(Ayah 18){ عٰلِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ:} By mentioning these attributes here, the purpose is to make one realize that it is Allah Almighty alone who is fully aware of the mutual affairs between husband and wife and between parents and children; people cannot know about them, because they remain apart from them. Therefore, each of them should always keep this Knower of the unseen and the seen before themselves and remain fearful of His grasp, because He is also Mighty and Wise.
