Al-Anfal 30: Remember that the infidels were plotting to seize and bind you, or to kill you, or to drive you away (from your home). While they were making plans (against you), Allah was making plans (against them). Allah is the best of planners.

...you can ask your (?). Surah Al-Anfal, verse 30: Remember when the disbelievers were plotting against you to seize and bind you or kill you or drive you out of your homeland. While they were plotting against you, Allah too was plotting against them. For Allah is the best of plotters, it says. Now, when we say Allah too plots, we will understand it like this. God forbid, not that Allah follows His ego and takes revenge on people this way. Why do people set traps? To take revenge on people. To satisfy their egos on them. Allah, however, within their destinies, for the continuation of people's lives, the events that are not to happen outside their destinies He prevents.

He prevents. That is the best of plotting. Allah does not set a trap for anyone out of egoistic feelings. He loves His servants, (?) so that His servants turn to Him. Yes. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) began to spread Islam in Mecca the Honored, when the disbelievers saw that people were slowly turning away from the idols they worshipped and entering Islam, the idolatrous polytheists plotted against the Prophet (peace be upon him) and wanted to do away with him. But the polytheists could not grasp that behind the Prophet (peace be upon him) was Allah, that no power or force could stand against Allah.

Increasing their own disbelief with the traps they set, at the Battle of Badr, filthy and impure, they passed on to their eternal abode, that evil destination, Hell.

According to the narration in the commentaries, the revelation of this verse came about as follows. When the Ansar, the people of Medina the Illuminated, accepted Islam, the Quraysh polytheists in Mecca the Honored, thinking that people would leave the idols the idol-worshippers worshipped, that these people would convert to Islam, became alarmed. Abu al-Bakhtari, Hisham ibn Amr, Abu Jahl, Tu'ayma ibn Adiy and other Meccan (?) gathered in Dar al-Nadwa. Against the Prophet (peace be upon him), to block his way and get rid of him, they begin to consult. Iblis too takes on the guise of an old man from the people of Najd and joins this consulting assembly.

First Abu al-Bakhtari says about the Prophet (peace be upon him): I think this: let us lock Muhammad in a house, give him food and drink through its window, and keep him there until he dies.

The representative of the people of Najd, the devil disguised as an old man, immediately objects to this proposal. If you lock him in such a house, surely his people will come and fight you. They will rescue him from your hands. Those in the consultation agreed with the words of the old Najdi. This time Hisham put forward an idea. He said: put him on a camel and drive him out from among you. Yes.

Then what he does can no longer harm you. And you will be rid of this. The old Najdi objected to this too. That is, that devil objected to this too. This is a bad idea. That man has corrupted your children too, and your foolish ones. If he is cast out like this, he will corrupt others besides you too. The beauty of his speech, the sweetness of his tongue, his words that touch hearts, do you not see them? By Allah, if you leave him free like that, he will go and make many people follow him. Then he will come and drive you out of your homeland. Yes, you speak the truth, they said, agreeing with Iblis.

Then the accursed Abu Jahl said: take one young man from every clan of Quraysh, give them swords, let them all attack Muhammad at once and kill him. That way his blood will be spread among the clans. And the Banu Hashim cannot go to war with the Quraysh. If they ask for blood money, we pay blood money and this matter is finished. The accursed Iblis steps forward and says, what this young man says is right, and they all consent to this idea. Seven young men are chosen from the Quraysh clans. With spears and swords in their hands, they surround the house of the Prophet (peace be upon him) at midnight.

At that, Allah Almighty informs His Beloved, the noble Muhammad (peace be upon him). That night the Prophet (peace be upon him) leaves in his bed Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and goes out of the house. He takes a handful of earth from the ground, throws it at the frenzied polytheists and passes through their midst unseen by the polytheists and leaves. To throw them off his track, he travels in the direction opposite the road to Medina the Illuminated. He comes to the cave of Thawr. The polytheists following his tracks come as far as the cave of Thawr. But by the grace of Allah a spider weaves over the mouth of the cave, and a dove builds a nest.

The polytheists become convinced that no one has entered this cave, and they turn back. Thus Allah foils the plot of the plotters. Yes.

Islam did not spread easily.

Many lives were given for Islam, and they, so that Allah's command would be fulfilled, gave their lives and reached the rank of martyrdom. (?) Then, this religion given to us as a trust, one does not know its worth. If we let the blood of those martyrs who gave their lives go for nothing, we will find it hard to answer for this before Allah.
