The ruling on one who claims knowledge of the unseen

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We move on to another questioner who says: What is the ruling on one who claims knowledge of the unseen, and is it possible for the explicit text of the Noble Qur'an to contradict reality?

Answer:
The one who claims knowledge of the unseen is a disbeliever. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:
[He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyoneعَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا
[Al-Jinn 72:26]
Say, "None in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except Allahقُل لَّا يَعْلَمُ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ الْغَيْبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ
[An-Naml 27:65]
Allah, Mighty and Majestic, is the one who is exclusively in possession of knowledge of the unseen; He is the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed. As for the created beings, they do not know of the unseen except what Allah reveals to them, namely the prophets and messengers to whom Allah reveals some of the unseen matters for the sake of the call and guidance. Those other than them do not know the unseen. Yes.
