Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Supplies for All Things are with AllahAllah tells us that He is the Owner of all things, and that everything is easy for Him. He has the supplies for all things with Him.وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُ إِلاَّ بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ(and We do not send it down but in a known measure.) meaning, as He wills and as He wants. Doing so out of His great wisdom and mercy towards His servants, in a way that He is under no obligation to do. But He has decreed mercy for Himself.
