Speaking about the name of Allah, the All-Knowing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He, Mighty and Majestic, says: [Al-Anfal 8:61] The All-Knowing means the One possessing vast, comprehensive knowledge of what is in the heavens and what is on the earth.

You have not memorized the Qur'an, so rest. Please.
