- Mohammad Asad

Those unbelievers who have passed before them also devised plots; but Allah is the Master of all planning. He knows the actions of every soul. Soon the unbelievers will come to know who will get the home of paradise in the hereafter.

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

Those 'disbelievers' before them 'secretly' planned, but Allah has the ultimate plan. He knows what every soul commits. And the disbelievers will soon know who will have the ultimate outcome.

- Mustafa Khattab
