HARUN YAHYA (ADNAN OKTAR)

          know what is in my self but I do not know what is in Your Self. You are
          the Knower of all unseen things" (Surat al-Ma'ida, 116), because many
          verses state that only Allah knows the Unseen. One such verse is as fol-
          lows:
             The keys of the Unseen are in His possession. No one knows
             them but Him. He knows everything in the land and sea. No leaf
             falls without His knowing it. There is no seed in the darkness of
             the ground, and nothing moist or dry, which is not in a Clear
             Book. (Surat al-An`am, 59)
             In these types of arguments, people's views usually are based upon
          hearsay. Obviously, there is no point in listening to arguments based
          solely upon conjecture and ignorance. As "Do not pursue what you have
          no knowledge of. Hearing, sight and hearts will all be questioned"
          (Surat al-Isra', 36) makes clear, people should avoid any talk based upon
          hearsay.
             "Those who know about them are very few" also indicates that a few
          people could have this knowledge. For instance, one such person could be
          Khidhr (as), whose miraculous circumstances we will explore shortly. It is
          also possible that Khidhr's disciples might have this knowledge, with
          Allah's will and revelation. The Qur'an reveals that Allah reveals some of
          the Unseen to His Messengers.
             He is the Knower of the Unseen, and does not divulge His

             Unseen to anyone—except a Messenger with whom He is well
             pleased, and then He posts sentinels before him and behind him.
             (Surat al-Jinn, 26-27)
             Allah revealed some knowledge of the Unseen to our Prophet (saas)
          and then told him that:
             This is news of the Unseen that We reveal to you [O Muhammad].
             You were not with them when they decided what to do and de-
             vised their scheme. (Surah Yusuf, 102)
             Allah informed Prophet Nuh (as) about some of the future events that
          he would experience:
