Question:
He has another section regarding a question about the verse[Al-A'raf 7:99].
Answer:
The verse begins with[Al-A'raf 7:100] up to His saying, "Do they feel secure from the scheme of Allah?" He does not take heed from the events that have occurred or from the destruction of the nations before him due to disbelief, due to shirk (associating partners with Allah), or due to sins. He does not take heed from this. This person feels secure from the scheme of Allah. The scheme of Allah is gradual misguidance. The scheme of Allah is gradual misguidance through blessings. So he should not be deluded by the continuation of blessings while he persists in sins, for this is gradual misguidance from Allah for him. He must repent to Allah the Exalted and Majestic. Yes.
He has another section regarding a question about the 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:
The verse begins with
Has it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after its [previous] people that if We willed, We could afflict them for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not hear.
أَوَلَمْ يَهْدِ لِلَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْأَرْضَ مِن بَعْدِ أَهْلِهَا أَن لَّوْ نَشَاءُ أَصَبْنَاهُم بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَنَطْبَعُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لَا يَسْمَعُونَ
