fore-future In the Quran and Islam

[thamer]

· [God alone knows the fore-future]

Quoted from the book (An Hour with Ghosts) By Mohammed-Ali Hassan Al-Hilli
In addition, if you say that they (Saints Or any other person)know the unseen and the secret; therefore they know my intention and ask God to grant me my need; I answer you: none, but God alone, knows the forefuture; and neither any prophet nor any saint knows the forefuture; the indication of that is the word of God – be glorified – in the Quran 6: 50 addressing His noble Prophet:
قُل لاَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِندِي خَزَآئِنُ اللّهِ وَلا أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ وَلا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنِّي مَلَكٌ
The explanation:
(Say [O Mohammed, to these unbelievers]: "I tell you not that with me are the treasuries of [the mercy of] God [so that I can work miracles like those of Jesus who cured the congenitally-blind and the albino and revived the dead], nor that I know the Unknown, nor do I tell you that I am angel [like him, because Jesus was an angel that came down from heaven according to God's command, and entered in the body of the fetus inside Mary's womb.] ")

Moreover, God – be glorified – said in the Quran 7: 188
قُل لاَّ أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي نَفْعًا وَلاَ ضَرًّا إِلاَّ مَا شَاء اللّهُ وَلَوْ كُنتُ أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ لاَسْتَكْثَرْتُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَمَا مَسَّنِيَ السُّوءُ إِنْ أَنَاْ إِلاَّ نَذِيرٌ وَبَشِيرٌ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ
The explanation:
(Say [O Mohammed, to them]: "I cannot bring any profit, nor avert any hurt from myself, but only which God wills. Had I knowledge of the fore-future, I should have had abundance of wealth, and adversity would not have touched me. I am only a warner [against idolatry], and a bearer of good tidings [of Paradise] to a people believing.)

And God said in the Quran 11: 31, about what Noah said to his people
وَلاَ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِندِي خَزَآئِنُ اللّهِ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ وَلاَ أَقُولُ إِنِّي مَلَكٌ

The explanation:

("I do not say to you: "I possess the treasuries of God"; I know not the [knowledge of the] Fore-future; and I do not say: "I am an angel.")

In addition, God – be glorified – said in the Quran 27: 65, addressing His noble messenger:
قُل لَّا يَعْلَمُ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ الْغَيْبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ

The explanation:
(Say [O Mohammed]: "None in the heavens and the earth knows the fore-future except God; and they perceive not [about] when they shall [die and] be sent forth [from their bodies to the afterlife.]")

And God – be glorified – said in the Quran 34: 14, excluding genies or aliens from the knowledge of the fore-future:
تَبَيَّنَتِ الْجِنُّ أَن لَّوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ الْغَيْبَ مَا لَبِثُوا فِي الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِينِ

The explanation:
(It became clear [to people] that had the genies [or aliens] but known the fore-future they would not have stayed [in the prison] in the humiliating punishment.)

Moreover, God – be celebrated His praise – said in the Quran 6: 59
وَعِندَهُ مَفَاتِحُ الْغَيْبِ لاَ يَعْلَمُهَا إِلاَّ هُوَ
The explanation:
(And with Him is "the knowledge and the exposure" of the fore-future. None but He knows them.)
