54                    The Struggle of the Messengers


               ... Allah will protect you from people... (Surat al-Ma'ida, 67)
               Without Allah's permission, unbelievers cannot harm a
             believer or a Messenger.


               The Unbelievers' Traps Are Doomed to Fail from
               the Beginning

               By taking a few physical measures, unbelievers think that they
             can silence a Messenger's message. However, they never consider
             that Allah determines the outcome of everything and that He
             always helps the believers. They do their best to prevent the

             Messenger's work, but their traps always fail and rebound upon
             them, no matter how well and intelligently planned they are.
               Some of the verses of the Qur'an that reveal how the plots and
             stratagems of the unbelievers will be confounded and rebound
             against them read as follows:
               ... Allah always confounds the schemes of the unbelievers.
               (Surat al-Anfal, 18)
               … The stratagems of the unbelievers are nothing but errors.
               (Surah Ghafir, 25)
               They hatched a plot, and We hatched a plot while they were not
               aware. So look at the end result of all their plotting; We utterly

               destroyed them and their whole people! (Surat an-Naml, 50-51)
               Or do they desire to dupe you? But the duped ones are the
               unbelievers. (Surat at-Tur, 42)
               ... But then, when a warner came to them it only increased their
               aversion, shown by their arrogance in the land and evil
               plotting. But evil plotting envelops only those who do it. Do
               they expect anything but the pattern of previous peoples? You
               will not find any changing in the pattern of Allah. You will not
