The document discusses several Quranic verses about Allah's watchfulness over humanity. It notes that Allah sees Muhammad during night prayers and when people prostrate in prayer. Nothing is hidden from Allah's knowledge, whether on earth or in heaven. Allah knows what eyes see and what hearts conceal. His watchfulness entails his vast encompassing presence, though not physically, as he is above creation. People cannot be outside his authority.

2. Allah, the Exalted, says:
• "Who sees you (O Muhammad (‫))ﷺ‬ when you stand up (alone at
night for Tahajjud prayers). And your movements among those
who fall prostrate (to Allah in the five compulsory congregational
prayers)". (26:218,219)
• "And He is with you (by His Knowledge) wheresoever you may be".
(57:4)
• "Truly, nothing is hidden from Allah, in the earth or in the heaven".
(3:5)
• "Verily, your Rabb is Ever Watchful (over them)". (89:14)
• "Allah knows the fraud of the eyes, and all that the breasts
conceal". (40:19)

(tareeq) in a cave
• Allah is not on earth
• If we assume it we are denying his transcendence
• Know that ma’iyah is divided into many categories
• People hide from other but ignore the fact that Allah can see
them
