87:8
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
Except as Allah wills. Surely, He knows what is open and what is hidden.
English - Five Volume Translation
2:34; 20:8; 21:111; 24:30.
Commentary:
The expression "as God wills", pertains only to matters of ordinary everyday life.
The words, "He knows what is manifest and what is hidden," mean that as God knew all the needs of man of which man himself was unconscious and which he was incapable of knowing, God provided those needs in the Quran, and so there could be no possibility of the Holy Prophet forgetting what was revealed to him.
