A presentation of the evidence from the Book of Allah and what has been narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that Allah knows by virtue of an attribute of knowledge, and that His knowledge is uncreated.

Allah, exalted is He, says:

“We shall surely relate to them with knowledge, for We were never absent.” [al-A‘raf: 7]

And He says:

“And He knows what you do.” [ash-Shura: 25]

And He says:

“They do not encompass anything of His knowledge except what He wills.” [al-Baqarah: 255]

And He says:

“What He has sent down to you, He has sent down with His knowledge.” [an-Nisa’: 166]

And He says:

“So know that it has been sent down with the knowledge of Allah.” [Hud: 14]

And He says:

“No female conceives or gives birth except with His knowledge.” [Fatir: 11]

⦗448⦘ Among the Companions, this was narrated from Abu al-Abbas Ibn Abbas. Among the scholars who likewise held this view were al-Shafi‘i, Ahmad, Ishaq, Abd al-Aziz ibn Yahya al-Kinani, and Ahmad ibn Sinan al-Wasiti.
