Allah's stratagem against the people of falsehood
0:11
Some people, when the stratagems and corruption of the people of falsehood intensify, think
0:17
that they are in an unassailable state of well-being and strength.
0:21
And they forget the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic:
0:24
“So they plotted a plot: and We plotted a plot, while they perceived not.” (27:50)
0:29
And His saying, Exalted is He:
0:31
“And thus have We made in every city great ones of its wicked ones, that they should plot therein. They do but plot against themselves, though they perceive not.” (6:123)
0:37
“And thus have We made in every city great ones of its wicked ones, that they should plot therein. They do but plot against themselves, though they perceive not.” (6:123)
0:42
And His saying, the Most High:
0:44
“(Shown in their) behaving arrogantly in the land and plotting evil; and the evil plot encloseth but the men who make it. Then, can they expect aught save the treatment of the folk of old? Thou wilt not find for Allah's way of treatment any substitute, nor wilt thou find for Allah's way of treatment aught of power to change.” (35:43)
0:48
In these verses, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has clarified for us
0:53
that those who plot evil deeds are within Allah's grasp,
0:57
and that Allah plots against them.
1:00
For He gives them respite while they plot,
1:03
until they persist in their plotting and increase in stratagem and corruption,
1:08
deceived by this respite and gradual leading astray.
1:12
And Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, drives them through this stratagem and His respite from Him, Exalted is He,
1:17
towards their crushing and decisive end.
1:21
He, Exalted is He, said:
1:23
“And let not those who disbelieve imagine that the rein We give them bodeth good unto their souls. We only give them rein that they may grow in sinfulness. And theirs will be a shameful doom.” (3:178)
1:29
“And let not those who disbelieve imagine that the rein We give them bodeth good unto their souls. We only give them rein that they may grow in sinfulness. And theirs will be a shameful doom.” (3:178)
1:33
And for them is a humiliating punishment.
