What are the basic differences between Kashf and Ilm-e-ghaib?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
What is the basic differences between “Kashf” and “Ilm-e-ghaib”?

Answer

(Fatwa: 1128/1057=B)

Ilm-e-Gaib is to know all that happened in past and that will happen in future; this is an exclusive attribute of Allah alone. While, Kashf is a state of heart in which the inner feelings of other is revealed to one. This is achieved by a kind of rehearsal and spiritual exercise; even non-Muslim jogis can have it.
