This is used once in the Qur’an to denote the watchful quality of God: “Is He who is Watchful over every soul as to what it earns [comparable to the idols]? And yet they ascribe partners to Allah...” (13:33) ‘Allam al-ghuyub ‘Allam al-ghuyub (علّام الغيوب): Literally meaning the Knower of all that is Unseen. This is mentioned 4 times in the Qur’an, such as in the following verse: “The day God will gather the apostles and say, ‘What was the response to you?’ They will say, ‘We have no knowledge.

Indeed You are Knower of all that is Unseen.’” (5:109) ‘Alim al-ghayb wa al-shahadah ‘Alim al-ghayb wa al-shahadah (عالم الغيب والشهادة) : Literally meaning Knower of the Unseen and the Sensible. This is mentioned 10 times in the Qur’an. One example is: “That is the Knower of the Sensible and the Unseen, the All-mighty, the All-merciful.” (32:6) ‘Alim al-ghayb ‘Alim al-ghayb (عالم الغيب): Literally meaning the Knower of the Unseen.

This is mentioned 3 times: twice in a general way and once in respect to the heavens and the earth. The following are examples of how the quality is used in various verses: “Knower of the Unseen, He does not disclose His Unseen to anyone, except to an apostle He approves of.

Then He dispatches a sentinel before and behind him so that He may ascertain that they have communicated the messages of their Lord, and He comprehends all that is with them, and He keeps count of all things.” (72:26 -28) and “Indeed God is the Knower of the Unseen of the heavens and the earth. Indeed He knows well what is in the breasts.” (35:38) God is not ghafil God is not ghafil (غافل) , that is, oblivious or unmindful.

This idea is mentioned 11 times in the Qur’an, like in the following instance: “Certainly We created above you the seven tiers and We have not been oblivious of creation.” (23:17) God is not nasiyy God is not nasiyy (نسيّ) , that is, forgetful. This idea is mentioned once in the Qur’an in the following verse: “We do not descend except by the command of your Lord.

To Him belongs whatever is before us and whatever is behind us and whatever is in between that, and your Lord is not forgetful.” (19:64) Mercifulness and compassion After the unity of God, the mercy and compassion of God seems to be the most important aspect of the Qur’anic image of Him. There are more attributes in this category than any other category and altogether they are by far the most often repeated characteristics of God in the Qur’an.
