Question:
The questioner says: In the saying of Allah the Exalted,[Al-Mulk 67:14], he asks: Is there a difference between al-Latif (the Subtle) and al-Khabir (the All-Aware)?
Answer:
Yes. Al-Latif is the One to whom nothing is hidden from His knowledge, no matter how fine or concealed a thing may be from people, for Allah[Al-Baqarah 2:270] (Glorified and Exalted is He). And al-Khabir is the One to whom nothing is hidden regarding the conditions of His servants, whether in the past, the future, or the present. Yes.
The questioner says: In the saying of Allah the Exalted,
while He is the Subtle, the Acquainted?
وَهُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُAnswer:
Yes. Al-Latif is the One to whom nothing is hidden from His knowledge, no matter how fine or concealed a thing may be from people, for Allah
indeed, Allah knows of it
فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُهُ
