The Spoils of War - 8:18 Thus Allah foils the plans of the disbelievers.
Allah's plan against the disbelievers:
The Spoils of War/8:42 When you were on the far side of the valley and they were on the far side of the valley. And the caravan was lower than you. If you had decided on this encounter, you would have disagreed about it. But Allah was carrying out a pre-planned deed. So that that which is destroyed may be destroyed with a clear proof, and that which lives may be kept alive with a clear proof. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
The Spoils of War/8:43 Allah made them seem little to you in your dream. Had He shown them to you many, you would have scattered and disputed about it. But Allah saved (you). He knows the essence of the breasts.
The Spoils of War/8:44 When the time came and you met them, He made them little in your eyes, and He made you little in their eyes, so that Allah might accomplish what was planned beforehand. The affairs return to Allah in the end.
