Question:
The questioner asks about the noble verse:[Al-A'raf 7:99]
Answer:
[Al-A'raf 7:99] His drawing them in to the sinners and transgressors and giving them respite, they think that this indicates Allah's pleasure with them, while they are in a state of crime and disobedience. This is a matter of being drawn in (istidraj). Allah plots against them, meaning He draws them in, and let not those who disbelieve think that [Ali 'Imran 3:178] [Ali 'Imran 3:178] Therefore, one must be aware that the plotting of Allah is justice from Him, (Glorified and Exalted is He). It is justice from Him because He does not plot against anyone except one who deserves punishment and deserves to be plotted against. So it is a matter of retribution and punishment and justice from Allah, (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
The questioner asks about the noble verse:
Then did they feel secure from the plan of Allah? But no one feels secure from the plan of Allah except the losing people.
أَفَأَمِنُوا مَكْرَ اللَّهِ فَلَا يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْخَاسِرُونَAnswer:
Then did they feel secure from the plan of Allah
أَفَأَمِنُوا مَكْرَ اللَّهِthat [because] We extend their time [of enjoyment] it is better for them
أَنَّمَا نُمْلِي لَهُمْ خَيْرٌ لِّأَنفُسِهِمْWe only extend it for them so that they may increase in sin, and for them is a humiliating punishment.
إِنَّمَا نُمْلِي لَهُمْ لِيَزْدَادُوا إِثْمًا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ
