Quran 9:78 — At-Tawba, verse 78
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Do they not realize that God knows their secrets and their private discussions? That God knows all that is hidden?
أَلَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَاهُمْ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ
alam yaʿlamū anna l-laha yaʿlamu sirrahum wanajwāhum wa-anna l-laha ʿallāmu l-ghuyūbi
