That's true.

Thats why in some verses of the quran Allah (swt)
refers to things as if they've already happened before
they actually occur by using the past tense.

Additionally do you know about the concept of Alam
i Mithal ?

Even if the past tense is assumed to be a poetic reference, I would think that it is reasonable to expect that a poetic flow of the verses using the future tense could just as easily have been created. A proper poetic flow using the future tense is what one would expect for future events. At the least, that would be the default or most reasonable expectation for a human-made poem, story, or prophecy. I personally think that the usage of the past tense is not only a poetic reference but also another marvelous clue that the Quran is a revelation from God (a being that transcends time) and that the Quran is not just a human invention.

oh yeah, and also how the time is referred to as a non linear entity ... it might be just a 'poetic' reference or something deeper, who knows ...

Good catch. Thanks. It seems that human language could be imprecise or inaccurate at describing certain divine traits of God. It was unintentional on my part to use the word "already" to paint the picture of confining God to the dimension of time. Certainly, God transcends space-time.

By the way, it is interesting that the Quran uses the past tense to describe certain events of the Hereafter since God knows that the events are bound to happen.

" As far as God is concerned, everything, even the Day of Judgment, has already happened and finished."

The problem with associating time bound terms as "already" with God is that you confine God by time, which is not supposed to be the assumption given God transcends time (it's just another dimension with space anyway).

The discussion of if God knows future or not is also the same story, we're trying to enter His dimension and analysing it without knowing anything about it ...
