Surah Naml ayat 74 Tafsir Quran 27:74

﴿وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُورُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ﴾
[ النمل: 74]

27:74 And indeed, your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they declare.

And surely your Lord knows what their hearts conceal what these hide and what they proclaim by their tongues.

Allah, your Creator is Omniscient indeed of all that is reposited in their breasts of private thoughts and feelings and of all that they conceal and He is Alimun of all that they reveal

وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَى هَـذَا الْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـدِقِينَ ( And they say: "When (will ) this promise ( be fulfilled ), if you are truthful") Allah said, responding to them: قُلْ ( Say ) `O Muhammad,' عَسَى أَن يَكُونَ رَدِفَ لَكُم بَعْضُ الَّذِى تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ ( Perhaps that which you wish to hasten on, may be close behind you. ) Ibn `Abbas said, "That which you wish to hasten on has come close to you, or some of it has come close." This was also the view of Mujahid, Ad-Dahhak, `Ata Al-Khurasani, Qatadah and As-Suddi.
This is also what is meant in the Ayat: وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَى هُوَ قُلْ عَسَى أَن يَكُونَ قَرِيبًا ( And they say: "When will that be" Say: "Perhaps it is near!" ) ( 17:51 ) يَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِالْعَذَابِ وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيطَةٌ بِالْكَـفِرِينَ ( They ask you to hasten on the torment.
And verily, Hell, of a surety, will encompass the disbelievers ) ( 29:54 ). عَسَى أَن يَكُونَ رَدِفَ لَكُم ( may be close behind you. ) means, it is being hastened for you.
This was reported from Mujahid.
Then Allah says: وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ ( Verily, your Lord is full of grace for mankind, ) meaning, He abundantly bestows His blessings on them even though they wrong themselves, yet despite that they do not give thanks for those blessings, except for a few of them. وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُورُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ ( And verily, your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they reveal. ) means, He knows what is hidden in their hearts just as He knows what is easily visible. سَوَآءٌ مِّنْكُمْ مَّنْ أَسَرَّ الْقَوْلَ وَمَنْ جَهَرَ بِهِ ( It is the same (to Him ) whether any of you conceals his speech or declares it openly) ( 13:10 ), يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ وَأَخْفَى ( He knows the secret and that which is yet more hidden ) ( 20: 7 ), أَلا حِينَ يَسْتَغْشُونَ ثِيَابَهُمْ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ ( Surely, even when they cover themselves with their garments, He knows what they conceal and what they reveal ) ( 11:5 ).
Then Allah tells us that He is the Knower of the unseen in the heavens and on earth, and that He is the Knower of the unseen and the seen, i.e., that which is unseen by His servants and that which they can see.
And Allah says: وَمَا مِنْ غَآئِبَةٍ ( and there is nothing hidden ) Ibn `Abbas said, "This means, there is nothing فِى السَّمَآءِ وَالاٌّرْضِ إِلاَّ فِى كِتَـبٍ مُّبِينٍ ( in the heaven and the earth but it is in a Clear Book. ) This is like the Ayah, أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِى السَّمَآءِ وَالاٌّرْضِ إِنَّ ذلِكَ فِى كِتَـبٍ إِنَّ ذلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ ( Know you not that Allah knows all that is in the heaven and on the earth Verily, it is (all ) in the Book.
Verily, that is easy for Allah.) ( 22:70 )

(27:74) No doubt your Lord knows fully well what they keep hidden in their breasts and what they reveal. *91

And indeed, your Lord knows what their meaning

*91) That is, " He is not only aware of their open misdeeds but is also fully aware of the malice and spite which they are concealing in their hearts and the evil plots which they are making secretly.
Therefore, when the time comes to call them to account, they will be taken to task for everything done and thought. "

Verily, that is easy for Allah.) ( 22:70 )

( Lo! thy Lord ) O Muhammad ( knoweth surely all that their bosoms hide ) of hatred and enmity, ( and all that they proclaim ) and all that they display of disbelief, idolatry and aggression.

And verily, your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they reveal.
