مَا أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي أَنفُسِكُمْ إِلَّا فِي كِتَابٍ مِّن قَبْلِ أَن نَّبْرَأَهَا

In the verse, the word Kitâbكِتَابٍ signifies Divine Law. The verse means that everything is subject to a certain law of nature, and that the causes and cures of miseries and afflictions that befall individuals and nations have been mentioned in the Holy Qur’ân.
