prophet, sall Allahu alaihi wasallam, in which the Prophet saw his Lord in the best of forms. The Prophet, peace be upon him, said:

فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَىَّ حَتَّى وَجَدْتُ بَرْدَهَا بَيْنَ ثَدْيَىَّ أَوْ قَالَ فِي نَحْرِي فَعَلِمْتُ مَا فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ

"He (Allah) placed His hand between my shoulders until I felt its coolness in my chest," or he said, "in my throat, and I knew what is in the heavens and what is on the earth." (Jami al-Tirmidhi)

In summary we can say that Allah granted the knowledge of everything in Kingdom of the Heavens and the Earth, and everything that shall happen in it till Judgment Day to our Master the Holy Prophet Muhammad صلوات الله والسلام عليه
