Explanatory Note

What a stupid, shallow trick! Yet they used it to reassure themselves and justify their lies. It is certainly singular that such people were so keen to sound truthful given the circumstances. When it is blinded to God’s guidance which shows the straight path, human nature betrays countless such twists and deviations. So they schemed and plotted, but God was watching them, aware of their scheming: “They devised a scheme; but We also devised a scheme, while they could not perceive it.” (Verse 50) The gap between the two schemes, and the two powers behind them is too far to bridge. Yet often are those who have power deceived by their resources, oblivious to the watching eye that never sleeps.
