2:255 - Allah! there is no Allah but He the living the Self-subsisting Eternal. No slumber can seize
him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in
His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to his creatures as)
before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of his knowledge except as He
willeth. His throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth and He feeleth no fatigue in
guarding and preserving them. For He is the Most High the Supreme (in glory). 296297298259

3:66 - Ah! ye are those who fell to disputing (even) in matters of which ye had some knowledge!
but why dispute ye in matters of which ye have no knowledge? It is Allah Who knows and ye
who know not! 403
403 The number of sects among the Jews and Christians shows that they wrangled and disputed even about some of the
matters of their own religion, of which they should have had some knowledge. But when they talk of Father Abraham,
they are entirely out of court, as he lived before their peculiar systems were evolved. (3.66)
3:71 - Ye People of the Book! Why do ye clothe truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while ye
have knowledge? 405
405 There are many ways of preventing the access of people to the truth. One is to tamper with it, or trick it out in colours
of falsehood: haf-truths are often more dangerous than obvious falsehoods. Another is to conceal it altogether. Those
who are jealous of a prophet of Allah, whom they actually see before them, do not allow his credentials or virtues to be
known, or vilify him, or conceal facts which would attract people to him. When people do this of set purpose, against
their own light ("of which ye are yourselves witnesses"), they are descending to the lowest depths of degradation, and
they are doing more harm to themselves than to anyone else. (3.71)
3:179 - 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 Apostles (for the purpose) whom He pleases. So believe in Allah and His Apostles: and
if ye believe and do right ye have a reward without measure. 481482
481 The testing of good men by calamities and evil men by leaving them in the enjoyment of good things is part of the
trials of Allah, in which some freedom of choice is left to man. The psychological and subjective test is unfailing, and
the separation is effected partly by the operation of the human wills, to which some freedom is allowed. But it must be
effected, if only in the interests of the good. (3.179)
482 Man in his weak state would be most miserable if he could see the secrets of the Future or the secrets of the Unseen.
But things are revealed to him from time to time as may be expedient for him, by Messengers chosen for the purpose.
Our duty is to hold fast by faith and lead a good life. (3.179)
4:166 - And yet among men there are such as dispute about Allah without knowledge and follow
every evil one obstinate in rebellion!
5:104 - When it is said to them: "Come to what Allah hath revealed; come to the Apostle": they say:
"Enough for us are the ways we found our fathers following." What! even though their fathers
were void of knowledge and guidance? 810
810 Cf. ii. 170. Where a Messenger of Truth comes to teach us the better way, it is foolish to say:
"What our ancestors did is good enough for us." (5.104)
5:109 - One day will Allah gather the apostles together and ask: "What was the response ye
received (from men to your teaching)? They will say: "We have no knowledge: it is thou who
knowest in full all that is hidden. 814
814 A scene of the Day of Reckoning is put before us in graphic words, showing the responsibility and the limitations of
the Prophets of Allah, sent to preach His Message to men, with special reference to the Message of Jesus. The
Messengers are sent to preach the Truth. What fantastic forms the Message takes in men's reactions to it was beyond
their knowledge, at the time, and beyond their responsibility. (5.109)
6:50 - Say: "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? 867868
867 Literally it might mean that the men of God are not like vulgar soothsayers, who pretend to reveal hidden treasures, or
peer into future, or claim to be something of a different nature from men. But the meaning is wider: They deal out
God's great treasures of truth, but the treasures are not theirs, but God's; they have greater insight into the higher
things, but that insight is not due to their own wisdom, but to God's inspiration; they are of the same flesh and blood
