Explanatory Note

The sūrah gives no details of what happened after they issued their orders. It simply shows the outcome with the fulfilment of God’s promise to His true servants and His warnings to the unbelievers: “They schemed to harm him, but We caused them to be humiliated.” What chance has such scheming when God wants it to be foiled? What can frail and powerless tyrants who cling to power do when God takes care of His true servants?
