has its own particular destiny. Even before the
first human being had been created, all the de-
tails of what each person would experience in
the future, the events to be witnessed by every

nation, the stages every society would go
through, and the like, had all been established in
the sight of Allah. Yet, people do not know any of
these details that have been established, lived
through, or done with in the sight of Allah. They only see and come to
know them as they experience them. The future is thus unknown to us.

servants information about the unknown in the Qur'an. One such factor

companions of the proofs of the existence of Allah:
