What Does the Quran Say About Privacy?

Privacy is mentioned in the Quran in these verses:

 

[5:94] O you who believe, God will test you with some game within reach of your hands and your arrows (during pilgrimage). God thus distinguishes those among you who observe Him in their privacy. Those who transgress after this have incurred a painful retribution.

[19:61] The gardens of Eden await them, as promised by the Most Gracious for those who worship Him, even in privacy. Certainly, His promise must come to pass.

[21:49] The ones who reverence their Lord, even when alone in their privacy, and they worry about the Hour.

[25:64] In the privacy of the night, they meditate on their Lord, and fall prostrate.

[35:18] No soul can carry the sins of another soul. If a soul that is loaded with sins implores another to bear part of its load, no other soul can carry any part of it, even if they were related. The only people to heed your warnings are those who reverence their Lord, even when alone in their privacy, and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat). Whoever purifies his soul, does so for his own good. To God is the final destiny.

[36:11] You will be heeded only by those who uphold this message, and reverence the Most Gracious – even when alone in their privacy. Give them good news of forgiveness and a generous recompense.

[50:33] They reverenced the Most Gracious, in their privacy, and came wholeheartedly.

[67:12] As for those who reverence their Lord, when alone in their privacy, they have attained forgiveness and a great recompense.
