Abstract:
Belief in the unseen is the foundation of faith, its dependent is reward and punishment, and it distinguishes the believer from the unbeliever. God Almighty sent us the Prophet to inform us of the unseen, and with it faith in God Almighty, His angels, His books, and His messengers. Among the unseen matters is the Preserved Slate and what was written on it. The Slate is a book that God created before He created the heavens and the earth. He wrote everything in it including His complete knowledge and the indication of His greatness and the perfection of His management and power. In this research, I explain what is related to the Slate and what was written in it, and whether what was written in it changes through the verses, hadiths, and the sayings of the prophet companions.
