190            GENERAL KNOWLEDGE FROM THE QUR'AN


                 If you call on them they will not hear your call, and were they to
               hear, they would not respond to you. On the Day of Rising they will re-
               ject your making associates of them. No one can inform you like One
               Who is All-aware. (Surah Fatir, 14)


                 THE MOTHER OF THE BOOK (LAWH MAHFUZ): THE
                 CLEAR BOOK IN WHICH EVERYTHING IS RECORDED
                 It is indeed a Glorious Qur'an preserved on a Tablet. (Surat al-Buruj,
               21-22)


                 ALLAH REVEALS THE NEWS
                 OF THE UNSEEN TO WHOM HE WILLS
                 That is some of the news of the Unseen which We reveal to you. Nei-
               ther you nor your people knew it before this time. So be steadfast. The
               best end result is for those who guard against evil. (Surah Hud, 49)
                 If you call on them they will not hear your call, and were they to
               hear, they would not respond to you. On the Day of Rising they will re-
               ject your making associates of them. No one can inform you like One
               Who is All-aware. (Surah Fatir, 14)
                 This is news of the Unseen which We reveal to you. You were not
               with them when they decided what to do and devised their scheme.
               (Surah Yusuf, 102)
                 This is news from the Unseen which We reveal to you. You were not
               with them when they cast their reeds to see which of them would be
               the guardian of Maryam. You were not with them when they quar-
               relled. (Surah Al 'Imran, 44)


                 NEWS THAT ALLAH GIVES IN THE QUR'AN
                 ABOUT THE COMPANIONS OF THE CAVE
                 That was the situation when we woke them up so they could ques-
               tion one another. One of them asked, 'How long have you been here?'
               They replied, 'We have been here for a day or part of a day.' They said,
               'Your Lord knows best how long you have been here. Send one of your
