6. [al-Anam, Cattle Mecca 55]

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:

وَهُوَ اللّهُ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَفِي الأَرْضِ ...

6: 3. And He is Allah in the heavens and on earth.

...يَعْلَمُ سِرَّكُمْ وَجَهرَكُمْ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُونَ ﴿٣﴾

He knoweth what ye hide, and what ye reveal,

and He knoweth the (recompense) which ye earn (by your deeds).

C838. It is folly to suppose that God only reigns in the heavens. He also reigns on earth. He knows all our secret thoughts and motives, and the real worth of all that is behind what we care to show.

It is by our deeds that He judges us; for our deeds, whether good or evil we shall get due recompense in due time.

Pickthall’s Version:

6: 3

Pickthall He is Allah in the heavens and in the earth. He knoweth both your secret and your utterance, and He knoweth what ye earn.
