Allah is near to man

Many people think Allah is far away. However, as stated in the Qur'an,
"...Surely your Lord encompasses the people with His knowledge..."
(Surat al-Isra': 60), He is very near. He sees and knows every aspect
of a human being, and hears every word he utters. He is knowledgeable
of even one's inner thoughts. This is related in the Qur'an as
follows:
We created man and We know what his own self whispers to him. We are
nearer to him than his jugular vein. (Surah Qaf: 16)
Allah is so near to man that He hears the prayer of everyone-even if
he prays inwardly-and it is He Who answers it:
If My servants ask you about Me, I am near. I answer the call of the
caller when he calls on Me. They should therefore respond to Me and
believe in Me so thathopefully they will be rightly guided. (Surat
al-Baqara: 186)
Allah knows what a person harbours in his heart. He knows whether he
engages in adeed to earn His consent, or to satisfy his own lower
soul. Allah reminds us that He knows our inner thoughts:
...Know that Allah knows what is in your selves, sobeware of Him! And
know that Allah is Ever-Forgiving, All-Forbearing. (Surat al-Baqara:
235)
Though you speak out loud, He knows your secrets and what is even more
concealed. (Surat Ta Ha: 7)
Allah's Messenger, the Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant
him peace) also reminded Muslims that when they prayed Allah is very
close to them by saying, "You are calling aHearer, One very close by;
The One Who you arecalling is closer to each one of you."(Al-Bukhari
and Muslim)
As He is with you at every moment, Allah is with you as you are
reading this article; He sees what you are doing and knows what you
arethinking. This fact is related in the Qur'an as follows:
Do you not see that Allahknows what is in the heavens and on the
Earth? Three men cannotconfer together secretly without Him being the
fourth of them, or five without Him being the sixth of them, or fewer
than that or more without Him being with them wherever they are.Then
He will inform them on the Day of Resurrection of what they did. Allah
has knowledge of all things. (Surat al-Mujadala: 7)
