The Dark Clan

you: they were plotting and God was plotting,
but God is the Best of Plotters. (Qur'an, 8: 30)
There is no doubt that those who believe, who are in
the service of God and engaged in ideological warfare
against irreligious philosophies may come up against these
kinds of conspiracy. It is God's will that the believers will

have to overcome numerous tests, just as the Muslims of
the past did. For all those who are genuine in their faith in
God, these conspiracies are an opportunity in which there
is much good for them. This is the perspective from which
the Muslims see the activities of the dark clan. The believ-

ers are also very well aware of the fact that God is witness
to everything and that no one can plan conspiracies out-
side of His knowledge or carry them out, even if they are
certain about their total secrecy. God has revealed that He
is the All-Knowing:
Do you not see that God knows what is in the
heavens and on the earth? Three men cannot
confer together secretly without Him being the
fourth of them, or five without Him being the
sixth of them, or fewer than that or more with-
out Him being with them wherever they are.
Then He will inform them on the Day of Rising
of what they did. God has knowledge of all
things. (Qur'an, 58: 7)

Yusuf's brothers envied him and for this reason they attempted to
kill him by throwing him down a well.
