We should know that the knowledge of the Almighty Allah about things before their coming into existence is not having any difference as compared to His knowledge before their coming into existence. He was knowing everything from eternity, which would be created till ever and all things; though it might be like particles, or like drops of sea, weight of particles and mountains; or leaves of trees or desert sand and breathing of animals; everything is clear for Him. It is so, because He is the creator of everything, whether it is through a medium or without it and whoever through his intention and discretion creates something. he has complete knowledge of its qualities and signs; if one ponders on this it will be clear and obvious.

Also Allah, the Mighty and the High is abstract. The relationship of the abstract is same with everything. Also as all the created things results of His existence, the knowledge and perfection of everything is sourced through Him. One, who is cognizant of all the sciences, is not ignorant of anything. The Almighty Allah has hinted to all these proofs in three words of the Holy Quran:

أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ ﴿١٤﴾

"Does He not know, Who created? And He is the Knower of the subtleties, the Aware." (Surah Mulk 67:14)

Thus, we realize that He is subtle, with wholesome kindness. for all existing beings and that He is the protector, creator and nourisher of all; it is Him only, who conveys everyone to the ranks of perfection; and only He is the knower of hidden matters. We admit to the unique creations of the creator, that is the sun, moon and stars and their different movements based on laws of wisdom, and the training of material and vegetative things; and who convey each of them to perfection; explanation of human and animals bodies and who arranges their parts; their growth; perception of external and internal senses, on which philosophers have written books on every topic after contemplating on them for thousands of years, even then they were unable to become conversant with a tenth part of them.

Therefore, we become aware with certainty that such a God, from whom nothing is concealed, and who is not helpless from anything and is powerful on everything and that His knowledge is eternal and everlasting and He is never oblivious to anything; forgetfulness is not possible from Him and sleep and slumber are impossible for Him: because all these are defects, and He is perfect from all defects.

So, when in general, the knowledge and power of the Almighty Allah and His being free from all evil is proved, and the reality of prophets and his successors is also proved through miracles, as will be mentioned later, if Allah wills; then all qualities of perfection are proved through the sayings and reports of these elders and there is no need to the know the rational reasonings; that is why we have not prolonged the discussion.
