Why Has God Been a Mystery?

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful...the Best Knower.

"In the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the Mystery of God should be finished..." -- Revelation 10:7

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when He shall appear we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is." -- 1 Jn. 3:2

"I, Allah, am the Best Knower." -- Holy Qur'an

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad taught us that the actual Knowledge of the Person and Reality of God has been kept secret for trillions of years. For the last 6,000 years, the Archdeceiver has been allowed to rule and deceive the people, particularly concerning the Actual Knowledge of God (Rev. 12:9). The greatest deception is that which causes people to misperceive the Greatest Reality...namely, God...and Self.

Satan cannot rule the people if the Knowledge of God is present among the people. Satan can only rule in the "absence" of God...in the absence of the Knowledge of God. How and Why has the Knowledge of God been kept a secret, or a Mystery? And when will that Knowledge be made known? And what effect will the Knowledge of God have on the world of Satan?

"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ,and He shall reign forever and ever.' " -- Revelation 11:15

The True Knowledge of God brings about the establishment of the Kingdom of God, and the complete and permanent destruction of Satan's rule and world. This is not to take place until the Last Days.

Although Allah has raised up many Messengers and Prophets as Truth bearers and warners, He did not allow any prophet - not Moses, nor Jesus, nor Muhammad - to make known the Knowledge of Himself which was to remain hidden until the Time of the end of Satan's rule. This means that the prophets of God, and the Scriptures they brought to the people, were raised up in the Time of Satan's rule; which is why no prophet (and no interpretation of scripture) was successful in defeating Satan in his time. Satan has managed to defeat EVERY prophet's community.

"...And let not the Archdeceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allah..."
"I (Iblis/Satan) will come after them in Thy Straight Path...I will make them all deviate."
-- Holy Qur'an

Why did Allah allow Satan to deceive "the whole world"? Why did Allah keep back that knowledge of Himself that would have protected the people from such deception?

Since the Holy Qur'an was revealed prior to the end of the Time given to Satan to rule, It does not openly reveal that knowledge of God that would end Satan's rule. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) did not give the full interpretation of the Qur'an. If he had, the power of Satan in the world would have been broken long ago, and we would be 1400 years into the Hereafter by now. If Jesus had brought that knowledge with him, we would be 2000 years into the Hereafter by now. However, it is plain to see that Satan's rule and power are still intact in this world. This tells us that the Knowledge of God that would end Satan's rule is not yet in the world... God is yet a Mystery....until fairly recently, that is.

What Lesson(s) did God want us to Learn from the absence of this Knowledge?
Have you ever kept certain information from a Child for his own good?

Humanity is on a Journey - a Journey toward Oneness with Allah(God). We started the Journey as Children in a "garden", and Allah has been evolving Us through the ages, and through stages, toward Himself ever since. All the Prophets and Messengers (and the Scriptures they brought) served as Preparation for the Day when Allah would reveal the Highest of All Wisdom and Knowledge, which had been kept Hidden. Once Allah begins to reveal that Hidden Knowledge, Change begins to take place in the minds and hearts of the people. Then, having accepted the Truth that Allah reveals regarding Himself, the people can go back to the Scriptures and extract the hidden Wisdom and Guidance that was with them all along; and with the true interpretation rendered by this "new knowledge", the people can begin the process of building a new world of righteousness to replace the old and dying world of Satan.

What then is that Secret Knowledge of God which the world has been without -- the absence of which has allowed Satan to rule, and the presence of which will forever remove Satan and his world?
