A Call for Unity
Allah Knows Everything
Allah knows, hears, and sees everything, regardless of
when or where it happens, or how secret it is. For example,
He knows when and where all people are be born and die,
what they do while in this world, what they strive for, when
and why they laugh or cry, and what they plan and think
right down to the last detail. He also knows everything that
happens in the universe, the conditions of all of the countless
plants and animals on Earth, all laws of the universe, and the
countless other things. Allah says:
Do you not know that Allah knows everything in heav-
en and Earth? That is in a Book. That is easy for Allah.
(Surat Al-Hajj: 70)
He knows what is said openly and what you hide. (Surat
Al-Anbiya: 110)
You do not engage in any matter, recite any of the
Qur'an, or do any action without Our witnessing you
while you are occupied with it. Not even the smallest
speck eludes your Lord, either on Earth or in heaven.
Nor is there anything smaller than that, or larger, which
is not in a Clear Book. (Surah Yunus: 61)
In the Qur'an Allah reveals that He creates and knows
everything. In other words, nothing, regardless of how hid-
den or insignificant it is, is outside of His knowledge. The
Gospel and the Torah reveal this great truth:
For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and noth-
ing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.
(Luke, 8: 17)
