The questioner : …the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), “O Allah, if You know…”
The Shaykh : No. It is a conditional statement: “If You know.” And the one before it, “If You know that this matter is good,” is also conditional. Allah knows whether it is this or that. It is not a condition based on the idea that He does not know. He knows that this is either good or evil.
