I'LM-I-GHAYB OF THE HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD (SALLAL LAAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM)

I'LM-I-GHAYB OF THE HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD (SALLAL LAAHU ALAIHI
WASALLAM)

The
Knowledge of the Unseen (I'lm-i-Ghayb) was also bestowed upon
the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). This
I'lm-i-Ghayb was, in essence, the most revealing and surpassing
miracle given to the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).

This
miracle, in it's totality and persuasiveness, surpassed all miracles
given to other Prophets taken together. More or less 124 000 Apostles
were raised at different periods of time with some specific knowledge
of the hidden realm, i.e. I'lm-i-Ghayb. But the Knowledge of the
Unseen bestowed upon the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
was limitless in scope and magnitude. This is to say that each
and every miracle in the nature of I'lm-i-Ghayb given to different
Prophets was also given to the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam).

The
Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) was the epitomic symbol
of all the previous Prophets in the past in respect of their qualitative
characteristics and quantum of knowledge and spiritual enlightenment.
Relating to this bestowment of knowledge and observation upon
the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam), the Holy Quran
says: "Allah has sent down to you O Prophet! the Book and
Wisdom and taught what you knew not. Great is the Grace of Allah
upon you." 28 In this virtuous essence the Quranic verse
asserts that after bestowment of this everlasting treasure of
knowledge now there remains no realm of knowledge and enlightenment
which is not in the grip of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam). This is what the Holy Quran describes as the "Fazl-i-Azim"
(The Great Grace) - whatever the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) was taught by way of knowledge was taught by Allah the
Almighty. 29

If the
teacher says to the pupil: I have taught you to read and you knew
nothing before this, then he is justified to make this claim and
there is nothing derogatory on his part to make such a claim;
it cannot be termed as insolence to degrade the student. But if
the student says to his teacher, you knew nothing and it was your
teacher who gave you knowledge, then though, this logic cannot
be denied. Nonetheless, it demonstrates that the student is guilty
of insolence and misbehaviour towards his teacher. Such an example
can hardly be traced in the annals of civilised behaviour.

Whatever
the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) knew was through
the knowledge bestowed upon him by Allah the Almighty. This being
the fact, if before imparting the knowledge through the Holy Quran,
Almighty Allah mentioned the state of the Holy Prophet (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam): "You knew nothing of the Book nor
of the Faith (Imaan)." 30; it is consonance with the Almighty
state of Divine Grandeur. It does not at all behove mortals like
us to utter such words in respect of the Holy Prophet (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam). This would be downright degrading and
insulting the high virtuous status of the Holy Prophet (sallal
laahu alaihi wasallam).

The
uncontroversial fact remains that Allah the Almighty granted the
I'lm-i-Ghayb to the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
and if anyone denies and suspects the veracity of this Divine
Truth, he is surely guilty of falsehood and diminishing the eminence
of Divine Favour. If there be such a one, he ought to be condemned
as a blasphemer, worthy of being expelled from the rank and file
of Muslimhood. The quality of a true Muslim is that he accepts
and believes as true each and every command of Almighty Allah
and acts upon it ungrudgingly and unreservedly and induces others
to do so.

The
Darbar (seat of pre-eminences) of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu
alaihi wasallam) is a grand Darbar surpassing the grandeur of
worldly kings and monarchs. It is an act of misbehaviour and misdemeanour
even to utter loud words in his august presence; such an act causes
the loss of other virtuous deeds of a Believer, forfeiting the
Divine Grace. There is a stern warning against those who slip
away slyly from his assembly without seeking his permission, this
amounts to misbehaviour. For them there is stern foreboding of
dire punishment on the day of Judgement. It is said: "Deem
not the summons of one Apostle among yourselves, like the summons
of one of you to another. Allah doth knows those of you who slip
away under shelter of some excuse; then those of you who slip
away under shelter of some excuse; then beware those who withstand
the Apostle's orders, lest some trial befell them or a grievous
penalty be inflicted on them." 31 We can guess what would
be the state of awe-inspiring grandeur of the Holy Company graced
by the Holy Presence of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) where even the slightest misdemeanour is caught up as
a misdeed inviting punishment from the providence.

The
companions of the Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)
used to sit in his presence in due respect holding their breaths
and not making any gestures to disturb the dignity of the assembly.
They would only utter respectful words like: "O Prophet of
Allah! May my parents be sacrificed at the alter of your dignity."
To every question put to them, their reply used to be, "Allah
and his Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) know better."
