English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And let not those who disbelieve think that they have outstripped Us. Surely, they cannot frustrate God’s purpose.
English - Five Volume Translation
And [b]let not those who disbelieve think that they have outstripped Us. Surely, they cannot frustrate God’s purpose.[1147]
3:179.
Commentary:
This verse contains the great prophecy that the enemies of Islam who had waged war against the Muslims would never prevail. Such a prophecy could not be made by a human being in the circumstances in which it was made; for it is an established historical fact that at the time when this prophecy was made the Muslims were extremely weak both in number and equipment and no mortal could predict that such a weak and ill-equipped community could vanquish their numerous and powerful enemies. Only God, Who is Almighty and Omniscient, could predict victory for the Muslims in such circumstances; and the promised victory did actually come to pass.
