The Holy Quran 35:38 — Surah Fatir

Arabic text

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَـٰلِمُ غَيْبِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

Translation

Verily Allaah has knowledge of the unseen things of the heavens and the earth. He certainly has knowledge of the secrets of the heart (and is therefore in a perfect position to decide whether people need to be rewarded or punished).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Allah knows what is in the hearts: that is, He knows all the open and hidden states and deeds of His servants and the secrets of their hearts. No one's intention and capacity are hidden from Him, and He deals [with each] accordingly. He also knows that those who are now crying out, “Let us go, we will not commit such a fault again,” are liars in their claim.
