I start off at the end. Allah says,

00:00:01 --> 00:00:02

which

00:00:02 --> 00:00:05

means, and be conscious of Allah, develop the

00:00:05 --> 00:00:06

correct relationship with Allah.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

And if you are true believers, you should

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

lay your trust in Allah. So what's the

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14

beginning of the verse? Allah says, oh, you

00:00:14 --> 00:00:14

who believe,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:15

remember

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

the favor of Allah upon you.

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

When there were a people

00:00:20 --> 00:00:21

who were

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

who had intended to harm you, and they

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

actually planned it and had started the execution

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

of the plan.

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29

You know, they

00:00:30 --> 00:00:33

they wanted to stretch their arm of harm

00:00:33 --> 00:00:36

against you. And Allah says, we blocked that

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

arm. We stopped it. We

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

we caused

00:00:40 --> 00:00:41

it to cease

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

exactly there. So Allah says,

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

we stop their hands from reaching you with

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49

any harm.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

Allah says, think of that favor.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

Imagine how what type of

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

comfort that gives me, what type of hope

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

that gives me, that Allah has my back.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

Allah will look after you

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

behind your back.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

Allah will protect you.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11

Allah will make sure that those who are

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

planning your downfall will never succeed.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

They won't succeed. In fact,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

when someone makes a plan

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

against you,

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

or when someone curses you,

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

the justice of Allah

00:01:26 --> 00:01:26

is such

00:01:27 --> 00:01:30

that he doesn't allow an unjustified

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

curse

00:01:31 --> 00:01:32

to go through.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

I'm going to say that again just now,

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

but let me continue with the second point,

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

and that

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39

is Allah

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

will cause

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

that plan, the evil plan

00:01:44 --> 00:01:47

to reach those who made the plan, who

00:01:47 --> 00:01:48

deserved it.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

So when you plot the downfall of someone,

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

you're actually plotting your own downfall.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

Allah says,

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

You know, the evil plot

00:02:01 --> 00:02:02

will not,

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06

surround or will not grip and catch, you

00:02:06 --> 00:02:06

know,

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

it will not grip the neck of

00:02:11 --> 00:02:12

anyone besides

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

he who who deserved it, who did it

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

in the first place.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

You know, the 1 who is the owner

00:02:19 --> 00:02:21

of it, the 1 who started it. So

00:02:21 --> 00:02:23

don't plan the downfall of others

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

because you're actually planning your own downfall.
