The Holy Quran 13:42 — Surah Ar-Ra'd

Arabic text

وَقَدْ مَكَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْمَكْرُ جَمِيعًا ۖ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلْكُفَّـٰرُ لِمَنْ عُقْبَى ٱلدَّارِ

Translation

Those before them have planned (against the Ambiyaa عليه الصلاة والسلام), but to Allaah does all planning belong (His plans will always dominate). He knows what every soul earns (and give them what they deserve), and the Kaafiroon will soon come to know to whom belongs the (favourable) outcome of the Aakhirah. (They will then realise that the Mu'mineen are the successful ones despite everything they did to harm them.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Allah's plan prevails: if He does not will, all the schemes will come to nothing; or [the meaning is] that Allah counters their schemes. “Makr” originally means a hidden plan: if it is made for evil it is bad, and if it is made to remove evil it is good.
