Translation — Tafsir

Word Meanings:

Ghayb (غَيْب): That which is hidden from human perception and knowledge — the unseen, the concealed realities of existence.
Dhāt al-Ṣudūr (ذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ): Literally "that which is in the breasts" — the innermost secrets, intentions, thoughts, and feelings that reside within the hearts of people.

Explanation of the Verse:

Allah, the Exalted, declares His absolute and perfect knowledge of the unseen — everything that is hidden in the heavens and the earth. Not a single secret, not a single hidden reality, escapes His awareness. The vastness of the universe, with all its mysteries and concealed wonders, lies fully open before His knowledge. He knows what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what has never crossed the mind of any human being.

Then Allah emphasizes an even more profound truth: He is fully aware of what lies within the hearts and breasts of His servants. He knows every intention, every desire, every fleeting thought, every whisper of the soul — whether good or evil, whether spoken or kept hidden deep within. He knows the secrets that a person has never revealed to anyone, the thoughts they have never uttered, and the feelings they have never expressed. If He knows what is hidden in the hearts, then how much more does He know of what is said openly and done visibly?

This verse carries a powerful message of accountability and mindfulness. Since Allah knows the innermost secrets of every heart, believers must be ever conscious that their intentions, thoughts, and hidden motives are all within His sight. No one can hide anything from Him — not in the heavens, not on the earth, and not within the depths of their own soul. This knowledge should inspire sincere devotion, pure intentions, and constant self-purification, for the One who sees the hidden is certainly aware of the apparent. Let this awareness fill your heart with awe and love — awe of His all-encompassing knowledge, and love for a Lord who knows your struggles, your silent prayers, and the goodness you strive to keep hidden. He sees your sincere efforts even when no one else does, and He will reward you for what your heart truly contains.

📜 Verse 36-40 — Fatir

36وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَهُمْ نَارُ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يُقْضَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَمُوتُوا وَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُم مِّنْ عَذَابِهَا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي كُلَّ كَفُورٍ

And for those who disbelieve will be the fire of Hell. [Death] is not decreed for them so they may die, nor will its torment be lightened for them. Thus do we recompense every ungrateful one.

37وَهُمْ يَصْطَرِخُونَ فِيهَا رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا نَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا غَيْرَ الَّذِي كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ ۚ أَوَلَمْ نُعَمِّرْكُم مَّا يَتَذَكَّرُ فِيهِ مَن تَذَكَّرَ وَجَاءَكُمُ النَّذِيرُ ۖ فَذُوقُوا فَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِن نَّصِيرٍ

And they will cry out therein, "Our Lord, remove us; we will do righteousness - other than what we were doing!" But did We not grant you life enough for whoever would remember therein to remember, and the warner had come to you? So taste [the punishment], for there is not for the wrongdoers any helper.

38إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَالِمُ غَيْبِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُورِ

Indeed, Allah is Knower of the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and earth. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

39هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَكُمْ خَلَائِفَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۚ فَمَن كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُ ۖ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الْكَافِرِينَ كُفْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا مَقْتًا ۖ وَلَا يَزِيدُ الْكَافِرِينَ كُفْرُهُمْ إِلَّا خَسَارًا

It is He who has made you successors upon the earth. And whoever disbelieves - upon him will be [the consequence of] his disbelief. And the disbelief of the disbelievers does not increase them in the sight of their Lord except in hatred; and the disbelief of the disbelievers does not increase them except in loss.

40قُلْ أَرَأَيْتُمْ شُرَكَاءَكُمُ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَرُونِي مَاذَا خَلَقُوا مِنَ الْأَرْضِ أَمْ لَهُمْ شِرْكٌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ أَمْ آتَيْنَاهُمْ كِتَابًا فَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَتٍ مِّنْهُ ۚ بَلْ إِن يَعِدُ الظَّالِمُونَ بَعْضُهُم بَعْضًا إِلَّا غُرُورًا

Say, "Have you considered your 'partners' whom you invoke besides Allah? Show me what they have created from the earth, or have they partnership [with Him] in the heavens? Or have We given them a book so they are [standing] on evidence therefrom? [No], rather, the wrongdoers do not promise each other except delusion."
