Divine Record-Keeping

قَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا تَنقُصُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَعِندَنَا كِتَـٰبٌ حَفِيظٌۢ

We know what the earth diminishes [i.e., consumes] of them, and with Us is a retaining record.

وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَـٰهُ كِتَـٰبًا

But all things We have enumerated in writing.

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَـٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ

No! Indeed, the record of the righteous is in ʿilliyyūn.
