Allah Knows What Their Breasts Conceal And What They Reveal

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.

 

سَوَاءٌ 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 غَايِبَةٍ 

and there is nothing hidden,

 

Ibn Abbas said,

 

"This means, there is nothing

  

فِي السَّمَاء وَالاَْرْضِ إِلاَّ فِي كِتَابٍ 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 السَّمَأءِ 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)
