Do we know what the other 45 parts of prophecy are?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A righteous vision is one part of forty-six parts of prophethood, and the parts of prophethood are among the unseen which is known only through a text. Qadi Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi and al-Mazari mentioned that the detailed proportion is specific to the rank of prophethood. It is stated in the Sunnah that "good demeanor, deliberation, and moderation: are one part of twenty-four parts of prophethood." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, conveyed to his nation the sciences of prophethood related to their obligations, and Allah preserved them, and the imams took care to accurately record them. Prophethood is not attained by seeking or research, and it was concluded with the Prophet of Allah, Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. Therefore, a servant should seek the sciences of prophethood and follow in its footsteps.
