Treasuries
وَإِن مِّن شَيۡءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَآئِنُهُۥ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِقَدَرࣲ مَّعۡلُومࣲ ٢١
And there is not a thing but with Us are the stores thereof. And we send it not down save in appointed measure.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
There is nothing but that with Us are its treasuries, and We send it down only in a known measure.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, worldly wealth is finite while divine power is infinite.
Reflect
Ask for your needs from the Owner of infinite treasuries.
