And had ye trysted to meet one another ye surely would have failed to keep the tryst , but ( it happened , as it did , without the forethought of either of you ) that Allah might conclude a thing that must be done ; that he who perished ( on that day ) might perish by a clear proof ( of His sovereignty ) and he who survived might survive by a clear proof ( of His sovereignty ) . Lo! Allah in truth is Hearer , Knower .

8.44 . And when He made you ( Muslims ) , when ye met ( them ) , see them with your eyes as few , and lessened you in their eyes , ( it was ) that Allah might conclude a thing that must be done . Unto Allah all things are brought back .
