The Holy Quran 19:64 — Surah Maryam

Arabic text

وَمَا نَتَنَزَّلُ إِلَّا بِأَمْرِ رَبِّكَ ۖ لَهُۥ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا وَمَا خَلْفَنَا وَمَا بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ ۚ وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ نَسِيًّا

Translation

(When Rasulullaah ﷺ requested Jibra'eel to visit him more often, Allaah instructed Jibra'eel to reply by saying,) "We (angels) descend (from the heavens) only by the command of your Rabb (we cannot come and go when we please). To Him belongs (He has control of) whatever is before us (whatever times and places lay ahead of us), whatever is behind us (whatever times and places we have passed by) and whatever is between the two. Your Rabb never forgets (and will send to you all the revelation that you are due to receive)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

وقل - يا جبريل - لمحمد: وما نتنزل - نحن الملائكة - من السماء إلى الأرض إلا بأمر ربك لنا، له ما بين أيدينا مما يستقبل من أمر الآخرة، وما خلفنا مما مضى من الدنيا، وما بين الدنيا والآخرة، فله الأمر كله في الزمان والمكان، وما كان ربك ناسيًا لشيء من الأشياء.
