Translation (Sahih International)

No disaster strikes upon the earth or among yourselves except that it is in a register before We bring it into being - indeed that, for Allah, is easy -

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Everything that affects Mankind, is duly measured and destinedAllah reminds of His measuring and deciding the destiny of all things before He created the creation,مَآ أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ فِى الاٌّرْضِ وَلاَ فِى أَنفُسِكُمْ(No calamity occurs on the earth nor in yourselves) meaning, `there is nothing that touches you or happens in existence,'إِلاَّ فِى كِتَـبٍ مِّن قَبْلِ أَن نَّبْرَأَهَآ(but it is inscribed in the Book of Decrees before We bring it into existence.
