KITAB-UL-MAKNOON
A book of transmutation, only accessible to those with purity of intention and deed. Anyone trying to read it should comprehend various manifestations of Allah verses in all four dominion as HE has said:
هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ وَالْآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
ILM as mentioned here cannot be taken only as knowledge ,because knowledge is one aspect of ILM.
ILM is inherent in us. It was placed inside Adam as one of the first ISM(name) of Allah:
وَعَلَّمَ آدَمَ
and from Adam to whole mankind. Through this name Allah gave excellence to Adam and by virtue of this name Adam extracted info from all other names of Allah:
قَالَ يَا آدَمُ أَنبِئْهُم بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ ۖ فَلَمَّا أَنبَأَهُم بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ
Angels submitted and said : لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا
And this is where Adam excellence was proved and although Adam told all there was , Allah attributed it to Himself , both to prove the excellence of HIS creation, and a reminder that in reality these names goes back to Allah.
So remember the favor Allah bestowed upon you and approach the Book with openness of mind and heart and with humble soul, ready to accept all its manifestations in divinity as this ILM is an occean without shore.
