3:142 Does God know the future?
-
God is the creator and master of time, so I think for God,he is above time restraints of Past, Present and Future. I think it is impossible us to ponder about how he uses time.
If God is above time restraints then what does He mean by this
Allah has not yet known those who strive hard from among you ? doesn't it show that he uses the time in the same manner we do?
-
I believe he does, because I believe God knows everything.
I/We/You/whoever believe doesn't make anything true.

Do you think that you would enter Paradise without God distinguishing those among you who strive, and without distinguishing the steadfast?
Here is a different translation of the same Ayah from QXP, which conveys a different idea than yours.
In Message of Freeminders is also uses distinguishingh.

God distinguishing those who would strive among you and
distinguishing those who are patient -

If you really want to learn GOD's message stay away from QXP.
thanks

Message also says the same,Allama Nooruddin , so does RK, so what is so different from QXP.
RK translation.
3142] Do you expect to enter Paradise without GOD distinguishing those among you who strive, and without distinguishing those who are steadfast?

,because they are afraid to say "God has not known yet"
but not afraid to translate it incorrectly.

Doesn't 230 imply that God knows the future?
FM translation
And your Lord said to the angels "I am placing a successor on earth." They said "Would You place in it those who would corrupt in it, and spill blood, while we sing Your glory, and praise You?" He said "I know what you do not know."

hi jack
not really it only shows God knows more than angels. but if you look at the history and current situation and read that verse again it would imply that angels knew our future better. ;D
we are living in a horrible world

Do you think that you will enter the garden while Allah has not yet known those who strive hard from among you, and (He has not) known the patient.
peace
how do you understand the above verse?
thanksPeace,
Respectfully. handshakeI think we need to strive hard and be patient and only then we'll enter The Garden, God willing, right? God lives outside Space-Time Continuum, right, so He The Most Wise already knows who will enter Heaven/HellFire.
Peace. bravo

why? what's wrong with it? who's to say YOU use the perfect translation.
but actually, we CAN'T understand it as 'God not knowing it', because it would then contradict rest of quran. just like we can't understand 'kill them wherever you find them' as some excuse to kill nonbelievers, because it goes against other parts of quran.
This is just like saying can God be unfair?
When we think of God as "someone" who can and can't.
We do not, and cannot, know what God is
So let's just think of what His attributes are...exactly.
now i KNOW that God knows everything, incliuding the future, although it doesn't mean HE brought those decisions. we just have to know what God is and how He is and/or operates.
how i see it is, we make the future with our thoughts and intentions (for example, you may think of going somewhere tomorrow and when you decide that you almost already did it) but since we're not alone here, there's other people involved, their intentions get in the way, and there's lets say 5 different possibilities and the one most likely to happen stays... it's kinda mathmatical. and since God invented the system... of course He will be aware of it... will know all possibilities and see which one has most potential.
