source of the Message and the one addressed. The Message was not merely an abstract proposition of philosophy,
but the direct concrete message of a personal Allah to the creatures whom He loves and cherishes. "Thy" addressed
to the Prophet is appropriate in two ways: (1) he was in direct contact with the divine Messenger (Gabriel) and Him
Who sent the Messenger; (2) he represented the whole of humanity, in a fuller sense than that in which Christ Jesus
is the "Son of Man". (96.1)
22:70 - Knowest thou not that Allah knows all that is in heaven and on earth? Indeed it is all in a
record and that is easy for Allah. 2851
2851 We human beings can only think of knowledge being accurately and permanently preserved by means of a record.
Allah's knowledge has all the qualities of a perfect record, and it is moreover complete and comprehensive. This is not
difficult for Him from whom flow all knowledge and intelligence. (22.70)
27:15 - We gave (in the past) knowledge to David and Solomon: and they both said: "Praise be to
Allah Who has favored us above many of His servants who believe!" 32523253
3252 Cf. xxi. 78-82. "Knowledge" means such knowledge as leads up to the higher things in life, the Wisdom that was
shown in their decisions and judgments, and the understanding that enabled them to fulfil their mission in life. They
were both just men and prophets of Allah. The Bible, as we have it, is inconsistent: on the one hand it calls David "a
man after God's own heart" (I Samuel, xiii. 14, and Acts xiii. 22); and the Christians acclaim Christ as a son of David;
but on the other hand, horrible crimes are ascribed to him, which, if he had committed them, would make him a
monster of cruelty and injustice. About Solomon, too, while he is described as a glorious king, there are stories of his
lapses into sin and idolatry. The Muslim teaching considers them both to be men of piety and wisdom, and high in
spiritual knowledge. (27.15)
3253 They ascribed, as was proper, their knowledge, wisdom, and power to the only true Source of all good, Allah. (27.15)
40:2 - The revelation of this Book is from Allah Exalted in Power Full of Knowledge 4357
4357 This verse is the same as xxxix: 1, except for the last words describing the attribute of Allah. In S. xxxix. 1, it was "Full
of Wisdom", because stress was laid on the wisdom of Allah's Plan in ordering His World. In this Sura the stress is laid
on Allah's Knowledge, before which the shallow knowledge of men is vain (xi. 83). (40.2)
40:7 - Those who sustain the Throne (of Allah) and those around it sing Glory and Praise to their
Lord; believe in Him; and implore forgiveness for those who believe: "Our Lord! Thy reach is
over all things in Mercy and Knowledge. Forgive then those who turn in repentance and
follow Thy Path: and preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire! 43654366
41:47 - To Him is referred the Knowledge of the Hour (of Judgment: He knows all): no date-fruit
comes out of its sheath nor does a female conceive (within her womb) nor bring forth (young)
but by His Knowledge. The Day that (Allah) will propound to them the (question) "Where are
the partners (ye attributed) to Me?" They will say "We do assure thee not one of us can bear
witness!" 45194520
4519 There are profound mysteries which the knowledge of man cannot fathom but which are all open knowledge to Allah,
because He plans, guides and controls all things. The precise time of the Hour of Judgment is one of these. We are
not to dispute about matters like these, which are matters of speculation as far as human intelligence is concerned.
Such speculations ruined the Ummat of Moses, and set them on the arid path of doubts and controversies. Our task is
to do our duty and love Allah and man (see the last two verses). Cf. also xxi. 4. (41.47)
4520 When the final restoration of true values comes, all falsehood will be exposed openly and publicly. The false gods will
vanish, and their falsehood will be acknowledged by those who had lapsed from true worship. But it will be too late
then for repentance. (41.47)
