However Judal knew since he was born that he is a Magi and what is the job he has to do.

How is this possible?

As of chapter 175, little is known of this situation.

However, it *is* known that Aladdin does not have the memories of his early childhood. Thus, he would not remember his rank as a Magi until he was reminded.
