A Ruined Plot
أَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡ كَيۡدَهُمۡ فِي تَضۡلِيلࣲ ٢
Did He not bring their stratagem to naught.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Did He not make their plot go astray?
Insight
Elmalılı explains “kayd” as secretly arranging an attack. Allah ruined their whole plan and scattered it.
Reflect
Leave a plan that worries you to Allah.
