وَقَدۡ مَكَرُواْ مَكۡرَهُمۡ وَعِندَ ٱللَّهِ مَكۡرُهُمۡ وَإِن كَانَ مَكۡرُهُمۡ لِتَزُولَ مِنۡهُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ ٤٦
And they had planned their plan, but with Allāh is [recorded] their plan, even if their plan had been [sufficient] to do away with the mountains.1

Commentary on 14:46
٤٦ – ﴿وَقَدۡ مَكَرُواْ﴾ أي: كفار مكة، وغيرهم من المكذبين لرسلهم ﴿مَكۡرَهُمۡ﴾ بأنبياء الله ورسله ، أي: دبروا تدبيرهم الخفي بهم حيث عملوا على رد الحق وإثبات الباطل، وحيث كادوا لرسلهم بالقتل والتقييد والإخراج ، واستفرغوا في ذلك وسعـهم وطاقتهـم ﴿وَعِندَ ٱللَّهِ مَكۡرُهُمۡ﴾ أي: وعند الله علم مكرهم أو: جزاؤه ، فهو محيط بهم وبمكرهم علما وقدرة. ﴿وَإِن كَانَ مَكۡرُهُمۡ﴾ في العظم والشدة ﴿لِتَزُولَ مِنۡهُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ﴾ أي: بالغٌ في الكيد وحسن التدبير إلى إزالة الجبال الراسيات ، فإن الله ناصر دينه ورسله وأولياءه.[وفي قراءة :(لَتَزولُ) بفتح اللام ورفع الفعل] والمعنى: وإنه كان مكرهم ، على عظمه وشدته ، لتزول الجبال الراسيات بسببه ، عن أماكنها. فالمراد : تعظيم مكرهم، كقوله : (ومكروا مكرا كبارا)نوح(٢٢) . أي: لا يقدر قدره، ولكن الله أبطله وذهب به ، ورد كيدهم في نحورهم .وقيل : المعنى : وما كان مكرهم، وإن عظم ، لتزول منه الجبال ، لضعفه ووهنه ، والمراد : أنه لا يعبأ بمكرهم، ولا يضرون به إلا أنفسهم، فإن وبال مكرهم عائد عليهم . وهذا يشبه قوله سبحانه وتعالى : (ولا تمش في الأرض مرحا إنك لن تخرق الأرض ولن تبلغ الجبال طولا)الإسراء(٣٧).وقيل : إن المراد بالمكر : كفرهم وشركهم ، والمعنى: وإن كان كفرهم وشركهم لتزول منه الجبال، ويناسبه قوله: (تكاد السماوات يتفطرن منه وتنشق الأرض وتخر الجبال هدّا ٩٠ أن دعوا للرحمن ولدا ٩١)مريم(٩٠-٩١).

14:43
مُهۡطِعِينَ مُقۡنِعِي رُءُوسِهِمۡ لَا يَرۡتَدُّ إِلَيۡهِمۡ طَرۡفُهُمۡۖ وَأَفۡـِٔدَتُهُمۡ هَوَآءٞ ٤٣
Racing ahead, their heads raised up, their glance does not come back to them,1 and their hearts are void.

- This is their state at the time of resurrection from the graves. Their heads are upraised in fixed stares of terror, unable even to glance back. ↩
14:44
وَأَنذِرِ ٱلنَّاسَ يَوۡمَ يَأۡتِيهِمُ ٱلۡعَذَابُ فَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ رَبَّنَآ أَخِّرۡنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٖ قَرِيبٖ نُّجِبۡ دَعۡوَتَكَ وَنَتَّبِعِ ٱلرُّسُلَۗ أَوَلَمۡ تَكُونُوٓاْ أَقۡسَمۡتُم مِّن قَبۡلُ مَا لَكُم مِّن زَوَالٖ ٤٤
And, [O Muḥammad], warn the people of a Day when the punishment will come to them and those who did wrong will say, "Our Lord, delay us for a short term; we will answer Your call and follow the messengers." [But it will be said], "Had you not sworn, before, that for you there would be no cessation?1

And you lived among the dwellings of those who wronged themselves, and it had become clear to you how We dealt with them. And We presented for you [many] examples."

وَقَدۡ مَكَرُواْ مَكۡرَهُمۡ وَعِندَ ٱللَّهِ مَكۡرُهُمۡ وَإِن كَانَ مَكۡرُهُمۡ لِتَزُولَ مِنۡهُ ٱلۡجِبَالُ ٤٦

لِيَجۡزِيَ ٱللَّهُ كُلَّ نَفۡسٖ مَّا كَسَبَتۡۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ ٥١
So that Allāh will recompense every soul for what it earned. Indeed, Allāh is swift in account.
14:52
هَٰذَا بَلَٰغٞ لِّلنَّاسِ وَلِيُنذَرُواْ بِهِۦ وَلِيَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞ وَلِيَذَّكَّرَ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ ٥٢
This [Qur’ān] is notification for the people that they may be warned thereby and that they may know that He is but one God and that those of understanding will be reminded.
