He has the keys of the Treasures of the Unseen God Knows Your Intentions.

The third verse adds a new dimension to the meanings of the previous verses and it says, “He is God in the heavens and on earth.” He knows what you express and what you hide and He knows all that you do. The first sentence establishes in existence in this universe and the second speaks of the human intentions for He is aware of that which is hidden and that which is expressed. The third sentence mentions His knowledge about the deeds of mankind. On the whole this verse warns the entire mankind.

His presence in the Universe does not mean a physical presence because has no body and no station. His presence means that His entity encompasses all things and all things are subservient to Him. There is an idea about His presence being manifest in the universe and the mention of His name in the heavens and the earth but the first interpretation is more apt.

What do the words “He is aware of all that you do?”

Some commentators opine that this verse speaks about God’s knowledge of the declared and undeclared or hidden things (2) In other words it speak of the intentions of the heart and the manifest deeds. Some say that it speaks of the conditions and attributes related to spirituality and otherwise which a person achieves through his deeds. (3) Some say that the word “Sirr” denotes intentions and “Jahar” denotes conditions while “Ma Taksiboon” denotes deeds.(4) All the three interpretations are compatible but when we study the Qura’n about the source of achievement then the third opinion seems the best.
