Tafsir of Verse 7, Surah Taa-Haa

وَإِن تَجْهَرْ بِٱلْقَوْلِ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ وَأَخْفَى

English Translation

And if you speak aloud - then indeed, He knows the secret and what is [even] more hidden.

English Transliteration

Wain tajhar bialqawli fainnahu yaAAlamu alssirra waakhfa

Tafsir of Verse 7

Be thou loud in thy speech, yet surely He knows the secret and that yet more hidden.

If thou pronounce the word aloud, (it is no matter): for verily He knoweth what is secret and what is yet more hidden.

يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ‌ وَأَخْفَى (Knows the secret and what is even more hidden - 20:7). سِرّ (Sirr: Secret) means something which a man hides in his heart and which is not known to anyone else and ) اخفٰی (what is more hidden) means a thought which has not even formed in his mind and will take shape later on. Allah is fully aware of what ideas a man conceals in his heart at a particular moment and what thoughts he will entertain in the future, while the person concerned himself does not know what thoughts will come to his mind in the days to come.
