  • وَمَا And not
  • تَسۡقُطُ falls
  • مِن of
  • وَرَقَةٍ any leaf
  • إِلَّا but
  • يَعۡلَمُهَا He knows it
  • وَلَا And not
  • حَبَّةٖ a grain
  • فِي in
  • ظُلُمَٰتِ the darkness[es]
  • ٱلۡأَرۡضِ (of) the earth
  • وَلَا and not

And with Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them except Him. And He knows what is on the land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls but that He knows it. And no grain is there within the darknesses of the earth and no moist or dry [thing] but that it is [written] in a clear record.
And with Him, exalted be He, are the keys of the Unseen, its treasure houses, or the paths that lead to knowledge of it; none but He knows them, and these are the five things mentioned in His saying: Surely God, He has knowledge of the Hour [and He sends down the rain and He knows what is in the wombs. And no soul knows what it has earned for the morrow; nor does any soul know in what land it will die. Truly God is Knowing, Aware, Q. 31:34], as reported by al-Bukhaaree. He knows what is, happening, on land, [in] the deserts, and in the waters, [in] the towns along the rivers; and not a leaf (min waraqatin: min is extra) falls, but He knows it. Not a grain in the shadows of the earth, nothing of wet or dry ([this entire clause] wa-laa habbatin fee zulumaati l-ardi wa-laa ratbin wa-laa yaabisin is a supplement to waraqatin, 'a leaf') but it is in a clear book, namely, the Preserved Tablet (al-lawh al-mahfooz). The exceptive clause [illaa fee kitaabin mubeen, 'but it is in a clear book'] constitutes an inclusive substitution for the previous exceptive clause [illaa ya'lamuhaa, 'but He knows it'].
