(Ayah 6) {ذٰلِكَ عٰلِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ …:} That is, the Lord who is running this entire system of creation and management, His knowledge is so vast that whatever is hidden from you or witnessed, past or present or future, everything is within His knowledge. His power is so boundless that He prevails over everyone, and His mercy is such that it encompasses everything. No one else possesses this knowledge, power, or mercy—whether human, jinn, angel, or any other creation—so why should anyone else be worshipped?

He is the Knower of the unseen and the seen, the All-Mighty [7], the Most Merciful.

[7] That is, the Being who can accomplish such great feats must necessarily possess unlimited knowledge. The essence and nature of everything must be within His knowledge, and nothing can be hidden from Him, nor can anything ever be concealed from Him. Furthermore, it is also necessary that He has such power that He can employ everything according to His will. And despite possessing such tremendous and overwhelming power, He is also merciful and compassionate towards His creation.
