The tafsir of Surah Mursalat verse 22 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Mursalat ayat 16 which provides the complete commentary from verse 16 through 28.
12. The words qadar im-malum do not only mean that the term is appointed and fixed but they also contain the sense that it is known to Allah alone. About child, no one knows by any means how many months, days, hours, minutes and seconds it will remain in the mothers womb and what will be its exact and precise time of birth. Allah alone has fixed a specific term for every child and He alone knows it. 2
