Page 44 - The Moral Values of the Qur'an
P. 44
“Mighty indeed were the plots which they made, but
their plots were (well) within the sight of Allah, even though
they were such as to shake the hills!” (Surah Ibrahim,
14:46)
While unbelievers plot against believers, in reality
Allah "draws them near to destruction by degrees
from whence they know not." (Surat al-A’raf, 7:182).
They suppose that they are superior to the believers
and can easily beat them. However, Allah is on the
believers’ side and His Power, Glory and Greatness
are manifest to them. The Qur’an expresses this truth,
which cannot be comprehended by the hypocrites, as
follows:
“They are the ones who say, ‘Spend nothing on those
who are with Allah’s Messenger, to the end that they may
disperse.’ To Allah belong the treasures of the heavens and
the earth; but the Hypocrites understand not. They say, ‘If
we return to Medina, surely the more honourable will expel
therefrom the meaner.’ But honour belongs to Allah and His
Messenger, and to the Believers; but the Hypocrites know
not.”(Surat al-Munafiqoon, 63:7-8)
This is definitely an unchangeable rule. Believers,
in accordance with the verse, “O you who believe!
Take your precautions...” (Surat an-Nisa, 4:71), shall
always be careful and cautious of unbelievers, but
feel the comfort of the above divine rule.
