The Holy Quran 57:22 — Surah Al-Hadid

Arabic text

مَآ أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ إِلَّا فِى كِتَـٰبٍ مِّن قَبْلِ أَن نَّبْرَأَهَآ ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ

Translation

Every calamity that afflicts you on earth (such as earthquakes and other disasters) and in yourselves (such as diseases and anxiety) is recorded in the Book (the "Lowhul Mahfoodh") before We even bring it about. This is certainly easy for Allaah.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Everything is written in the Preserved Tablet: every general calamity that comes upon a land, for example famine, earthquake and the like, and every misfortune that befalls you yourselves, for example illness and the like, is all determined from eternity in the knowledge of Allah and written in the Preserved Tablet (al-Lawh al-Mahfuz).
