everything else."Sam`" may mean: acceptance of and a favourable response to. It exists, for example, in atradition wherein the Messenger of Allah says, "Lord! I seek refuge with You against astatement which is not heard," meaning a supplication which does not receive His favourableresponse. It is also similar to one Muslims pronounce during their obligatory daily prayers:"Sami`a Allahu liman amidah," that is, Allah responds favourably to the pleas of those whopraise Him.The Almighty has said,Surely I am with you both: I do hear and see. (20:46) Or do they think that We do not hearwhat they conceal and their secret discourses? Aye! And Our messengers (angels) are withthem writing (everything) down. (43:80) Allah has indeed heard the plea of the [woman] whopleads to you about her husband. (58:1) And if they resolve to divorce, Allah is surelyHearing, Knowing. (2:227)One who comes to realize that Allah knows everything will safeguard his tongue againstuttering falsehood. He will always say what is right. One who realizes that Allah hears evenour thoughts will adopt the manners of one who watches over his conduct and who alwaysholds himself accountable for what he contemplates, says, or does. A servant of Allah oughtto know that Allah did not create the hearing faculty for him except so that he would listen tothe speech of Allah which He revealed unto His Prophet in order to benefit from it and to beguided by it. If a servant of Allah seeks to be close to his Lord by offering nawfil (optionalacts of adoration), he will be loved by Allah Who will then pour over his hearing of Hisdivine light, thus making his insight very sharp, so much so that such a person will be able tosee beyond the world of matter. If a servant of Allah remains straightforward in his worshipof Allah, continuously seeking to please Him, Allah will surely provide him with goodnessfrom Him and with divine light.28. "Al-Baseer"Allah has said, "He is with you wherever you are, and Allah sees whatever you do" (Qura'n,57:4). In language, seeing is achieved through the faculty of vision; it is the reflection of lighton what can be seen and its impression on the eyes. Seeing is also an insight, a discretion, aninnermost conviction. One who is baseer is one who sees deeply, who is knowledgeable, whois an expert. Also, to "see" means not to rush, but to contemplate, to be acquainted withthings, and to be firm in adhering to the creed.Al-Baseer sees everything, the apparent and the hidden, without using the faculty of vision.When applied to the Almighty, Glory to Him, vision receives the perfection whereby thequalities of anything that can be seen are realized. Al-Baseer fully knows every visible thing,
