Assuredly, Allah knows what they conceal and what they declare. Indeed, He does not like the arrogant.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

Truly, Allah knows the actions that these people conceal and He knows the actions they reveal. Nothing is hidden from Him and He will recompense them for that. He, may He be glorified, does not love those who are too proud to worship and submit to Him. Instead he detests such people intensely.
