Transliteration:( Wa makaroo makran kubbaaraa )
"And they have devised a plot of great magnitude."
(Kanzul Imaan Translation)
✅ Major Schemes Against Truth (33)
The disbelievers didn't just reject Hazrat Nuh (peace be upon him), they actively conspired against him and his followers.
😠 Their goal was to harass the Prophet and mislead the believers, using influence and deception.
💡 This shows how falsehood often relies on plotting, while truth stands firm with sincerity and patience.
📌 Despite their great plans, they could never overpower the will of Allah (اللَّهُ ).
The tafsir of Surah Nuh verse 22 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Nuh ayat 21 which provides the complete commentary from verse 21 through 24.
(71:22) They contrived a plot of great magnitude.[16]
16 “Mighty plot”: All those deceits, deceptions and frauds which the chiefs and religious guides were employing in an attempt to mislead the common people against the teachings of the Prophet Noah. For example, they said: Noah is no more than a mere man like yourselves. How can one believe that Allah sends down Revelations to him? (Surah Al-Aaraf, Ayat 63); (Surah Houd, Ayat 27). We also see that only the meanest of us have become his followers without due thought. Had there been some weight in what he says, the elders of the people would have believed in him.(Surah Houd, Ayat 27). Had Allah willed, He would have sent down angels. (Surah Al-Mominoon, Ayat 24). Had he been sent by Allah, he would possess treasures, he would know the unseen, and he would be free from all human needs, like the angels (Surah Houd, Ayat 31). We find nothing in him that might give him superiority over us. (Surah Houd, Ayat 27). He merely intends to obtain superiority over you. (Surah Al-Mominoon, Ayat 24). Obviously, this man is possessed. (Surah Al-Mominoon, Ayat 25). Similar were the things that the Quraish chiefs said to mislead the people against the Prophet (peace be upon him).
