The issue of preserving the knowledge of Unseen with Shihābs in the Qur'ānic verses

Abstract

In the Qur'ān, a mysterious event is mentioned in four different parts. According to the most mufassar (exegetes), the essence of this event in the Qur'ānic verses is the knowledge of revelation, which include divine orders about how the earth is transferred to the lower level, starting from the angels in the upper level. Ultimately, this information is delivered to the missionary angel who will execute the order. During this transfer, the devils secretly try to capture this information. The purpose of Satan is inform the priests to inform them in advance. However, shihābs step in and prevent the devils to reach these information. Thus, the security of the information, which include divine orders, are provided and prevented the passage of unauthorized hand. This event in the Qur'ān requires a systematic analysis of the culltural structure of pre- Islamic Arab society, the perception of the incident of the interlocutory mass in the process of conquest, and the various comprehension efforts in parallel with the cultural changes that have taken place. The problem of preserving the knowledge of unseen with shihābs will be studied in various aspects by considiring the subject and taking into consideration the different approaches in the historical process.
