The Holy Quran 11:5 — Surah Hud

Arabic text

أَلَآ إِنَّهُمْ يَثْنُونَ صُدُورَهُمْ لِيَسْتَخْفُوا۟ مِنْهُ ۚ أَلَا حِينَ يَسْتَغْشُونَ ثِيَابَهُمْ يَعْلَمُ مَا يُسِرُّونَ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

Translation

Behold! Verily they (some people) turn their chests so that they may hide from Him. Behold! (Even) When they wear their clothes (thinking that they are hiding themselves from Allaah), He knows what they hide as well as what they disclose. Undoubtedly, He has knowledge of the secrets of their (inner) hearts (their thoughts and intentions).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

In اِلَى اللّٰهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ (“To Allah shall you be returned”) it has been made known that all, offenders and non-offenders alike, must appear before Allah.
