The answer

The verses stipulate that Allah Almighty commands the angels to copy from the Preserved Tablet (Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz) on the Night of Decree (Laylat al-Qadr) whatever will occur in that year, including provisions, lifespans, and everything that happens. No one knows the unseen except Allah, but He informs whomever He wills among His creation of whatever He wills, and He has informed the angels of the details of what will happen during the year. Some scholars mentioned that Allah commands the recording angels to take a copy of what pertains to each angel from those scrolls, but there is no known basis for this.
