So, at that time of night, when they are designing some treacherous plans and saying some words that are displeasing unto Him, He is with them and is aware of whatever they do. It says: "...while He is with them when they hold nightly discourses that do not please Him. And Allah encompasses what they do." Surah An-Nisa', Verse 109 هَاأَنتُمْ هَـؤُلاء جَادَلْتُمْ عَنْهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فَمَن يُجَادِلُ اللّهَ عَنْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَم مَّن يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكِيلاً 109.
"(Suppose that) you pleaded for them in this worldly life, but who will plead for them with Allah on the Day of Resurrection, or who shall be their protector?" In these three holy verses, the Qur'an gives three warnings to three groups: It tells the judge not to transgress the bounds of right: "...
That you may judge between people by what Allah has shown (taught) you ..." [^1] It tells the treacherous one that Allah observes his deeds: "…He is with them…." [^2] In the above verse, it tells the defenders of the treacherous that their efforts will be useless for the Day of Judgement.
"Suppose that) you pleaded for them in this worldly life, but who will plead for them with Allah on the Day of Resurrection.....?" Surah An-Nisa', Verse 110 وَمَن يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللّهَ يَجِدِ اللّهَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا 110. "And whoever does evil or acts unjustly to his own self; then seeks forgiveness of Allah, shall find Allah Forgiving, Merciful." The Qur'anic word /su/, in philology, means 'to harm others', too.
Thus, the verse refers to both being unjust to people and being cruel to oneself. "And whoever does evil or acts unjustly to his own self..." The previous verse, criticized the treacherous and protection of the treacherous. Here, in this verse, it states the way of rescue from it. The Qur'an says that gate of the path of return is open to the wrong doers. Now, it is they who should decide and return from doing sin and repent.
It says: "….then seeks forgiveness of Allah, shall find Allah Forgiving, Merciful." Surah An-Nisa', Verse 111 وَمَن يَكْسِبْ إِثْمًا فَإِنَّمَا يَكْسِبُهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَكَانَ اللّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا 111. "And whoever commits a sin, indeed he commits it only against his own self and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise." Sin, which is a transgression against the bound of Divine law, destroys the inner purity, virtue of the spirit, and justice; and this very effect is the greatest damage.
