Remember when you left your family early in the day to instal
the believers in their battle stations. Allah is All-Hearing, All-
Knowing. (Qur'an, 3:121)
They said, 'Did you do this to our gods, Ibrahim?' He said, 'No, this
one, the biggest of them, did it. Ask them if they are able to speak!'
They consulted among themselves and said, 'It is you yourselves
who are wrongdoers.' But then they relapsed back into their
disbelief: 'You know full well these idols cannot talk.' He said, 'Do
you then worship, instead of Allah, what cannot help or harm you
in any way? Shame on you and what you worship besides Allah!
Will you not use your intellect?' (Qur'an, 21:62-67)

THE STRATAGEMS OF THE DISBELIEVERS
AGAINST THE BELIEVERS
COME TO NOTHING
If something good happens to you, it galls them. If something bad
strikes you, they rejoice at it. But if you are steadfast and guard
against evil, their scheming will not harm you in any way. Allah
encompasses what they do. (Qur'an, 3:120)
They concocted their plots, but their plots were with Allah, even
if they were such as to make the mountains vanish. (Qur'an, 14:46)
Allah will defend those who believe. Allah does not love any
thankless traitor. (Qur'an, 22:38)
When those who do not believe were plotting against you to
imprison you or kill you or expel you: they were plotting and
Allah was plotting, but Allah is the Best of Plotters. (Qur'an, 8:30)
Those before them also plotted, and Allah came at their building
from the foundations and the roof caved in on top of them. The
punishment came at them from where they did not expect. (Qur'an,
16:26)
His Lord replied to him (Yusuf) and turned away from him their
guile and deviousness. He is the One Who Hears, the One Who
Knows. (Qur'an, 12:34)
