Kitaab Sharh us-Sunnah
by Al-Barbahaaree
Trans. Abu Talhah Dawud Burbank


54: Allah’s knowledge comprehends all matters: those that take place and those that do not.

To have Faith that Allah knew whatever would be from the start of time and whatever would not be and that He fully enumerated and comprehended everything that was to be. Anyone who says, “He did not know that which was or will be in existence,” [1] has disbelieved in Allah, the Most Sublime.


NOTES

[1] This is the saying of Hishaam ibn al-Hakam, the leader of misguidance, who believed that Allah, the Most Perfect, did not know anything until He created knowledge of it for Himself. This is clear disbelief.
