Allah Has Heard
قَدۡ سَمِعَ ٱللَّهُ قَوۡلَ ٱلَّتِي تُجَٰدِلُكَ فِي زَوۡجِهَا وَتَشۡتَكِيٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱللَّهُ يَسۡمَعُ تَحَاوُرَكُمَآۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعُۢ بَصِيرٌ ١
Allah hath heard the saying of her that disputeth with thee (Muhammad) concerning her husband, and complaineth unto Allah. And Allah heareth your colloquy. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Allah has heard the words of the woman who disputed with you about her husband and complained to Allah.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, “qad” here conveys both certainty and the fulfilment of something awaited: yes, Allah heard, as was hoped, listened and acted on it.
Reflect
Tell Allah your trouble openly; He hears.
