He Knows Inner and Outer
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَعۡلَمُ غَيۡبَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ ١٨
Lo! Allah knoweth the Unseen of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is Seer of what ye do.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Allah knows the unseen of the heavens and the earth, and Allah sees what you do.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, Allah knows your inner and outer self: whether your Islam is sincere, whether there is faith in your heart, and what passes through your intentions.
Reflect
Purify your intention today for Allah alone.
