( أفأمنوا مكر الله فلا يأمن مكر الله إلا القوم الخاسرون ) ومكر الله استدراجه إياهم بما أنعم عليهم في دنياهم . وقال عطية : يعني أخذه وعذابه .
Look at the blessings Allah has given them of strength and abundance, how He gave them as a means of testing them. Do these people who reject the truth among the people of these cities feel safe from Allah’s plan and His faultless arrangement of things? No one feels safe from Allah’s plan except a people who are lost. Yet those who are successful fear His Planning. They do not become amazed and proud because of what Allah has given to them, but rather see His Generosity to them and are thankful to Him.
