Alhamdulillahi Rabil Alameen. Maliki Yaum Id’deen. Was’Salatu Was’Salamu Ala Sayee’dil Mursa’leen. A’uzbillahi Manishayta Nir’Rajeem. Bismillah Ir’Rahma Nir’Raheem.
Special Terminology Used:
*<>* Attributive Title: – {A} Primarily A Title {B} The Title Refflects The Reality Of The Title-Holder.
E.G. Rehmatal Lil Alameen {Mercy Unto Alameen} – Its A Title Of RasoolAllah {SAW}, But This Title Also Refflects His Reality, He Indeed Is Mercy Unto Universe. The Phrase Is Unique In Honour Of Rasoolallah {SAW}, None Else Can Be Rightful Owner Of The Title; Rehmat Tal Lil Alameen.
*<>*Descriptive Attribute: – A Phrase Which Reflects The Reality Of A Being, But Its Not His Title. As An Example, The Word Jaan’war In Urdu Means: “{One} With Life”. This Word Is Used For Four Legged Animals. Though Human Too Is “{One} With Life” But It Would Disrespectful To Reffer To A Human As Jaan’war. Because The Word Is Associated With A Specific Group Of Living; Animals.
E.G. Rehmatal Lil Almaneed Is Descriptive Attribute Of Allah Subhana Wa Tallah – He Is Rehmat On The Entire Creation, But Despite That It Can Not Be Used As A Title For Allah Subhana Wa Tallah.

Alim-Ul-Ghayb:
RasoolAllah [saw] is Alim-Ul-Ghaib. Let me begin with something basic: “I have never had a Friend, never had the chance to get close to someone. Except Ala Hazrat …” So tell who is Ala Hazrat? My friend or Not? You will aggree that this sentence states that Ala Hazrat is my friend. Now keep the same logic in mind and try to understand the fallowing point.
Surah Jinn {72} Verse: {25} “Say: “I know not whether the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. {26} “{Allah} Alim Ul Ghayb {Knower Of Ghayb} does not apoint anyone on His Ghayb.” {27} “Except a chosen Rasool; and then He makes a band of watchers march infront of him and behind him.”
Tafsiri Translation Of Surah Al-Jinn [72] verse 26 -27
“Alim-ul-Ghaibi fala yuzhiru ala ghaibi’hii ahada, illah manirtada manirasool …” Which means: {26} “{Alim Ul Ghayb} Allah does not apoint anyone on {station of} Alim Ul Ghayb.” {27} “Except a chosen Rasool; and then He makes a band of watchers march infront of him and behind him.”
This proves that RasoolAllah {SAW} has been appointed by Allah on the station of Ghayb. And the words Alim Ul Ghayb {Knower Of Ghayb} are ‘Descriptive Attribute’ of RasoolAllah {SAW}, but not ‘Attributive Title’.

Also with regards to the exegesis of Surah Al Jin [72] verses 26-27 I would like to throw another point in, which supports already presented in the above evidence.
Surah Al Baqarah [2]verse 2-5:
[2] “This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah; [3] Who believe in the Ghayb, are steadfast in prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them; [4] And who believe in the Revelation sent to thee, and sent before thy time, and (in their hearts) have the assurance of the Hereafter. [5] They are on (true) guidance, from their Lord, and it is these who will prosper.”
Note that Allah uses the concept of Isharah, Zameer, {hint/pointing} in this Surah, I will explain in detail with the fallowing example.
Allah says those who beleive in GHAYB, but does not indicate EXPLICITLY what Ghayb Allah is reffering to, but the Scholars have concluded that the usage of word Ghayb without explicit mention is proof that we must beleive in all Ghayb that exists; Angles, Hell, Heaven, Allah, Quran, ect; So the word Ghayb {Unseen/UnKnown} is used as ISHARAH toward all the different forms of Ghayb which a beleiver must beleive in to be Muslim.
Then Allah says those who are steadfast in PRAYER but doesnt explicitly state which prayer does it reffer, morning evening, noon, which one? There is no explicit mention of which Salah so the Ulamah have understood this word Salah to be a Isharah toward the five prayers namely, Fajr Zohir, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha.
The same method was used by Allah in Surah Al Jin where Allah uses the words “… ala ghaybi’hii …” has a Isharah towards the words: “Alim-ul-Ghaibi fala yuzhiru…”.
In simple language Allah’s beloved Rasool [saw] is “Alim Ul Ghayb” but with the condition that Allahs knowledge is ZATI {Personel} where as RasoolAllah’s knowledge was Atah {Atah or Atahi = Given/Bestowed} by Allah.
Once again the position of Ahle Sunnat Wal Jammat has been substantiated with evidence of Quran Ul Kareem. The fallowing TAFSIRI TRANSLATION refflects the meanings of Surah Al Jin more explicitly:
“{Alim Ul Ghayb} Allah does not apoint anyone on {station of} Alim Ul Ghayb.” {27} “Except a chosen Rasool; and then He makes a band of watchers march infront of him and behind him.”
Wama Alayna Ilal Balaghul Mubeen.
