(And if all the trees in the earth were pens, and the sea) were ink, (with seven more seas to help it) and seven more seas were ink and were used to write the words of Allah and the knowledge of Allah, (the words of Allah could not be exhausted) the words and knowledge of Allah would not be exhausted; it is also said that this means: Allah's providence would not be exhausted. (Allah is Mighty) in His sovereignty and dominion, (Wise) in His command and decree.
- 31:2727
وَلَوْ أَنَّمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ أَقْلَامٌ وَالْبَحْرُ يَمُدُّهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ سَبْعَةُ أَبْحُرٍ مَا نَفِدَتْ كَلِمَاتُ اللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
If all the trees of the earth were pens and the oceans ink, with many more oceans for replenishing them, the colloquy of God would never come to end. He is indeed all-mighty and all-wise.
