Surah Al-Imran (3:29)

قُلۡ اِنۡ تُخۡفُوۡا مَا فِىۡ صُدُوۡرِكُمۡ اَوۡ تُبۡدُوۡهُ يَعۡلَمۡهُ اللّٰهُؕ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا فِى السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِى الۡاَرۡضِؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ قَدِيۡرٌ‏ ۝

Qul in tukhfoo ma fee sudoorikumaw tubdoohu yaAAlamhu Allahu wayaAAlamu ma fee assamawatiwama fee al-ardi wallahu AAalakulli shay-in qadeer

Say, "Whether you conceal what is in your breasts or reveal it, Allāh knows it. And He knows that which is in the heavens and that which is on the earth. And Allāh is over all things competent.

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Transparency of Intent: God knows all thoughts hidden and revealed.

The Insight

God knows the inner thoughts that are concealed in the heart and the actions that are revealed. Ensure your private mind aligns with your public action. Since God knows your true intentions (the purpose behind a partnership, a smile, a vote), focus on purifying your inner motive, as that is the true measure of your loyalty.
