The Holy Quran 40:20 — Surah Ghafir

Arabic text

وَٱللَّهُ يَقْضِى بِٱلْحَقِّ ۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ لَا يَقْضُونَ بِشَىْءٍ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْبَصِيرُ

Translation

Allaah passes judgement with justice (because He is The Most Just). Those (gods) that they (the Mushrikeen) worship besides Allaah cannot pass judgement in any affair (because they have no powers). Verily, only Allaah is the All Hearing, the All Seeing (and therefore Only He is capable of passing sound judgement).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Allah knows the secrets of hearts and the treachery of eyes: that is, if someone, escaping people’s notice, stealthily casts a glance at someone, or looks out of the corner of his eye, or forms some intention in his heart, or an intention or thought about something occurs to him — Allah knows every one of these and judges with justice.
