Al-Khabeer

It means that Allah is acquainted with all information about everything. Allah knows the minutest details and the finest mysteries which lie hidden in minds of people at the conscience and sub-conscience level as well as about the other creatures and creations. Nothing is hidden from Allah in the heavens and in the depth of the earth as well as in between them. Allah knows about all actions that a being performs in the open or secret. Allah knows about the hunger of a small insect hidden inside a rock and Allah provides it sustenance therein. So this name Al-Khabeer is mainly related with the knowledge of all hidden secrets. The name Al-Aleem is already explained. Allah’s knowledge encompasses everything externally and internally and nothing can escape from it. Allah has the count of everything and every being as Allah said in surah Maryam verse 94, its translation is:

94. Verily, He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting.

***********************************************************************************

These two beautiful names of Allah Almighty (Al-lateef, Al-Khabeer) came together in many places in the Holy Quraan. The translation of some of the verses is:

Surah Al-An’aam103;

103.Vision perceives Him not, but He perceives [all] vision; and He is the Subtle,the Acquainted.
******************************************************************************
(I, love this verse too much! It means that Allah can see each and every eye and look (vision), also Allah knows the intention at the back of every look, while so many looks (numerous eyes) cannot see Allah, ——Allaho Akbar!!!)

SurahAl-Hajj 63;

63. See you not that Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky, and then the earth becomes green? Verily, Allah is the Most Kind and Courteous, Well-Acquainted with all things.

SurahLuqmaan 16;

16. [And Luqman said], “O my son, indeed if something ( wrong, sinful) should be the weight of a mustard seed and should be within a rock or [anywhere] in the heavens or in the earth, Allah will bring it forth. Indeed, Allah is Subtle and Acquainted.
*************************************************************************************

Another translation is:

(31:16) (Luqman said):²⁷ “Son, Allah will bring forth²⁸ everything even if it be as small as the grain of a mustard seed even though it be hidden inside a rock or (anywhere) in the heavens or earth. Allah is Most Subtle, All-Aware.

**********************************************************************************

Exp. note 28:

28. That is, nothing can escape Allah’s knowledge and His grasp. A seed in the rock may be hidden for you, but it is known to Allah. A particle in the heavens may be very distant for you, but for Allah it is very near. A thing lying in the layers of the earth may be lying in darkness for you but for him it is in full light. Therefore, you cannot do anything good or bad, anywhere or any time, which may remain hidden from Allah. He is not only aware of it, but when the time for accountability comes, He will place before you a full record of each act of yours.

********************************************************************** 
Here Luqmaan advised his son to be careful about his duties to Allah and protect him self from all sins.
