Bismillah
Praise be to Allah, and blessing and peace be upon His Messenger, our beloved Prophet, mentor and leader,
Leading life these days, most of us face plotting and conspiracy in a way or the other and in many levels; i.e professional, personal, marital, friendship, business..etc. Did Allah Leave us without providing us with contra tools? Nay, Glory be to Allah. It is just us who recite Quran, but fail to apply it, although it would make our lives much easier, we rather indulge into deep thinking, trauma, even depression because we are unable to cope or handle such situations.
Brothers and sisters, look at the insightful description and simply answer:
"O you who believe! Take not as (your) advisors and protectors those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you the Signs if you understand.*Lo! You are the ones who love them but they love you not, and you believe in all the Scriptures. And when they meet you, They say, "We believe". But when they are alone, they bite the tips of their fingers at you in rage. Say: "Perish in your rage. Certainly, Allah knows what is (hidden) in the breasts."*If a good befalls you, it grieves them, but if some evil overtakes you, they rejoice at it. But if you remain patient and become pious, not the least harm will their cunning do to you. Surely, Allah surrounds all that they do." (Quran 3:118-120)
True that the beginning of the set of Ayahs is addressing problems created by and due to taking those outside of our religion as advisors, however, because Allah Is the All Accomodator, and Most Spacious, the remedy introduced at the end which is adopting patience and piety shall certianly bear the same fruit which is immunity against harm due to any given cunning.
