Question:
He says: The verse states that the Knower of the Unseen is none but Allah. What is the ruling on one who claims knowledge of the unseen?
Answer:
Answer: Allah the Exalted said: “The Knower of the Unseen, so He does not reveal His Unseen to anyone, except whom He chooses from among the messengers” [al-Jinn: 26-27], “Say: None in the heavens and the earth knows the Unseen except Allah” [al-Naml: 65], “And with Him are the keys of the Unseen; none knows them except He” [al-An'am: 59]. So knowledge of the unseen is among the attributes of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Whoever claims knowledge of the unseen, or that he knows the unseen, is a disbeliever, because he claims to share with Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) in one of His attributes (Glorified and Exalted is He).
