عَـٰلِمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِ ٱلْكَبِيرُ ٱلْمُتَعَالِ
AA a limu alghaybi wa al shshah a dati alkabeeru almutaAA a l i
He knows all that is beyond the reach of a created being's perception as well as all that can be witnessed by a creature's senses or mind20 - the Great One, the One far above anything that is or could ever be!21
  - Mohammad Asad

See surah {6}, note [65].

God's attribute al-muta'al, which occurs in the Qur'an only in this one instance, denotes His infinite exaltedness above anything existing or potential; also, according to Zamakhshari, above anything that could be circumscribed by human definitions. (See in this connection the last sentence of 6:100 and the corresponding note [88].)

He has perfect knowledge of both the visible and the invisible. He is the Great, the Most High.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
'He is the' Knower of the seen and the unseen- the All-Great, Most Exalted.
  - Mustafa Khattab
He is the Knower of the invisible and the visible, the Great, the High Exalted.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
He knoweth the Unseen and that which is open: He is the Great the Most High. 1814
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

A verse of matchless rhythm in Arabic.
