The Omnipresence of the Prophet (s.a.w.)
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ The following was adapted from the work of Dr. Jibril Fu’ad Haddad. Imam Abu ‘Abdullah Muhammad ibn al-Khafif ash-Shirazi ( q.s. ) said, in his al-‘Aqidah asw-Swahihah , that the Prophet ( s.a.w. ) is knower of what is, and what shall be, and he gave news of the unseen. This means, in the sense of being Imparted, by Allah ( s.w.t. ), whatever He Imparted to him. Shaykh Muhammad Adib ibn Ahmad al-Kallas ( q.s. ) said, “Note that ibn Khafif did not say ‘He knows all that is, and all that shall be.’” Shaykh ‘Abd al-Hadi ibn Muhammad al-Kharsa said that the Prophet ( s.a.w. ) possesses knowledge of all that is, and knows the Created universes in the same way that one knows a room in which one sits. Nothing is hidden from him. There are two verses of the Qur’an that Affirm this: سُوۡرَةُ النِّسَاء فَكَيۡفَ إِذَا جِئۡنَا مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةِۭ بِشَهِيدٍ۬ وَجِئۡنَا بِكَ عَلَىٰ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ شَہِيد...
