Ghaib

Ghaib

In Islamic context, (al-)Ghaib (غيب) is (the) "unseen" and "unknown", in reference to Allah and the forces that shape the world. The Qur'an states that man (mankind) is unable to see Allah and his attributes. Belief in al-Ghaib is considered an important Muslim characteristic, as it allows for prayer and faith.
