The Holy Quran 42:12 — Surah Ash-Shuraa

Arabic text

لَهُۥ مَقَالِيدُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ يَبْسُطُ ٱلرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

Translation

To Him belongs the keys (control and knowledge) of the heavens and the earth. He increases (livelihood) sustenance for whoever He wills, and also decreases (for whom He wills). Undoubtedly, He has knowledge of everything (and He knows exactly who needs what at which time).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Allah is the Owner of all treasures: the keys of all treasures are in His hand; to Him alone belong the control and the authority to bestow from whichever treasure on whomever He wishes as much as He wishes. It is He alone Who gives provision to all living creatures, but He fixes the more or less according to His wisdom.
