With Him are the keys of the unseen—no one knows them except Him.1 And He knows what is in the land and sea. Not even a leaf falls without His knowledge, nor a grain in the darkness of the earth or anything—green or dry—but is ˹written˺ in a perfect Record.2

I’m looking through the window at leaves swaying in the wind, and this ayah is speaking to me so loudly. My Lord’s knowledge is so mind-blowing!
Let me just zoom in on one leaf like He does in this ayah, as He knows not only the whole inventory of trees on the planet but every leaf upon each tree. His words here ('ma…min…illa') emphasise the absolute impossibility of any one leaf escaping His attention and perfect awareness.

Be optimistic...
'And not a leaf falls without his knowledge
What a power, strength, and all-encompassing knowledge.
'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.'
Even the grain that sprouts in any place, even in the dark, He knows it and it only comes forth by His knowledge.
And then you say: My worry is great and my problem has no solution..?!
Be with God.

I was traveling somewhere a few days ago, and we were passing along a road lined with trees on both sides. Which was subhanALLAH, truly a beautiful view. So, as I was taking in that scenery, looking at the trees, I started thinking about the leaves… so many that the idea of counting them was unimaginable.. It felt impossible. And at that moment, the following ayah came to my mind:

A few weeks ago well before autumn, I was standing in my garage looking out to the front yard. I saw one single leaf falling from the tree nearby. It slowly floated down and landed on the grass.
I remembered this ayat and thought to myself
'That very leaf was recorded in a record and God is fully aware of its size, its color and the time it broke off of the tree. And He alone is aware of the factors which caused it to fall off long before its...See more

Having both fear and hope feels kinda strange sometimes.
You can have great comfort in knowing that Allah ﷻ enumerates everything from the leaves falling on the ground to your tears falling on your prayer rug.
“Not a leaf falls but that He knows it.” (6:59)
But then there’s great discomfort in knowing He counts your transgressions and ingratitude. Then comfort again in knowing He counts your istighfar and repentance.

To think that not a leaf falls except that Allah knows of it and allowed it to fall is a very comforting concept.
So Allah decreed for my mother to pass away at this age, a this time. Perhaps if it was a couple years earlier I would have reacted differently and I would have not appreciated my mother as much. And perhaps if it was a couple years later we would have much more to be held accountable for. So her passing away at this time may be a ...See more

Today, I was at a restaurant with my family. My chair faced a tree, and suddenly, a leaf fell. The place was alive — conversations flowing from every table, the laughter of children echoing through the air — a pleasing chaos. And in the midst of it all, a single leaf fell.

The Profound Impact of Thoughtful Gestures and Life’s Lessons
