The All-Hearing • The One Who Hears Every Sound, Every Whisper, and Every Unspoken Thought
✨ ROOT MEANING
Arabic root: س – م – ع (sīn • mīm • ʿayn)
| Word | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Samiʿa (سمع) | To hear, to listen with attention and comprehension |
| Samīʿ (سميع) | One who hears everything — clearly, fully, and without limitation |
| As-Samīʿ (السميع) | The One whose hearing is perfect, comprehensive, and uninterrupted — who hears all voices, languages, cries, thoughts, and silences in real time, without confusion or delay |
As-Samīʿ hears your words, your heartbeats, your silent du‘ā, and even what you cannot articulate yet.
📖 QUR’ANIC VERSE
📌 Surah Al-Baqarah 2:127
“And [mention] when Ibrāhīm and Ismāʿīl raised the foundations of the House [saying], ‘Our Lord, accept [this] from us. Indeed, You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing (As-Samīʿ, Al-ʿAlīm).’”
📚 Tafsir (Ibn Kathir, Al-Qurtubi, Al-Baghawi)**
- Ibrāhīm (عليه السلام) and Ismāʿīl were physically building the Kaʿbah, yet made du‘ā for acceptance — because action means nothing without Allah’s attention and mercy.
- They invoke As-Samīʿ to affirm:
- “You hear our prayer, our intention, and our breath while we work.”
- Even their quiet pleas were directed to the One who hears all things — from above the heavens to the depths of the soul
As-Samīʿ is not limited to words — He hears effort, sincerity, hesitation, and repentance.
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- You prayed with doubt. You whispered a need. You broke down with no words.
As-Samīʿ heard every bit of it — and recorded it as du‘ā.
📜 HADITH REFERENCE
📌 Sahih al-Bukhari 6616 / Muslim 2707
Narrated by Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him):
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Your Lord is not deaf nor absent. He is nearer to you than the neck of your mount.”
📚 Tafsir (An-Nawawi, Ibn Rajab)**
- This hadith confirms:
- As-Samīʿ is always listening — not delayed, not distracted
- His hearing is not like creation’s hearing: He does not forget, mishear, or miss anything, no matter how small
- When you raise your hands — or even just your thoughts — He hears
As-Samīʿ doesn’t need volume — He responds to sincerity.
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- You whispered something in frustration or hope — then saw a shift in life.
As-Samīʿ was already listening — and already responding.
🌍 EVIDENCE IN TODAY’S WORLD
1. You Prayed in Despair — and Found Unexpected Relief
- Not even loudly — but your heart cried.
That was As-Samīʿ — answering what didn’t even become words.
2. You Heard a Verse That Matched Your Du‘ā
- After praying, you opened the Qur’an or heard something that felt like a direct reply.
That’s As-Samīʿ — confirming He heard you, and He’s guiding you.
3. You Didn’t Ask — But Were Given What You Needed
- You were too broken to ask. But somehow, the answer came.
As-Samīʿ hears what the soul is too tired to say.
4. You Called Him by Name — and Felt Immediate Peace
- Saying “Yā Samīʿ” in du‘ā calmed you — even before you got what you asked for.
That’s the Name of the One who hears even your trembling voice as a beloved call.
❤️ EMOTIONAL ANCHORING
As-Samīʿ is the One who says:
“Speak — I hear. Whisper — I hear. Say nothing — I still hear.”
He:
- Hears the loud and the low
- Records every invocation
- Understands every dialect, emotion, and motive
- Never ignores, never forgets, never mistakes
You are never unheard.
And As-Samīʿ is never out of range.
🤲 PERSONALIZED DU‘A
(Inspired by Qur’an 2:127 and Hadith Bukhari 6616)
Not from the Prophet’s exact words — but drawn from authentic meanings
Yā Samīʿ,
I know You hear me — even when my words are broken.
Accept the whispers I don’t know how to say.
Let every silent hope be recorded by You, and every quiet du‘ā rise to Your throne.
And make my heart confident — that not a single breath goes unnoticed by You.
