The Holy Quran 50:16 — Surah Qaf

Arabic text

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِۦ نَفْسُهُۥ ۖ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ ٱلْوَرِيدِ

Translation

Verily, We have created man, We are aware of the (evil) whispers that enter his heart (soul) and We are closer to him than his jugular vein. (We know him better than himself.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Allah knows even the whisperings of the heart: that is, We are aware of his every word and deed, so much so that We even know the whisperings and passing thoughts that go through his heart. اَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ ۭ وَهُوَ اللَّطِيْفُ الْخَبِيْرُ (“Does the One who created not know, when He is the Subtle, the All-Aware?”).
