Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Those who believe in the unseen”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Then He said: [Al-Baqarah 2:3] This is among the attributes of the righteous: that they believe in the unseen, meaning they acknowledge it and admit to it. The intended meaning of the unseen here is what is hidden from people of what Allah and His Messenger have informed them about, whether that concerns the attributes of Allah, or what concerns the servants of Allah in the past, or what concerns the servants of Allah in the future. They believe in it, so they believe in Allah, Mighty and Majestic, by His names and attributes, by His oneness of worship and His oneness of lordship. They also believe in what Allah has informed them about regarding the previous nations. They believe in what Allah has informed them about regarding the future, namely the knowledge of the Hereafter, because all of this falls within His saying: Yes, does belief in the unseen include belief in the angels? Yes, because they are a realm of the unseen.
