The Thunder · Madinah · Juz 13 · Mushaf page 250 of 604

ٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ مَا تَحۡمِلُ كُلُّ أُنثَىٰ وَمَا تَغِيضُ ٱلۡأَرۡحَامُ وَمَا تَزۡدَادُۚ وَكُلُّ شَيۡءٍ عِندَهُۥ بِمِقۡدَارٍ ٨

English translation (Saheeh International)

Allāh knows what every female carries1 and what the wombs lose [prematurely] or exceed.2 And everything with Him is by due measure.

  1. With absolute knowledge inclusive of every aspect of the fetus' existence.
  2. Beyond their normal period of pregnancy and/or the number of fetuses therein.

Brief commentary

Allah knows what every female bears in her womb. He knows everything about it. He knows about any shrinking, swelling, health or illness that occurs in the womb. By Him, may He be glorified, everything is determined with a measure that will neither decrease nor increase.
