What the Earth Diminishes
قَدۡ عَلِمۡنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ مِنۡهُمۡۖ وَعِندَنَا كِتَٰبٌ حَفِيظُۢ ٤
We know that which the earth taketh of them, and with Us is a recording Book.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
We know what the earth diminishes of them, and with Us is a retaining record.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, thinking resurrection far comes from ignorance, since man’s reality and parts cannot be fully known; but Allah knows them all.
Reflect
Reflect that Allah knows every particle of you.
