38. Surely Allah is the Knower of the unseen things of the heavens and the earth. He knows well even the secrets [42] of the hearts.
[42] That is, He knows very well about those inhabitants of Hell who are crying out for help, that even now they are uttering lies. Their very nature is such that even if they were sent back to the world, they would never refrain from their wickedness and mischief, as stated in Surah Al-An'am: ﴿وَلَوْرُدُّوْا لَعَادُوْا لِمَا نهُوْا عَنْهُ وَإنَّهُمْ لَكَاذِبُوْنَ﴾ [6: 28]
