Quran-6:59 Surah Al-anam English Translation,Transliteration and Tafsir(Tafseer).

۞وَعِندَهُۥ مَفَاتِحُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ لَا يَعۡلَمُهَآ إِلَّا هُوَۚ وَيَعۡلَمُ مَا فِي ٱلۡبَرِّ وَٱلۡبَحۡرِۚ وَمَا تَسۡقُطُ مِن وَرَقَةٍ إِلَّا يَعۡلَمُهَا وَلَا حَبَّةٖ فِي ظُلُمَٰتِ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَا رَطۡبٖ وَلَا يَابِسٍ إِلَّا فِي كِتَٰبٖ مُّبِينٖ

Transliteration:( Wa 'indahoo mafaatihul ghaibi laa ya'lamuhaaa illaa Hoo; wa ya'lamu maa fil barri walbahr; wa maa tasqutu minw waraqatin illaa ya'lamuhaa wa laa habbatin fee zulumaatil ardi wa laa ratbinw wa laa yaabisin illaa fee Kitaabim Mubeen )

59. And with Him are the keys of the unseen. Only He knows (119) them. And He knows whatever is in the land and in the sea. And the leaf that falls, He knows it. Neither a grain is there in the darkness of the earth nor anything green or dry (120), which is not written in the Luminous Book (121).

Surah Al-Anam Ayat 59 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

119. In this, there is no negation of prophesying. Prophesying has been described in the following verses. It is totally wrong to use the verse to negate the Knowledge of the unseen for the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم.  If this be the case then it can be used against the rejectors themselves because they too have a limited knowledge of the unseen.

120. It is understood that every common and special thing is written on the Divine Tablet. This was not written, not because Allah Almighty feared the possibility of forgetting this, but its real purpose was to make all this known to His special servants whose sight is fixed on the Divine Tablet. The essence of this verse is that knowledge of the unseen is not acquired through a mathematical process or through one's own intelligence. This is the absolute ownership of Allah Almighty, He only grants this to whom He chooses.

By keys of the unseen is meant five types of knowledge which are outlined at the end of Surah Luqman beginning with "Undoubtedly with Allah is the knowledge of the Hour...." (S31:V34) because knowledge of these five things is the means of opening the doors of innumerable unseen events. For this reason, they are described as keys to the unseen.

121. The Divine Tablet is called the Luminous Book because it reveals the Knowledge of the Unseen to those special persons whose sight is fixed on it eg, the angels, the prophets, the saints etc. If everyone's sight was on it, it would not have been a Luminous Book. Hazrat Moulana Rumi says: "The Divine Tablet is in the vision of the saints, whatever is hidden is protected from all."
