The Plots of the Disbelievers Turn Back Upon Them:
That is, just as the chiefs of Quraysh in Makkah are oppressing the Muslims and plotting against them with the support of others, this matter is not limited to the chiefs of Makkah alone, but the same is the case with the chiefs of every town. They always hinder the path of truth and continue to plot and deceive, and these are the people who are the greatest criminals in the sight of Allah. They do this because the call to truth strikes a severe blow to their leadership, just as Pharaoh, after seeing the miracles of Musa ؑ, said that this is clear magic and its purpose is to seize power. Allah Almighty says, let them plot as much as they wish, in the end, they themselves will be caught in this trap, but at this time they do not understand this.
