IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[15:21]
For no single thing exists that does not have its source with Us; and nought do We bestow from on high unless it be in accordance with a measure well-defined.

* v.21 : Lit., “but with Us are its storehouses.”
* Lit., “and We do not send it down [i.e., “create it”] otherwise than according to a measure known [to Us]”: that is, in accordance with the exigencies of God’s plan as such and with the function which any particular thing or phenomenon is to have within that plan.
