[24].Surah An-Nur [The Light]: Ayat 57

৫৭. তোমরা কাফেরদেরকে পৃথিবীতে পরাক্রমশালী মনে করো না। তাদের ঠিকানা অগ্নি। কতই না নিকৃষ্ট এই প্রত্যাবর্তনস্থল।

Ayat 57. Consider not that the disbelievers (As for them, They are but plotting a scheme so they can escape in the land (or change Allah's will and plan). Their abode shall be the Fire, and worst indeed is that destination.

 

[Tafseer] of Ayat 57. Never think thou that the Unbelievers are going to frustrate ((Allah)'s Plan) on earth: their abode is the Fire,- and it is indeed an evil refuge! Though Allah in His Mercy has provided a piercing light to penetrate our spiritual darkness, and made our beings responsive to the growth of spiritual understanding, just as the hard earth is responsive to the sprouting of a seed or the gushing of a stream, yet there are evil, unregenerate men who plot and scheme against the beneficent purpose of Allah. But their plots will be of no avail, and Allah's Purpose will prevail. It happened so with the Quraish who wanted to thwart the growth of Islam. It will be so in all ages.   

Hazrat Abu Musa Al-Ashari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the Messenger of Allah [SAWW](PBUH), feared mischief from a people, he would supplicate: "Allahumma inna naj`aluka fi nuhurihim, wa na`udhu bika min shururihim (O Allah! We ask You to face them, and seek Your Protection against their evil.''

[Abu Dawud Hadith # 1537 # and An-Nasa'i Hadith # 8631].

 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah An-Nur Ayat 57."Consider not that the disbelievers (As for them,they are but plotting a scheme so they) can escape in the land" Allah's Help, we are told, is a protection against all perils. Through this prayer we seek His Help with the conviction that the deceptions and designs of the infidels will turn back upon them.
