Does Ibn Taymiyyah's swearing seventy oaths that the Muslims would be victorious over the Tatars, and his saying, "Insha'Allah (God willing) as a certainty, not merely a suspension," explaining that God had written their defeat in the Preserved Tablet, as well as his knowledge of what Ibn al-Qayyim was thinking, mean that he knew the Unseen?

Allah alone knows the unseen, and whoever believes that someone other than Him knows the unseen is a disbeliever, by the consensus of scholars. However, Allah may reveal some of the unseen to certain of His servants as a karamah (miraculous grace) to them. This is what the Ahl al-Sunnah (definition) wal-Jama'ah believe, affirming the karamat of the awliya (saints). Sheikh al-Islam mentioned that the karamat of the awliya are among the fundamentals of the Ahl al-Sunnah, and that they have existed since ancient nations and will continue until the Day of Judgment, and that cosmic matters may be revealed to a believing servant due to the strength of their faith. Examples of this include: the story of 'Umar with Sariya, and Abu Bakr's informing that his wife was pregnant with a female child. From this same category is the story mentioned about Imam Ibn Taymiyyah, which Ibn al-Qayyim transmitted from him.
