The phenomenon of surveillance has become one of the distinguishing features of today's societies. Surveillance, which first emerged as a panoptic prison design in its modern form, has chanced with the coming of computers and cameras into our lives, and has been moved to quite advanced dimensions with the addition of "Data Surveillance". We call this type of surveillance as “human surveillance.” If human surveillance is a paradigm, it is clear that one of the aims of this paradigm is the desire to see and know everything, especially about human beings. This reminds us of a familiar belief in God, who sees and knows everything. We might call this kind of belief in God as “divine surveillance.” Divine surveillance is based on religious beliefs that God watches over and records everything that happens in the universe and all human activities. This belief is particularly strong in monotheistic religions. Does human surveillance have a religious basis? This is the main question of the study. Theologically, human surveillance is not the same as divine surveillance. But, according to Lyon, one of the theorists of the surveillance society, the source of human surveillance design is “the belief in God who sees everything” in the Psalms. In this context, surveillance is a redesigned and globalized version of the Christian and Judaic belief in the "All-Seeing God" politically. Although it was designed with the inspiration from a monotheistic and sacred source, it can be applied in all societies as if it had no sacred source. This is related to the fact that it is highly secularized. Although the belief in the "All-Seeing God" in the monotheistic religions is similar to each other, it seems very difficult to establish a natural link between the human surveillance and belief in the "All-Seeing Allah" in Islam. Because, there is no historical and sociological relationship between the two types of surveillance. The reason for the descriptive similarity between the two is not that Islam inspires human surveillance, but that monotheistic religions have common theological roots. Though, there are empirical findings that there is a psychological connection between the human surveillance and the belief in the "All-Seeing God" and these findings include those related to Muslims. But even if we assume that this empirical results are completely correct, it can only be used to explain the issue from a psychological point of view. However, surveillance is designed as a political tool, and the inspiration for this design is the Psalms, not the Qur'an. Nevertheless, the Qur'an can be a starting point in terms of surveillance ethics. The verse, “…Do not search for each other's faults and privacy…” is important in this regard. The study also addresses “data surveillance” and argues that people in the position of “masters of data” act like “Artificial Gods”. It relates this to the story of Nimrod mentioned in the Qur'an. Nimrod's attitude of "I also kill and resurrect" shows that he acts like an “Artificial God”. He designed this behavior as a political discourse. He didn't need to have the power to kill and resurrect the entire universe to be perceived as a “god” politically. It was enough just that he had the power to kill whoever he wanted in his own society. Indeed, Nimrod was glorified like a god among his society. Just like this, it is not necessary for the "masters of the data" to collect the information of the entire universe in order to be perceived as "god". It is enough for them to collect only some of the data belonging to people. Nowadays especially when global epidemics are talked about, these "Artificial Gods" have been talked about a lot. Moreover, in the social consciousness, it is seen that there is a tendency to glorify their "false deity". The data of the study were collected through literature review and analyzed with a descriptive approach. The basic data used for Islam are the relevant verses of the Qur'an. A comparison method was also used to reveal the relationship between the belief in the "All-Seeing Allah" in Islam and human surveillance systems
