Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, do the people of the Sunnah attribute a newly occurring knowledge to Allah the Exalted, just as they attribute newly occurring attributes of type, such as speech? Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is All-Knowing with His eternal knowledge, and He knows what occurs at the time of its occurrence. He knows with His eternal knowledge that it will occur, and He also knows it when it occurs, which is what they call the knowledge of manifestation.

Answer:
When it occurs, yes.
