Transliteration
Afa aminoo makral laah; falaa yaamanu makral laahi illal qawmul khaasiroon
Translation
Then did they feel secure from the plan of Allah? But no one feels secure from the plan of Allah except the losing people.
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
Look at the blessings Allah has given them of strength and abundance, how He gave them as a means of testing them. Do these people who reject the truth among the people of these cities feel safe from Allah’s plan and His faultless arrangement of things? No one feels safe from Allah’s plan except a people who are lost. Yet those who are successful fear His Planning. They do not become amazed and proud because of what Allah has given to them, but rather see His Generosity to them and are thankful to Him.
