In answer to the video "The Crucifixion 06 - Dilemmas of Denying the Crucifixion, Part 1"
The realm of the unseen is one that can never be fully grasped by the human intellect, at least in this world. The Quran refers to it fully as the Knowledge of the Book 11:49,12:102,25:4-6. It belongs to Allah alone 6:59 but He gives man a partial glimpse of it in this world, through chosen individuals mainly prophets 2:255,3:179,72:26-27.
This knowledge allowed Jesus the performance of miracles with Allah's permission 3:49,5:110 as well as the disclosure of hidden secrets. Precisely revealing to the people detailed information pertaining to the privacy of their household, such as the various items hidden therein or the composition of their meals was a concrete and undeniable expression of God's knowledge of the unseen.
The implication being that none can escape just accountability, a basic tennet upheld by the monotheistic prophets. Other prophets were given part of that knowledge, including Abraham 6:75, Joseph 12:6,15,21,37, David and Solomon 21:79,27:15-16, Adam 2:31, as well as certain non-prophets 2:247,27:40.
In all cases, this knowledge remains in God's control, who takes it away as He pleases 3:26. Moses encountered a servant of Allah that was granted an aspect of that knowledge which was beyond even Moses' comprehension 18:60-82. Man should therefore not hold the arrogant belief that the solution to all the mysteries of the universe are "just around the corner"
68:47"Or have they (the knowledge of) the unseen, so that they write (it) down?".The unseen realities which man is told can be reasonably derived from deep reflexion over the signs surrounding us, these unseen realities will only fully manifest in the hereafter
14:42-3"the eyes shall be fixedly open, hastening forward, their heads upraised, their eyes not reverting to them and their hearts vacant".At that point man will be granted a sharp vision of "steel" 50:22, enhancing his spiritual consciousness and general perception 19:38. This Day, the Quran will fully reveal itself with all of its prophecies coming true
38:88,7:53"On the day when the fulfilment of it comes, those who are forgetful of it will say: the messenger of our Lord brought the truth".
