THE ALLIANCE OF THE GOOD

In Secret Meetings They Take Action Against

the Good

The alliance of evil generally prefers night as the
opportune time to plot against the good. This is stated in
many verses in the Qur'an. That night is the time for the
wicked to congregate and implement their evil plans is stated
in the verses as follows:
They try to conceal themselves from people, but they
cannot conceal themselves from God. He is with them
when they spend the night saying things which are not
pleasing to Him. God encompasses everything they do.
(Surat an-Nisa': 108)
Arrogant towards it (the Qur'an), talking arrant
nonsense all night long. (Surat al-Muminun: 67)

In Surat an-Naml, God informs us about an event in the
past, where a gang of nine men who committed mischief in a
city where believers lived, and who at night would scheme in
secret to attack them. The relevant verses are the following:
There was a group of nine men in the city causing
corruption in the land and not putting things right.
They said, 'Let us make an oath to one another by God
that we will fall on him and his family in the night and
then say to his protector, "We did not witness the

destruction of his family and we are telling the truth."'
(Surat an-Naml: 48-49)
As the verses reveal, these people devised secretive and
malicious plans against believers but in return were
confronted by the plot God prescribed for them. The end of
those who harm the innocent and plot against them at night
