Surat Ibrahim (45-46)

{وَسَكَنتُمْ فِي مَسَـاكِنِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ كَيْفَ فَعَلْنَا بِهِمْ وَضَرَبْنَا لَكُمُ الأَمْثَالَ} (إبراهيم : 45)

45- You settled down in the place of pervious belying nations who were before you and knew their news and how did We destroy and punish them, but you did not take a lesson from what had happened to them. You did as they had done and continued their oppression and corruption after We had explained to you incidents and narrated to you news and stories and given you examples to take a heed. Their news and signs are still recorded in the books of history, but historians and archeologists do not take a heed and do not mention to their students religious guidelines, but study, analyze, and search for knowledge, culture, and news.

{وَقَدْ مَكَرُواْ مَكْرَهُمْ وَعِندَ اللّهِ مَكْرُهُمْ وَإِن كَانَ مَكْرُهُمْ لِتَزُولَ مِنْهُ الْجِبَالُ} (إبراهيم : 46)

46- They plotted and exerted every possible effort to eradicate the message of monotheism and directed the believers away from their religion and ridiculing their creed, but they, their will, and plans are in the hand of the Almighty and under His Disposal. The retribution of their plots shall be in the hand of Allah even if their plot and management are strong to the extent that mountains are removed from their places. It means that were not able to eradicate the message of the Messengers despite their severe enmity to their enemies and their followers.
