Allah is the Best of Planners

No matter what decisions humans make , there is absolute lack of knowledge of future which is only in the Control of Allah azzawajal. We should not see the apparent victory of oppressors as victory as we dont know what is is the future in store for them or whether they might even live to taste the victory or oppression.Have tawakkul and trust entirely in the Almighty whlist having the assurance that this life is temporary and a test for the permanent life in hereafter.


Alllah, may He be exalted, says regarding the requital of the disbelievers for their scheming and plotting against His believing slaves and their spreading mischief on the earth (interpretation of the meaning):“Indeed, they are planning a plan,But I am planning a plan.So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile”[at-Taariq 86:15-17].Shaykh as-Sa‘di (may Allah have mercy on him) said:


“Indeed, they” that is, those who reject the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and the Qur’an “are planning a plan” to defeat the truth and support falsehood


“But I am planning a plan” to cause the truth to prevail, even if the disbelievers hate it, and to ward off what they have brought of falsehood, so that it may be known who will prevail, for humans are too weak and insignificant to be able to resist the Most Strong, All-Knowing and His plans.


“So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile” that is, for a short time, for they will come to know their fate when the punishment descends upon them.Tafseer as-Sa‘di (919).
