ومكروا ومكر الله والله خير الماكرين
And they schemed, and planned Allah. And Allah (is the) Best (of) the Planners.
Al-Khayr (The Best)—including Khayr al-Fasilin and Khayr al-Makirin—declares that Allah Himself is better and more lasting, and the Best in judgment and planning. In the Quran, this Divine Name appears 7 times across 6 verses in 6 surahs, from Quran 3:54 (Surah Ali 'Imran) to Quran 27:59 (Surah An-Naml).
Reflection: Choosing what pleases Al-Khayr over fleeting worldly gain brings lasting peace and trust in Allah’s superior plan.
