Page 115 - The Struggle Against the Religion of Irreligion

While the unbelievers plot, they do not realize something very

important which is stressed by the words "they deceive not except

themselves and perceive it not." It is the fact that everything they

experience is an image designed to be perceived by them, and the

plots they devise are also images formed in their brains like every

other act they perform. Their folly has made them forget that they are

actually alone with Allah, and hence, they are entrapped in their own

devious plans.

No less than the unbelievers who lived in the past, those living

today face a reality that will shatter their devious plans at the

foundations. Allah says that these plots are doomed to end with

failure the day they are hatched:

With the verse "…feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan" 114

He gives good tidings to the believers, by stating:

Their plot will not harm you at all. 115

And Allah has said:

But those who disbelieved- their deeds are like a mirage

in a lowland which a thirsty one thinks is water until,

when he comes to it, he finds it is nothing. 116
