Al-Basir (The All-Seer) affirms that Allah sees every action, movement, and circumstance clearly, in darkness and in light alike. In the Quran, this Divine Name appears 42 times across 42 verses in 25 surahs, from Quran 2:96 (Surah Al-Baqarah) to Quran 84:15 (Surah Al-Inshiqaq).
Reflection: Living before Al-Basir brings comfort to those doing good unseen and restraint when tempted away from righteousness.

قل أؤنبئكم بخير من ذلكم للذين اتقوا عند ربهم جنات تجري من تحتها الأنهار خالدين فيها وأزواج مطهرة ورضوان من الله والله بصير بالعباد
Say, "Shall I inform you of better than that. For those who fear[ed], with their Lord, (are) Gardens flows from underneath them [the] rivers - abiding forever in it, and spouses pure and approval from Allah. And Allah (is) All-Seer of (His) slaves."
فإن حاجوك فقل أسلمت وجهي لله ومن اتبعن وقل للذين أوتوا الكتاب والأميين أأسلمتم فإن أسلموا فقد اهتدوا وإن تولوا فإنما عليك البلاغ والله بصير بالعباد
Then if they argue with you, then say, "I have submitted myself to Allah and (those) who follow me." And say to those who were given the Book, and the unlettered people, "Have you submitted yourselves?" Then if they submit then surely they are guided. But if they turn back then only on you (is) to [the] convey. And Allah (is) All-Seer of [His] slaves.
يا أيها الذين آمنوا لا تكونوا كالذين كفروا وقالوا لإخوانهم إذا ضربوا في الأرض أو كانوا غزى لو كانوا عندنا ما ماتوا وما قتلوا ليجعل الله ذلك حسرة في قلوبهم والله يحيي ويميت والله بما تعملون بصير
O you who believe[d]! (Do) not be like those who disbelieved and they said about their brothers when they traveled in the earth or they were fighting, "If they had been with us, not they (would have) died and not they would have been killed." So makes Allah that a regret in their hearts. And Allah gives life and causes death, and Allah of what you do (is) All-Seer.
هم درجات عند الله والله بصير بما يعملون
They (are in varying) degrees near Allah, and Allah (is) All-Seer of what they do.
