Surah Tawbah ayat 78 Tafsir Quran 9:78

﴿أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَاهُمْ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ﴾
[ التوبة: 78]

9:78 Did they not know that Allah knows their secrets and their private conversations and that Allah is the Knower of the unseen?

Did they the hypocrites not know that God knows their secret what they conceal within themselves and their confidential talks what they confide in each other and that God is the Knower of the hidden things? what is concealed from the eyes.

Do they not realize that Allah knows what their bosoms store of thoughts and feelings and what they suggest secretly to their minds and all that is not openly avowed! Do they not know that He is well acquainted with their secret counsel and with all that they whisper below their breath and that He is Alimun of the seen, the invisible and the unseen

Hypocrites seek Wealth but are Stingy with Alms Allah says, some hypocrites give Allah their strongest oaths that if He enriches them from His bounty, they will give away alms and be among the righteous.
However, they did not fulfill their vows or say the truth with their words.
The consequence of this action is that hypocrisy was placed in their hearts until the Day they meet Allah the Exalted, on the Day of Resurrection.
We seek refuge with Allah from such an end.
Allah said, بِمَآ أَخْلَفُواْ اللَّهَ مَا وَعَدُوهُ ( ...because they broke that (covenant ) with Allah which they had promised to Him) He placed hypocrisy in their hearts because they broke their promise and lied.
In the Two Sahihs, it is recorded that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلَاثٌ: إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ، وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ، وَإِذَا ائْتُمِنَ خَان»
( There are three signs for a hypocrite: if he speaks, he lies; if he promises, he breaks the promise; and if he is entrusted, he betrays the trust. ) Allah said, أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَاهُمْ ( Know they not that Allah knows their secret ideas, and their Najwa, ) Allah states that He knows the secret and what is more hidden than the secret.
He has full knowledge of what is in their hearts, even when they pretend that they will give away alms, if they acquire wealth, and will be grateful to Allah for it.
Truly, Allah knows them better than they know themselves, for He is the All-Knower of all unseen and apparent things, every secret, every session of counsel, and all that is seen and hidden.

( Know they not ) i.e. the hypocrites ( that Allah knoweth both their secret ) that which is between them ( and the thought that they confide ) when they are alone, ( and that Allah is the Knower of Things Hidden ) from His servants?

Know they not that Allah knows their secret ideas, and their Najwa (secret counsels), and that Allah is the All-Knower of the unseen.
