tually harm true believers. There is a trap set within the all encom-
passing scheme of Allah which surrounds the traps they set for others.
As they lay their snares, Allah hears and knows everything they say,

their decisions and innermost feelings, down to the finest detail. In
fact, the fact that they will set snares for believers was already en-
shrined in their destinies long before they were even born. Allah had
also determined in their destinies those events that would bring their

traps to nothing. For that reason, every trap set for believers comes
into being as a failure. Allah reveals this secret in the Qur’an:

Thus it is that believers are submissive to the will of Allah
when they encounter such situations, and realise that the traps laid for
them have already been neutralised. No matter how powerful the
snare set for them they always respond calmly and moderately. This
stems from their trust in Allah and their belief in His Books and His
Messengers. Therefore, it is a secret peculiar to believers, since it is
impossible for people who do not believe and who live their lives far
removed from religion, to enjoy such inner calm.
