7:99

أَفَأَمِنُوا۟ مَكْرَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ فَلَا يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ

afa-aminū makra l-lahi falā yamanu makra l-lahi illā l-qawmu l-khāsirūna

Then, did they feel secure from the plan of Allāh? But no one feels secure from the plan of Allāh except the losing people.

— Saheeh International

Do they feel secure against God’s plan? Only the losers feel secure against God’s plan.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

Did they then feel secure against the Plan of Allâh? None feels secure from the Plan of Allâh except the people who are the losers.

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
