AHYA Multi-Media - QSEP

Messenger of Allah could neither be communicated with nor
could he be sought for guidance.
Conclusion
“Allah will not leave the believers in this state in which you are
not, until He distinguishes the wicked from good. Nor will
Allah disclose to you the secrets of the Unseen but Allah
chooses Messengers whom He wills.” 536
Allah Alone is the Knower of the Unseen. He grants some of this
Knowledge to His Messengers who are the conveyer of glad
tidings, and warners of Allah’s Punishment. The Sahabah
contended themselves to the clear and accurate information that
they received about the issues of the Unseen from Allah’s
Messenger . It was for disbelievers like sorcerers and fortunetellers
to seek after the Ghayb using corrupt means and trying to
futilely predict the future, inquire of hidden events, and unravel
the secrets of the hearts. But what they acquired was not even
close to the knowledge given by the Messenger, and was nothing
more than conjecture, confusion and lies. As in the story of Ibn
Saiyad, when Allah’s Messenger said to him, “I am concealing
something from you.” Ibn Saiyad replied that it was ad-Dhukh
(the smoke).” The Messenger of Allah rebuked him saying: “Be
off with you. You cannot get further than your rank.” 537
Whilst the Messenger of Allah was concealing the verse of the
Qur’aan, [of Soorah ad-Dhukhan (44): 10], all Ibn Saiyad could
say was smoke. This shows that even if one tries with the help of
the Shayateen to find out the secrets of the heart, he will be far
away from the truth.
The Messenger of Allah did not hide the knowledge given to
him, nor did he disclose it only to ‘the chosen few ones.’ 538 With

Abee Talib when a man came to him and asked, “What private
information did the Prophet give to you?” So, he became angry
