Translation: But Allah do encompass them from behind! 6065
Commentary:
6065 Allah encompasses everything. But the wicked will find themselves defeated
not only in conditions that they foresee, but from all sorts of unexpected
directions, perhaps from behind them, i.e., from the very people or circumstances
which in their blindness they despised or thought of as helping them.
Muhammad Asad:
Translation: but all the while God encompasses them [with His knowledge and might] without their being aware of it. 10
Commentary: 10 Lit., "from behind them", an idiomatic phrase denoting a happening imperceptible to those whom it closely concerns.
