Prophet Muhammad: A Witness over our Actions and Access to Knowledge of the Unseen - Ramadan Reflections 18
Although a human being, however Prophet Muḥammad has been given certain abilities by Allāh which he is entitled to use IF and WHEN Allāh permits him – one of them is his ability to tap into Knowledge of the Unseen – again IF and WHEN Allāh allows him. He has also been given the ability to be a witness over the actions of his community – showing that he has the power to know what all of the believers do – a power normally reserved for Allāh but one which He has granted to His Prophet for unique reasons.
