Quran 15:21 — Al-Hijr, verse 21
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
There is not a thing whose storehouses are not with Us. We send it down only according to a well-defined measure:
وَإِنْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا عِنْدَنَا خَزَائِنُهُ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَعْلُومٍ
wa-in min shayin illā ʿindanā khazāinuhu wamā nunazziluhu illā biqadarin maʿlūmin
