And some of these tests are very challenging. And I feel that as humans we tend to implore a little more when we’re being tested. But does God really know you?
[6:61] He is Supreme over His creatures, and He appoints guards to protect you.
[11:6] There is not a creature on earth whose provision is not guaranteed by GOD. And He knows its course and its final destiny. All are recorded in a profound record.
God knows you…
[11:56] “I have put my trust in GOD, my Lord and your Lord. There is not a creature that He does not control. My Lord is on the right path.
[17:30] For your Lord increases the provision for anyone He chooses, and reduces it. He is fully Cognizant of His creatures, Seer.
[25:58] You shall put your trust in the One who is Alive―the One who never dies―and praise Him and glorify Him. He is fully Cognizant of His creatures’ sins.
God knows you…
[29:60] Many a creature that does not carry its provision, GOD provides for it, as well as for you. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
[42:19] GOD is fully aware of all His creatures; He provides for whomever He wills. He is the Powerful, the Almighty.
[23:17] We created above you seven universes in layers, and we are never unaware of a single creature in them.
God knows you…
There are 98 verses that have the phrase “God is fully aware of …”
For instance, He is aware of the disbelievers (2:19), the wicked (2:95), the righteous (3:115), the innermost intention (4:63), and of course, all things (9:115 et.al). He is “fully Cognizant” of His worshipers (17:96), His creatures (17:30), and everything you do (2:234, etc.).
God knows you…
[34:3] Those who disbelieve have said, “The Hour will never come to pass!” Say, “Absolutely―by my Lord―it will most certainly come to you. He is the Knower of the future. Not even the equivalent of an atom’s weight is hidden from Him, be it in the heavens or the earth. Not even smaller than that, or larger (is hidden). All are in a profound record.”
[2:255] GOD: there is no other god besides Him, the Living, the Eternal. Never a moment of unawareness or slumber overtakes Him. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who could intercede with Him, except in accordance with His will? He knows their past, and their future. No one attains any knowledge, except as He wills. His dominion encompasses the heavens and the earth, and ruling them never burdens Him. He is the Most High, the Great.
[10:61] You do not get into any situation, nor do you recite any Quran, nor do you do anything, without us being witnesses thereof as you do it. Not even an atom’s weight is out of your Lord’s control, be it in the heavens or the earth. Nor is there anything smaller than an atom, or larger, that is not recorded in a profound record.
God knows you…
[50:16] We created the human, and we know what he whispers to himself. We are closer to him than his jugular vein.
[8:24] O you who believe, you shall respond to GOD and to the messenger when he invites you to what gives you life. You should know that GOD is closer to you than your heart, and that before Him you will be summoned.
God knows you…
[6:3] He is the one GOD in the heavens and the earth.
He knows your secrets and your declarations, and He knows everything you earn.
[6:60] He is the One who puts you to death during the night, and knows even the smallest of your actions during the day. He resurrects you every morning, until your life span is fulfilled, then to Him is your ultimate return. He will then inform you of everything you had done.
[17:54-55] Your Lord knows you best. According to His knowledge, He may shower you with mercy, or He may requite you. We did not send you to be their advocate. Your Lord is the best knower of everyone in the heavens and the earth.
God knows you…
So, as we try to navigate this world, this matrix, which we know is an illusion, with all of its many blessings to keep us content and appreciative of God, and all of its distractions and challenging tests, which are uniquely designed for us by God as individuals, we can take comfort knowing that God knows us as individuals and that we can have a deeply personal relationship with Him 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
[2:186] When My servants ask you about Me, I am always near. I answer their prayers when they pray to Me. The people shall respond to Me and believe in Me, in order to be guided.
[22:15] If anyone thinks that GOD cannot support him in this life and in the Hereafter, let him turn completely to (his Creator in) heaven, and sever (his dependence on anyone else). He will then see that this plan eliminates anything that bothers him.

[53:32] ... He has been fully aware of you since He initiated you from the earth, and while you were embryos in your mothers’ bellies. Therefore, do not exalt yourselves; He is fully aware of the righteous.
