The tradition of Allaah The Almighty has no scope for favoritism or
flattery, as He Says (what means): {You will not find in the way of
Allaah any change} [Quran 33:62], and, in fact, stresses in another
place, {You will never find in the way of Allaah any change.} [Quran
35:43] The fair Sharee'ah neither distinguishes between equals
norrenders the unequal as equivalent.
Thus, the inevitable destruction of the evil planner, the one who
breaks his word and the unjust person is only a question of
time,which, in itself, is a chance for reform. However, that does not
reflect a change in principles and what has been established as
thetradition of Allaah The Almighty.
Muhammad ibn Ka'b Al-Qurathi says, "Three traits beset those who
possess them: scheming, as Allaah The AlmightySays (what means): {Evil
plans shall not beset any save the authors of it} [Quran 35:43];
injustice, as in the verse (which means): {O mankind, your injustice
is only against yourselves} [Quran 10:23]; reneging, as Allaah The
Almighty Says (what means): {So he who breaks his word only breaks it
to the detriment of himself} [Quran 48:10]."
Why these attributes particularly,and others in general, affect
theirbearer is because consequences are closely related to the causes,
as Allaah The Almighty Says (whatmeans): {Whoever does a good deed -
it is for himself; and whoever does evil - it is against the self.}
[Quran 45:15] Similarly, He Says (what means): {[And said], "If you do
good, you do good for yourselves; and if you doevil, [you do it] to
yourselves."} [Quran 17:7] Moreover, the Prophet said, "Do whatever
you want, for you will be rewarded or punished accordingly."
He also narrated that Allaah The Almighty Said:"O My servants,indeed,
I enumerate and record your deeds for you, then I grant you your
reward or punishment in full, correspondingly. Therefore, anyone who
finds [in life] delight and good reward, should praise Allaah The
Almighty[for His enabling him or her to dogood]. Likewise, whoever
finds otherwise, should blame none but him/herself."
Once, a man went to a scholar and said, "The people of so-and-so have
collaborated to harm me,as if they are a single hand." So, he read out
the verse (what means): "The hand of Allaah is over their hands."
[Quran 48:10] The man then complained, "They hatch plots", so the
scholar recited (what means): "The evil plot does not encompass except
its own people." [Quran 35:43] Then, when he said: "They are so many",
the scholar recited the verse (which means): "How many a small company
has overcome a large company by permission of Allaah." [Quran 2:249]
The plots of the disbelievers destroy only them
If you want to be saved from the unbelievers and the immoral people,
have faith in their inescapable destruction being caused by their
scheming, oppression and betrayal. In fact, they destroy themselves
with their own hands before anyone else's weapons touch them and they
alone suffer the outcome of their evil qualities. Allaah The Almighty
Says (what means): {Andthe disbelievers planned, but Allaah planned.
And Allaah is the best of planners.} [Quran 3:45] He also Says (what
means): {And thus We have placed within everycity the greatest of its
criminals to conspire therein. But they conspire not except against
themselves, and they perceive [it]not.} [Quran 6:123]
The Noble Quran tells us of the intrigues of Thamood against their
Prophet Saalih where Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {And they
planned a plan,and We planned a plan, while they perceived not. Then
look how was the outcome of their plan - that We destroyed them and
their people, all.} [Quran 27:50-51]
Commenting on these verses, some scholars said that the phrase {while
they perceived not} implies that the people of Thamood were unaware of
the angels that Allaah The Almighty ordered to descend to protect
Saalih from their assassination attempt. These angels pelted every one
of them with stones until they were all killed, and their Prophet
wassafe from their conspiracy.
In another version, it is said that the people plotted to kill him so,
they pretended to embark on a journey, when, in reality, they hid in a
cave, so as toreturn and murder him at night. However, Allaah The
Almighty caused a rock to roll down over the mouth of the cave until
it became blocked; and this was Hisscheme against them.
Similarly, the disbelievers hatchedplots against Prophet Muhammad as
Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {And[remember, [O Muhammad],
when those who disbelieved plotted against you to restrain you or kill
you or evict you [from Makkah]. But they plan, and Allaah plans. And
Allaah is the best of planners.} [Quran 8:30]
Thus, He saved the Prophet who consequently immigrated safely to
Madeenah and managedto eliminate the leaders of the disbelievers, such
as Abu Jahl, 'Utbah ibn Rabee'ah and Shaybah ibn Rabee'ah. Later,
Allaah The Almighty spread Islam among their very own after the
conquestof Makkah. When the Prophet passed away, Allaah The Almighty
had granted him victoryover them and exalted him in status and
reputation.
The hypocrites had also contrivedevil plans against the Prophet .
Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {But they who plot evil deeds
will have a severe punishment, and the plotting of those - it will
perish.} [Quran 35:10] Therefore, their schemes were eventually
thwarted and their deception was evident to allrational people. In
this manner, anyone who conceals anything evil will have it divulged
by AllaahThe Almighty through his or her facial expressions and slips
of thetongue; then, he or she will surely be affected suitably.
In addition, the Jews conspired extensively against the Prophet tried
to assassinate him and colluded with other disbelievers against him
several times. Yet, he managed to kill some of them and evicted
others; later, heemerged victorious and his message was propagated to
all. As the ultimate response to their attitude, before the end of
time, the stones and trees, except the Al-Gharqad (boxthorn), which is
their shrub, will betray the Jews hiding behind them by revealing
their location to the Muslims pursuing them; and, Allaah The Almighty
will let the Muslims conquer the Al-Aqsaa Mosque in Jerusalem.
Therefore, beware of scheming and do not be stunned by the people who
plot against you. Qays ibn Sa'd ibn'Ubaadah said: "Had I not heard the
Prophet say that plots and deception are in Hell, I would have been
one of the most evil planners." [Al-Albaani: Saheeh]
