Surah 13 Ar-Ra'd — Ayat 42
وَقَدْ مَكَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْمَكْرُ جَمِيعًۭا ۖ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلْكُفَّٰرُ لِمَنْ عُقْبَى ٱلدَّارِ
Dan sesungguhnya orang-orang kafir yang sebelum mereka telah melancarkan rancangan jahat (terhadap Nabi-nabi mereka): oleh itu, (janganlah engkau bimbang kerana) bagi Allah jualah kuasa menggagalkan segala jenis rancangan jahat. Ia mengetahui apa yang diusahakan oleh tiap-tiap diri; dan orang-orang yang kafir akan mengetahui bagi siapakah balasan (yang baik dan yang buruk) pada hari akhirat kelak.

Tafsir · Ibn Kathir (Abridged)
The Disbelievers plot, but the Believers gain the Good End
Allah says,
(And verily, those before them did devise plots,) against their Messengers, they wanted to expel them from their land, but Allah devised plots against the disbelievers and gave the good end to those who fear Him. Allah said in other Ayat,
(And (remember) when the disbelievers plotted against you to imprison you, or to kill you, or to get you out; they were plotting and Allah too was plotting; and Allah is the Best of those who plot.) 8:30, and,
(So they plotted a plot, and We planned a plan, while they perceived not. Then see how was the end of their plot! Verily, We destroyed them and their nation, all together.)27:50,51 Allah said next,
(He knows what every person earns,) meaning, He alone knows all secrets and concealed thoughts and will reckon each person according to his work, (
and the Kafir (disbeliever) will know
or the Kuffar (disbelievers) according to another way of reciting,
(who gets the good end.) who will earn the ultimate and final victory, they or the followers of the Messengers. Indeed, the followers of the Messengers will earn the good end in this life and the Hereafter, all thanks and praise is due to Allah.
