Surah Luqman & Ghayb Ki Ilm - Dr. Israr Ahmad

This lecture clarifies the Islamic perspective on divine knowledge as outlined in Surah Luqman. It addresses questions regarding artificial rain and prenatal gender determination through ultrasound, reconciling them with the belief that knowledge of the unseen (ghayb) belongs solely to Allah. The discussion emphasizes that while scientific advancements reveal previously unseen information, they do not challenge the core principle of divine knowledge. The lecture explains that certain verses in Surah Luqman establish absolute negation of knowledge for anyone besides Allah in specific instances—the Day of Judgment, what is in the wombs, and knowledge of future earnings and death—while others do not imply absolute negation. It further clarifies a hadith related to the same verse and provides a detailed explanation by Maulana Maududi regarding the scope of divine knowledge, including the complexities of what develops within the womb.
