View about Naimatullah Shah Wali !!

Question
Assalam o Alaikum,
Maulana, I recently viewed following programs of Zaid Hamid Sahab, in which he talk in detail about the predictions of a buzurg NaimatullahShah Wali who passed some 800 years ago. Zaid Hamid Sahab said thatShah Ismail Shaheed Rehmallah has written some of the poetry ofNaimatullah Shah Wali at the end of his book. Zaid Hamid Sahab talkedabout this in detail in these programs.
I want to know how a Muslim should view Naimatullah Shah Wali and his works?
Answer
Waalaikumussalam! I dont learn briefly about Naimatullah Shah Wali but if information provided is true than we can view him as a Muttaqi Buzrug whose some predictions come true. Now understand the view of Islam regarding such predictions.Islam says: 1)Nobody knows Gaib except Allah. it means nobody can gain knowledge of Gaib directly without using any medium. either that medium is material based or spiritual like Wahi or ilham. 2) secodly Islam prohibits us to authenticate and confirm any prediction of astrologers and if a prediction is made by a Muttaqi person and he neither claims Gaib nor offers any Bidaat than we can consider it as an ilham. Regards
