    Question: What is the basic differences between "Kashf" and "Ilm-e-ghaib"?

    Answer ID: 1823

    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1128/1057=B)

     

    Ilm-e-Gaib is to know all that happened in past and that will happen in future; this is an exclusive attribute of Allah alone. While, Kashf is a state of heart in which the inner feelings of other is revealed to one. This is achieved by a kind of rehearsal and spiritual exercise; even non-Muslim jogis can have it.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
