In this section of the Kashf al-Mahjub, Hujwiri distinguishes two fundamentally different kinds of knowledge (علم). Divine knowledge is an eternal attribute of God, subsisting in His own essence and without limit; by it He knows all existents and non-existents as a single, indivisible knowledge in which creatures have no share and which is never separate from Him. Human knowledge, by contrast, is a created attribute subsisting in the finite creature and is therefore always limited, as the Qur'an notes that man has been given only a little of knowledge. Before the boundlessness of God's knowledge, the servant's knowledge is effectively as nothing. Hujwiri further argues that the order and soundness of God's act (creation) is itself a proof of His knowledge, since a firmly ordered act points to a knowing agent.
