Allah's Knowledge (1st part)

"Verily, your Lord is the All-Knowing Creator."
Quran, The Rocky Tract
15:86)

Islamic belief is that Allah has complete knowledge of everything. Allah's knowledge is perfect and all-encompassing. No action takes place in the whole universe except by His will. He has power over all things and He is able to do everything. He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, the Most Kind and the Most Beneficent. We learn of Allah's total knowledge of everything in many verses in the Quran. One of Allah's names is 'The All-Knowing' as mentioned in the following verse of the Quran:

"It is Allah who has created seven heavens and of the earth the like thereof
(i.e. seven). His Command descends between them (heavens and earth), that you
may know that Allah has power over all things and that Allah surrounds all
things in (His) Knowledge." Quran, Divorce 65:12

When Muslims say that Allah is "with us" , they do not mean He is with us in person. In fact Allah is not inside nor subject to His creation, Allah is with us by His knowledge, sight and hearing. He knows everything that we do and He watches all of us extremely closely.

"And if all the trees on the earth were pens and the sea (were ink with which to
write), with the seven seas behind it to add to its (supply), yet the words of
Allah would not be exhausted. Verily Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. Quran,
Luqman 31:27
