The Wisdom Behind Revealing Some of the Unseen to the Messengers (peace be upon them)

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the wisdom behind revealing the unseen to the Messengers? And can Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) reveal some of the unseen to the awliya (close friends of Allah) as He reveals it to the Messengers?

Answer:
Allah reveals to His messengers some of the unseen for the sake of a prophetic miracle and proof of their prophethood, or for the benefit of the call to Allah the Exalted, to support the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As for anyone other than a messenger, no one is revealed to by Allah. Allah has restricted this: This is a restriction, so the awliya (close friends of Allah) are not revealed to regarding the unseen. Yes. However, some of Allah's servants and the awliya may have insight. This insight is not a claim of knowledge of the unseen; it is an insight by which they discern people. Yes.
