Abstract

This paper discusses the cognizance of Allah (swt) and how it is related to information, emphasizing the eternity of Allah`s knowledge and its being impeccable of "Badaa`" (the revelation of things that were not known before), in an attempt to answer the question: does any knowledge come to Allah (swt) regarding the occurrence of information? does the Allah`s knowledge of existing things change based on the change in their (things) status? In the light of this, how are we to understand the Sharia texts that apparently manifest the occurrence of Allah`s knowledge of these things?
This paper has discussed the concept of "Badaa`", divine knowledge and the true faith in Allah`s knowledge. Then, the paper proceeds to the development of the concept of "Badaa`" in the knowledge of Allah, for those who believe in it, and the mental and transferred suspicions upon which they were based, discussing and correctly directing them in a way that doesn`t contradict the Muslim faith, in conclusion, the paper has reached many important results.
