Transliteration:( Afa aminoo makral laah; falaa ya'manu makral laahi illal qawmul khaasiroon )
Are they unaware of the secret plan of Allah? And none feels secure from the secret plan of Allah except the losers (233).
This verse warns against becoming complacent and overconfident in the face of Allah’s patience. When sinners are not immediately punished, they may assume they are safe — this is a grave mistake. The "secret plan of Allah" refers to His method of delaying punishment as a test, allowing the sinner to either repent or accumulate more guilt. Those who continue sinning, feeling secure and untouched, are truly among the losers, because they fail to see the warning signs. A heart empty of Allah’s fear and heedless of His Prophet ﷺ is a heart on the path to destruction.
