Al-Khabir, the All-Aware.

Al-Khabir (الْخَبِيْرُ) means The All-Aware. It is name 31 in the well-known list of the 99 Names of Allah. Al-Khabīr knows the inner reality of things, not just what shows. He is fully aware of every intention and every hidden deed.

The root and its meaning

Al-Khabir comes from the Arabic root خ ب ر (kh-b-r), which carries the sense of inner, detailed knowledge.

Where it is in the Quran

Al-Khabīr is often paired with Al-Laṭīf or Al-Ḥakīm.

Surah Al-Mulk 67:14

أَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَهُوَ ٱللَّطِيفُ ٱلْخَبِيرُ

Alaa ya'lamu man khalaq wa huwal lateeful khabeer

Does He who created not know, while He is the Subtle, the Acquainted?

Quran 67:14. Arabic: Uthmani text (Tanzil). English: Sahih International.

Surah Al-Hashr 59:18

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَلْتَنظُرْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍۢ ۖ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ

Yaaa ayyuhal lazeena aamanut taqul laa; waltanzur nafsum maa qaddamat lighadiw wattaqual laah; innal laaha khabeerum bimaa ta'maloon

O you who have believed, fear Allah. And let every soul look to what it has put forth for tomorrow - and fear Allah. Indeed, Allah is Acquainted with what you do.

Quran 59:18. Arabic: Uthmani text (Tanzil). English: Sahih International.

Calling on Allah by this Name

Allah says: "And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them" (7:180). Begin your dua with يَا خَبِيْرُ (Yā Khabīr) and ask for what fits its meaning. For example: "Yā Khabīr, You know what is inside me, so set it right."
