Sura An-Nisa

For example, in Sura 4 An-Nisa' (The Women), even read in translation, one gets the sense that this is God's guide to life and in intimate detail because an awareness and connection with the Absolute is the only reason for the Believer's life. God reckons all things. He is fully conscious of everything we do. He is forgiving and merciful – you don't have to worry about anyone else's behavior, worry about your own in the sight of God. God watches every action, every thought, behavior and intention. The text establishes the requisite mental and emotional attitude, the continuous exercise of self-observation and awareness, that will take the Believer further into the consciousness of God. "You shall remember God while standing, sitting or lying down." (Quran 4:103.) Through haunting repetition one is constantly reminded that:

God is omniscient. Most wise.

God is forgiver. Most merciful.

God is fully aware of everything you do.

God is Pardoner. Omnipotent.

God is Almighty – most wise.

God is in full control of all things.

He has taught you what you never knew.
