📖 Commentary of Verse 26 (Surah Al-Jinn)

“He is the Knower of the unseen. He does not reveal His secrets to anyone.”


✅ The Secrets of the Unseen [42]

  • Allah (اللَّهُ ) alone knows the ग़ैब (unseen) — things hidden from creation.

  • He does not share His complete unseen knowledge with anyone, except when He wills to inform His chosen ones.


✅ Divine Attributes and Their Reflection

  • The creation is only a reflection of some Attributes of Allah (اللَّهُ ), not the source.

    • For example:

      • Life and existence are reflected in all creation 🌍.

      • Knowledge and rule are reflected in some chosen ones, like prophets and kings.

      • But eternity, being the Creator, and absolute independence are only for Allah (اللَّهُ ) — no one shares in these.

  • 📌 Just as a mirror reflects the light of the sun, it never becomes the sun itself.

  • Likewise, even if a servant reflects divine qualities, he never becomes Allah (اللَّهُ ).
