Excellence of Durud Shareef
The Noble Rasool صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم has stated, ‘Whoever recites Salat upon me one time, Allah عزوجل sends ten mercies upon him.’ (Sahih Muslim, pp. 166, vol. 1)

The Prophet’s Ilm-E-Ghaib (Knowledge Of The Unseen)

The Ahle Sunnah wa Jamaat believe that Nabi  after being informed by Almighty Al’laah is aware of everything that happened and will happen. In other words, it is our belief that the Prophet  also possesses knowledge of the unseen (ilm-e-ghaib) and this has been bestowed upon him by Almighty Al’laah.

“And it is not befitting to Al’laah, O common People! That He may grant you the knowledge of the Unseen. But yes, He chooses from His Prophets whosoever He Wills.” [SurahAl Imran Verse.179]

Concerning this verse of the Holy Qur’aan, Hazrat Allama Jalalud'deen Suyuti  states in his commentary,

“The meaning of this is that Al’laah chooses whomsoever He Wills from His Messengers, and then He informs them of the unseen.” [Tafseer Jalalain Shareef Pg.66]

Allama Ismaeel Haqqi while commentating on this verse of the Holy Qur’aan says,

“The (Unseen Knowledge regarding) realism and these conditions is not made apparent without the mediation of the Holy Prophet .” [Tafseer Roohul Bayaan Pg.132 Vol.2]

Al’laah Almighty in another verse of the Holy Qur’aan says,

“And He (Al’laah) taught you all that which you knew not. And Great is the Grace of Al’laah upon you.” [SurahAn Nisa Verse.113]

Concerning this verse, Allama Imam Fakhruddeen Raazi  states,

“This refers to the Directives and Knowledge of the Unseen” [Tafseer Kabeer]

Imam Nasfi  in his Tafseer says,

“In other words he was taught the laws of Shariat-e-Mutaahira and the laws of Deen and it was said to him, you have been taught those things regarding the Unseen which you did not know and it has been stated that the meaning of this is that he was taught of all hidden things and (He) informed him of the secrets of the heart and he was informed of the deceit and hypocrisy of the hypocrites. He was taught the Laws of Deen, (and He informed him of all) the hidden things and the secrets of the heart.” [Tafseer Madraarik Pg.250 Vol.1]

Allama Kaashifi has stated the following concerning this verse of the Qur’aan, “This refers to the knowledge of Ma Kaana Wa Maa Yakoon (the complete past and future), which Almighty Al’laah bestowed upon the Prophet  on the night of Me’raj. It has been stated in the Hadith-e-Me’raj that (Prophet Sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said, 'I was under the Arsh and a drop was placed into my throat. Then I became aware of all that which happened and all that which is to happen.” [Tafseer Husaini Pg.124]

Almighty Al’laah says in the Holy Qur’aan,

Rahmaan taught the Qur’aan to His Beloved Rasool

He created (Muhammad) (the soul of) Mankind

He taught him about everything (Which happened and which was to happen) [Surah Rahmaan Verses1-4]

It is Tafseer-e-Khaazin regarding the above mentioned verse,

“It has been stated that ‘Insaan’ in this verse refers to Muhammad and that he was informed of the happenings of the past and future because the Holy Prophet  has been informed of the past and the future and of all that which will happen up to Qiyaamah.” [Tafseer-e-Khaazin]

Allama Baghwi (alaihimur Rahma) commenting on the said verse of the Qur’aan says,

“Almighty Al’laah created Insaan, in other words the Holy Prophet Muhammad  and he informed him of the happenings of the past and the future.”

Ya Allah عزوجل of Mustafa  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلم! We make sincere Dua that  blesses us all with strength in Imaan and true love for the Holy Prophet  صلی اللہ تعالی علیہ وسلمand for all those who follow that which has been taught and commanded by Him. Amin! (Source: Extracted from Proper Sunni Beliefs)
