Surah An-Nisa (4:108)

يَّسۡتَخۡفُوۡنَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَلَا يَسۡتَخۡفُوۡنَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَهُوَ مَعَهُمۡ اِذۡ يُبَيِّتُوۡنَ مَا لَا يَرۡضٰى مِنَ الۡقَوۡلِؕ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ مُحِيۡطًا‏ ۝

Yastakhfoona mina annasi walayastakhfoona mina Allahi wahuwa maAAahum ithyubayyitoona ma la yarda mina alqawli wakanaAllahu bima yaAAmaloona muheeta

They conceal their evil intentions and deeds from the people, but they cannot conceal them from Allāh, and He is with them in His knowledge when they spend the night in such as He does not accept of speech. And ever is Allāh, of what they do, encompassing.

Tadabbur (Reflection)

Theme of the Ayat

The Futility of Concealment: Hypocrites hide their deeds from people but not from God.

The Insight

The verse exposes those who attempt to conceal their plots from people but cannot hide them from God. **Live transparently before God.** Since God is fully aware of all hidden thoughts, meetings, and plots, there is no escape from ultimate accountability.
