3 Preface وَهُوَ اللَّهُ فِي السَّماواتِ وَفِي الأَرضِ ۖ يَعلَمُ سِرَّكُم وَجَهرَكُم وَيَعلَمُ ما تَكسِبونَYusuf AliAnd He is God in the heavens and on earth. He knoweth what ye hide, and what ye reveal, and He knoweth the (recompense) which ye earn (by your deeds).1It 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.
