The Shaking of Allāh’s Throne
Knowledge of the unseen is extremely vast, and Allāh, The All Knowledgeable, may occasionally choose to reveal some of it to some of His Prophets and Messengers who may then relay it to us. Allāh said about Himself:
عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا ﴿٢٦﴾ إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَىٰ مِن رَّسُولٍ
“He is the Knower of the unseen. He only discloses it to selected Messengers.”
[al-Jinn, 72:26-27]
Believing in any revealed knowledge of the unseen then becomes a part of faith.
