Al-Ghayb (Arabic: الغيب) is an Arabic expression used to convey that something is concealed (unseen). In Islam, it is a technical term referring to the secrets only known by God. It is an important concept in Islam, encompassing what cannot be perceived or known by humans. This includes God, the attributes of God, the Last Day and its events, and the heart (qalb). Beyond the theological implications, it can also mean something "unseen" relative to an observer, in the sense that someone acts behind the perceiver's back. In general, creatures classified as supernatural in Western scholarship, such as Jinn, are not considered to be part of al-Ghayb. Since „supernatural beings“, though unseen relative to humans, belong to the category of created beings and not to God‘s secrets. Jinn do not know God’s secrets and rely on prophets for revelation. Angels likewise have only limited knowledge and know „only what God taught“ them. In the Quran, it has 6 forms and 3 meanings. But it can also be used in a general sense to refer to something that is known to some but concealed from others.
