News
Of Unseen
One day Hazrate Sayyed-ena Hazrat-e-Sayyed-e-na Sheikh Auhad-ud-Deen
Kirmani and Hazrate Sayyed-e-na Sheikh Shahab-ud-Din Soharwardi were sitting in
one place, a boy (Sultan Shams-ud-Din Altamsh) passed from there, carrying a bow
and arrow. On seeing him Huzoor Gharib Nawaz said that, this child will become
the king of Delhi, and ultimately this was what happened, after a short period
of time he became the King of Delhi. The
word which came out of Your mouth finally did occur. When said during daylight
that it is night, night indeed did it became. Dear
Islamic Brethren! It is possible that Satan might put the deceiving thought in
someone's heart that the knowledge of the unseen is with Allah only, how did Khwaja
Gharib Nawaz give the news of the unseen? The entreaty to this is that no doubt
Allah is the one who has the knowledge of the unseen and the seen. His knowledge
of the unseen is His own and has been there since always, whereas the knowledge
of the unseen which the Prophets and the Saints have is given to them and was
not always with them. They have it from the time Allah gave them and have as much
as they were given. They do not have even the minimum without Him telling them.
It is possible that
someone might get this deceiving thought that when Allah revealed it then the
secret did not remain secret. The answer to this is mentioned ahead that the Quran
has stated the knowledge of the unseen of the Prophets is the knowledge of the
unseen. Now the knowledge of how much was given or revealed is with the Giver
and the receiver. It stated about the knowledge of the unseen of Divinely chosen
of all the Prophets and the Apostles: And he is not niggardly as to the disclosing
of unseen. On the basis of this Quranic verse it states in Khazin, 'It means that
the King of Madeenah receives the knowledge of the unseen so He does not hide
it from you but infact teaches you." It is learnt from this verse and its
commentary that Allah's Beloved, the one knowing hidden things teaches people
the knowledge of the unseen and it is obvious that the one who knows it, is the
one who teaches it. It states about the knowledge of the unseen of Is a that:
And tell to you whatever you eat and what you store in your houses. No Doubt,
in these things there is a great sign for you if you believe. Dear
Islamic Brethren! In the above verse Sayyed-ena Isa very clearly announces that
what ever you eat is revealed to me and whatever you save and keep at home is
also revealed. If this is not the knowledge of unseen then what is this? When
greatness of Hazrate Sayyed-e-na Isa is so grand then what about the greatness
of the master of Is a, the wonderful Mustafa? What is it that must have been left
hidden from him? He has with his eyes seen Allah who is the unseen of unseen. What
other hidden secret could remain hide from you When Allah did not hide His ownself
from you billions of durood on you. Anyway
Allah has given the knowledge of the unseen to the Prophets and surely to renounce
that the Prophets have this knowledge means the refusal to accept the above Quranic
verses. The greatness of the Prophets is very grand, and due to the bounty of
the Prophets even the Saints can give the news of the unseen. Hence Shaikh Abdul
Haq muhaddis Dehlavi has quoted Huzoor Ghouse-ul-Azam in AL-AKHBAAR-UL-AKHYAAR:
Had the shariah no prohibited me to speak I would have told you what you eat at
home and was kept there, I know the inside and outside of yours, because you are
like a glass in front of me. Hazrat-e-Maulana Roomi says in MASNAWI SHARIF: The
divine tablet is in front of the eyes of the Saints. Which is free from any error.
