                               The word "ghaib" in the Qur'an is used for hidden things that man
                         cannot see or know. Things that will happen in the future are unknown
                         to us, for instance. Yet everything to do with the future, the future of
                         every individual, country, building and piece of furniture, is known to
                         Allah. This is how the Prophet (saas) was told to explain that knowledge
                         of the invisible (ilm-ul-ghaib) lies solely with Allah:

                         from others. However, Allah knows everything an individual thinks,
                                     what enters his mind, what two people whisper to
                                         each other, and everything in heaven and
                                          earth. He witnesses everything a person
