“Allah
knows what is in every heart.” (Al Mulk: 13)
Lately, I’m
attached to the phrase “Allah knows” once over again (surely can’t get over it).
Been an avid admirer of this beautiful phrase and the admiration only getting
stronger over time. There are a lot of verses in the holy Al Quran which described it.
Allah knows every secret even the most hidden one. Nothing in the earth and in
the hereafter is hidden from Him. Whatever happens in this earth, even every
fallen leaf, with His knowledge. Only Allah knows the unseen. Verily, nothing
escapes His knowledge no matter how tiny it is.
He is aware of
all that we do. He sees our struggle in each and every situation. He knows our
effort when nobody knows. He already knew what we are longing for yet still listens to our prayer. He never leaves us
even for a blink of an eye, for worse or better. He acknowledges the time we
silently feel so wounded and broken. He knows the hidden tears behind our eyes.
He knows how hard we try to smile while the sorrow takes over our hearts. He knows how much exactly our hearts ache. He knows how tired our mind and soul are. He
understands our confusion as we feel so lost in the middle of a catastrophe. Indeed
He’s The All-Knowing.
But hey, Allah
knows all the burdens we bear. He knows what the hearts conceal. No matter how lonely we think we are, Allah
accompanies us in an incomparably near distance. He’s closer than our jugular
vein. For that, O ya Allah, remind us that You’re always there for us.
The knowledge
that Allah knows our hardship is sufficient to make us calm and composed
conquering the difficulties. The feeling of knowing He knows and keeps a watch over
us is the best medicine for every pain. Allah knows what is best for us
and when it is best for us to have it. Allah knows—and that should be
enough.
Ya Aaliim, You
know how much pains and hardships my bruised heart has gone through. Please guide me, help me go through them,
My Lord.
