Transliteration:( Inna rabbaka Huwa a'lamu mai yadillu 'an sabeelihee wa Huwa a'lamu bilmuhtadeen )
“Your Lord knows well [256], who has gone astray from His way. And He knows well the guided ones.”
This verse confirms that Allah knows exactly who is misguided and who is rightly guided. However, some beloved servants are also informed of unseen outcomes by His will. As the Qur’an says: “And they are rejoicing for their successors who have not yet joined them” [Surah 3:170]. Similarly, the Hooris of Paradise proclaim a soul’s return, and the Prophet ﷺ declared Abu Bakr (RA) as a person of Paradise—proving knowledge of destinies was granted to them.
