And He is the Near One to the thoughts and the glances; how much more so to the actions of the pillars (A discussion on the name al-Qarib, its attribute of nearness, and its meaning)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The author (may Allah have mercy on him) says:
"And He is the Watcher over the thoughts and the glances; how much more so over the actions of the pillars"
These are three things over which Allah the Exalted is a Watcher, meaning He observes and monitors them: "over the thoughts," which are what is in the hearts, and "the glances," which is the gaze of the eyes.
"How much more so over the actions of the pillars", such as words and deeds. So He, Glorified and Exalted is He, is a Watcher over everything; nothing is hidden from Him regarding any one of the children of Adam in any place. Rather, even regarding the humans, the jinn, and others, He is a Watcher, Glorified and Exalted is He, over everything. This is among the names of Allah.
