Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it true that Allah knows what was not, had it been, how it would have been, and what is called impossible knowledge?
Answer:
Nothing is impossible for Allah; nothing is impossible for Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. So He knows what was, what will be, and what was not, had it been. This is what He said:[Al-An'am 6:28]. So if they were to return, meaning if it had been, how would it have been? If they were to return, they would return. This is it. Yes.
