'''Omniscience''' (pronounced /ɒmˈnɪsiəns/)[1] (or Omniscient Point-of-View in writing) is the capacity to know everything '''infinite'''ly, or at least everything that can be known about a [[character]] including [[thoughts]], [[feelings]], life and the [[universe]], etc. In [[monotheism]], this ability is typically attributed to [[God]]. The God of the [[Bible]] is often referred to as "The Great [[I AM|I Am]]," among other similar names, which also incorporates His [[omnipresence]] and [[omnipotence]]. This [[concept]] is included in the [[Koran|Qur'an]], where God is called "Al-'aleem" on multiple occasions. This is the infinite form of the verb "alema" which means to know. In Hinduism, God is referred to as sarv-gyaata (omniscient), sarv-samarth (omnipotent) and sarv-vyapt (omnipresent) gyaata (knowing).
