What if the thing you're trying hardest to hide is already completely known to Allah?
In this episode of Quran Conversations, Dalia Mogahed is joined by Imam Muhammad Magid to reflect on verses 110–111 of Surah TaHa.These verses shift our attention to two profound realities: Allah’s infinite knowledge and humanity’s complete humility before Him on the Day of Judgment. Allah knows what came before us, what lies ahead of us, and everything in between—while our own knowledge remains limited and incomplete.
Together, Dalia and Imam Magid explore what it means to be truly known by Allah, the power of naming and understanding our experiences, and why the Day of Judgment is ultimately a day of complete exposure, accountability, and justice.

Throughout the conversation, Dalia and Imam Magid reflect on the relationship between knowledge, accountability, identity, and mercy. They explore how the Qur’an calls us to see ourselves honestly, trust Allah’s wisdom, and prepare for the day when every illusion falls away and only truth remains.
