And ever is Allah, of all things, Knowing.
وَكَانَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا [Al-Ahzab 33:40]
Was
كان
in the past, but as for now? No, so
Was
كان
here, the time aspect is removed, and it is used only to affirm the attribute, which is knowledge.
And ever is Allah, of all things, Knowing.
وَكَانَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا [Al-Ahzab 33:40]
From Him, that there is no prophet after him, meaning from the knowledge that Allah the Exalted knows, that there is no prophet after him. For this reason, He said:
but [he is] the Messenger of Allah and last of the prophets
ولكن رسول الله وخاتم النبيين [Al-Ahzab 33:40]
And His saying:
of all things, Knowing.
بكل شيء عليماً [An-Nisa 4:32]
includes even the deeds of the children of Adam, yes.
And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الإِنْسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ
[Q:16] before he does them. He said:
"And when the Master Jesus descends, he will judge by their Shari'ah". When the Master descends, did Allah describe him as "Master"? ... Allah did not describe him as "Master" in Surat al-Imran.
(45) [And mention] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary - distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allah]. (46) He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous."
إِذْ قَالَتِ الْمَلائِكَةُ يَا مَرْيَمُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُبَشِّرُكِ بِكَلِمَةٍ مِنْهُ اسْمُهُ الْمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَجِيهًا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ * وَيُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فِي الْمَهْدِ وَكَهْلًا
[Al-Imran 45:46]

But He did not say "Master." In any case, I fear that this word entered the author's text from the expressions of the Christians, because they always say "the Master Jesus," "the Master Jesus." And there is no doubt that he is a Master, (peace and blessings be upon him), because he is a prophet among the prophets. He says:
"he will judge by their Shari'ah". And in that case, he will not bring a new Shari'ah, so it does not contradict the verse.
and the Seal of the Prophets
وخاتم النبيين
And you have known that regarding the issue of the descent of Jesus, two objections are raised. First: that he is a prophet, so how can he be a prophet when the Messenger is the Seal of the Prophets? And second: that it results in the change of some of the rulings of the Shari'ah. And we answered that.
