📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Anbiya – Verse 4

"The Prophet said, 'My Lord knows every word of the heavens and the earth. And He is the All-Knowing and the All-Seeing' [8]." (Kanzul Imaan Translation)

✅ [8] Allah’s Knowledge of the Unseen

This verse is the Prophet’s ﷺ response to the secret plotting of the disbelievers mentioned earlier.

He declares that Allah knows every hidden and open word, whether in the heavens or on earth.

Thus, the disbelievers will be punished for their whispered mockery, while believers will be rewarded even for acts of hidden worship, because nothing escapes Allah’s knowledge.
