This refers to the miraculous rescue of Muslims from a sure rout or defeat, due to a fright and feeling of a sudden and mysterious fear that was induced in the hearts of the heathens: Soon shall we cast terror in the hearts of the infidels.'' The next phrase of the verse points to the cause of that terror, which was their polytheistic belief: ``For their associating with Allah that, for which Allah sent not any authority.'' The verse then ends in showing the unbelievers' final destiny and destination, which is the Fire of Hell! ``And indeed a bad abode is that of the oppressors.''
