the prophet muhammad (saas) - Prophet Muhammad (SAW) for All

every individual, country, building and piece of furniture, is known to Allah. This is how the Prophet (saas)
was told to explain that knowledge of the invisible (ilm-ul-ghaib) lies solely with Allah:
Say: "Allah knows best how long they stayed. The Unseen of the heavens and the earth belongs to
Him. How perfectly He sees, how well He hears! They have no protector apart from Him. Nor does He
share His rule with anyone." (Surat al-Kahf: 26)
Say: "No one in the heavens and the earth knows the Unseen except Allah." They are not aware of
when they will be raised. (Surat an-Naml: 65)
Say: "My Lord hurls forth the Truth—the Knower of all unseen things." (Surah Saba': 48)
In the Qur'an, the Prophet (saas) is commanded thus:
Say: "I possess no power to help or harm myself, except as Allah wills. If I had had knowledge of
the Unseen, I would have sought to gain much good and no evil would have touched me. I am only a
warner and a bringer of good news to people who believe." (Surat al-A'raf: 188)
The Prophet (saas) reminded people
that Allah heard even their most secret conversations
Some people think that when they intend to do something wrong, or plan a wicked act with others of
like-mind, or gossip, they can conceal it from others. However, Allah knows everything an individual thinks,
what enters his mind, what two people whisper to each other, and everything in heaven and earth. He
witnesses everything a person does. Every individual will have to offer account in the hereafter for
everything he thought he had done or said in secret. That person may perhaps forget those words full of
wickedness, but Allah will place everything he has forgotten before him on the Day of Judgment.
The Prophet (saas) also drew attention to that fact, and warned people they would have to give
account of themselves. These are some of the verses on the subject:
Say, "Whether you conceal what is in your breasts or make it known, Allah knows it. He knows
what is in the heavens and what is on earth. Allah has power over all things." (Surah Al 'Imran: 29)
Say: "Allah is a sufficient witness between me and you. He is certainly aware of and sees His
servants." (Surat al-Isra': 96)
If they turn their backs, then say: "I have informed all of you equally and I do not know if what you
have been promised is near or far. He knows what is said openly and He knows what you hide." (Surat al-
Anbiya': 109-110)
