Explanatory Note
God certainly tells the truth! Does anyone who has had the privilege of knowing all these facts, meanings and feelings, experienced them to the full and lived through them in this present world ever feel that he has missed out on anything? Conversely, what does the one who misses out on all these gain, even though he may live in comfort and luxury? He may eat as he pleases, but animals also eat, although animals are better off because by their nature they submit to their Lord and turn towards their Creator.
God certainly knows the hidden reality of the heavens and the earth; and God sees all that you do. (Verse 18)
The One who knows all that is hidden in the heavens and the earth also knows what is hidden in people's innermost souls. He knows people's feelings and sees what they do. He does not derive His knowledge from the words they say, but from the feelings they harbour in their hearts and the actions that confirm their feelings.
Thus we come to the conclusion of this surah, comprising 18 verses, but delineating the features of a noble and pure world, outlining great truths and establishing them in people's inner consciences.
