Translation

Allah knows what you reveal and what you hide.

Tafsir

Allah (swt) made a covenant with our souls by creating our souls (kalu bela). He wrote people's own desires and wishes as their destiny. While no human being knows what will happen in their destiny, Allah (swt) knows what all His creatures will do. Therefore, whether people conceal or reveal what they will do, it is the same for Allah and does not change in the sight of Allah. But as long as people do not put into practice what they conceal and what they reveal, they do not receive rewards and sins.

What is said in the video

Surah An-Nahl, verse 19: Allah knows what you conceal and what you reveal. In another verse He also says: We know the secrets of the hearts, He says. What is this? When we made our covenant with Allah Almighty, in return for the covenant we gave our Lord, He, since He knows our wish, what passes through our hearts, what we feel, placed characters in us accordingly. In this case, again, in a verse: There is not a single living being to come until the Day of Judgment whose doings We would not know. What is this? Knowing the secrets of the hearts, knowing what all people will do. Here too: Allah knows what you conceal and what you reveal.

Just as He knows what those to come until Judgment Day will conceal and reveal, for Allah there is no place where people could hide.

Even if you went, He says, to the remotest corner of the earth, if you shut yourselves in strong fortresses, left the world, went to the remotest corner of the heavens, We would still find you there. What does this mean? People — nowhere is this created universe, in no way, outside Allah's sight. Yes. That is why, what do they say? Allah Almighty is present and watching everywhere. Here is the verse. Allah knows what you conceal and what you reveal.

Allah Almighty, creating our souls, made a covenant with our souls at Kalû Belâ, and people's own wishes and desires He wrote for them as their destiny. While no person knows what will happen within his own destiny, Allah Almighty knows what all His creatures will do. In this respect, whether people conceal what they will do or reveal it, for Allah it is one. In Allah's sight it does not change. However, as long as people do not put into action what they conceal and reveal, they earn neither reward nor sin.
