Surah Ali 'Imran — Ayah 54 (3:54)

Family of Imran · Madinah · Juz 3 · Mushaf page 57 of 604

وَمَكَرُواْ وَمَكَرَ ٱللَّهُۖ وَٱللَّهُ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡمَٰكِرِينَ ٥٤

English translation (Saheeh International)

And they [i.e., the disbelievers] planned, but Allāh planned. And Allāh is the best of planners.

Brief commentary

The disbelievers from the Israelites plotted to kill Jesus (peace be upon him), so Allah planned to leave them in their misguidance; and He made another person resemble Jesus (peace be upon him) on the occasion when they actually tried to murder him. Allah is the best plotter, because there can be nothing more severe than His plot against His enemies.
