Sura 58
Aya 10
10
إِنَّمَا النَّجوىٰ مِنَ الشَّيطانِ لِيَحزُنَ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَلَيسَ بِضارِّهِم شَيئًا إِلّا بِإِذنِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَليَتَوَكَّلِ المُؤمِنونَ

Yusuf Ali

Secret counsels are only (inspired) by the Evil One, in order that he may cause grief to the Believers; but he cannot harm them in the least, except as1 God permits; and on God let the Believers put their trust.
  • Evil can harm no one who is good, except insofar as (1) there is some question of trial in God’s Universal Plan, or (2) what appears to be harm may be real good. Nothing happens without God’s will and permission. And we must always trust Him, and not our cleverness or any adventitious circumstances that draw us the least bit from the path of rectitude.
