﴿ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِهِۦ عِلْمًۭا ﴾

“[for] He knows all that lies open before men and all that is hidden from them, whereas they cannot encompass Him with their knowledge.”

(He knoweth) Allah knows ((all) that is before them) all that is before the angels regarding the matter of the Hereafter (and (all) that is behind them) and all that is behind them regarding the matter of this worldly life, (while they cannot compass it in knowledge) the angels know of that which is before them or behind them only in the measure that Allah teaches them.
