Man has always been in the pursuit of knowledge, but how to have knowledge about future has always been a hot topic.
Adam- the first man was expelled from heavens for eating a fruit from the 'Forbidden tree of knowledge'. This means he and the generations to come got knowledge more than the actual built in knowledge.
Research says ' All the events which are to take place till the day of judgment are stored in a human brain since birth. A man keeps on exploring the stored knowledge till his death'.
Quran: 2:31 "And He taught Adam the nature of all things; then He placed them before the angels, and said: "Tell me the nature of these if ye are right"
As the knowledge is already stored, there are two ways to access that knowledge.
The forbidden way- Palmistry and other 'Hath daikhnay walay' guys. It’s clearly, straightly forbidden in Islam.
A legal way- Tassawuf/ muraqba/ occultation/ retreat better to say 'closeness to Allah'. Using different ways of meditation, thinking, devotion and other ways to nourish ones spirituality can able you to access the knowledge of the future. It is to be noted that not only pious and sufi get that knowledge. Even the striving ones, striving to better Muslims, can also get that knowledge.
The Prophets are an exception to the above. They have the divine guidance. A chain of 'Wahi' or revelations which ended on Holy Prophet Peace be upon him.
The term used for human beings (Sufis,you,me whoever,whatever) is 'Ilham'. And this can be recieved in any form e.g dreams, events etc. The Ilham is not a guess.
The grant of this knowledge is completely dependant on Allah's will, as He is the only one who knows all the secrets of the heavens and the earth.
Quran: 2:33, He said: "O Adam! Tell them their natures." When he had told them, Allah said: "Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of heaven and earth, and I know what ye reveal and what ye conceal?"
