Muhammad 47:32
Muhammad · Medinan · Juz 26 · Page 510
They Cannot Harm Allah
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَصَدُّواْ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَشَآقُّواْ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلۡهُدَىٰ لَن يَضُرُّواْ ٱللَّهَ شَيۡـࣰٔا وَسَيُحۡبِطُ أَعۡمَٰلَهُمۡ ٣٢
Lo! those who disbelieve and turn from the way of Allah and oppose the messenger after the guidance hath been manifested unto them, they hurt Allah not a jot, and He will make their actions fruitless.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
Those who disbelieve will never harm Allah at all.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, like Qurayzah, an-Nadir or those who fed the idolaters’ army at Badr, they will not be able to harm Allah’s Prophet at all.
Reflect
Trust that truth wins in the end, whatever is done against it.
