knowledge of the Imams

According to the Islamic and Quranic teachings, the Prophets and infallible Imams (A) have access to the knowledge of unseen and it is possible for the Prophets and their infallible successors to acquire such a knowledge.

Not only is it rationally possible for the Imams (as) to have knowledge of the unseen, the holy Qur'an also states that God, the Almighty, has granted some of his prophets such knowledge. Being successors of the Prophet (sawa), the Imams (as) were also entrusted with such knowledge so that they would succeed in guiding people to the right path.
