Surah 7. Al-A'raf, Ayah 99
| أَفَأَمِنُوا مَكْرَ اللَّهِ ۚ فَلَا يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | 'a- fa- 'amino makr 'allaah fa- laa ya'man makr 'allaah 'illaa al- qawm al- khaasiron |
| Pickthall | : | Are they then secure from Allah's scheme? None deemeth himself secure from Allah's scheme save folk that perish. |
| Asad | : | Can they, then, ever feel secure from God's deep devising? But none feels secure from God's deep devising save people who are [already] lost.79 |
| Malik | : | Do these people feel secure against the plan of Allah? In fact, only those people feel secure from the plan of Allah who are doomed to destruction. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Did they then fell secure against the plan of Allah? But no one can feel secure from the plan of Allah except those (doomed) to ruin! 1068 |
Note - 1068This closes that chapter of the narrative which deals
with Prophets who were rejected by their own people, but
who stood firm on Allah's message and were able to rescue
a remnant who believed. In each case there were special
circumstances and special besetting sins, which have been
explained in the notes. The nations which as a body could
not be won over to Allah's Law perished. So far we have
been dealing with the corruptions and iniquities within
each nation. In the story of Moses we have first a
struggle against the bondage of Egypt, one of the
foremost powers then in the world, the rescue of the
Israelites and their wanderings, and their proving
themselves unworthy and being left to wander in a new
sense when they rejected the new Prophet (Muhammad) who
came to renew Allah's Message.
