To deny a nabis knowledge of the Unseen is to deny the title of nabi’ itself because the term nabi means the one who brings the news of the Unseen.

Therefore, denying the knowledge of the ghaib for the Prophet Muhammad is, in fact, denying his status as a nabi, and recognizing his status as a nabi is the fundamental obligation to be a Muslim. Therefore, any Muslim who denies the Prophet’s knowledge of ghaib forsakes his fundamental obligation, rendering him/her faithless. Through the process of wahi (divine revelation) and through dreams, Allah reveals His knowledge to the holy prophets. From Adam to Muhammad, Allah sent about 124,000 Prophets and Messengers, to guide humankind to SirateMustaqim (The Straight Path). The Prophet Muhammad is KhatimunNabiyyin (the Seal of Prophet hood, the Final Prophet). There will be no nabi or rasul after him because the Guidance from Allah to humankind has been fulfilled with the teachings of the Prophet.
