And let not those who disbelieve think they will escape. Indeed, they will not cause failure [to Allah ].

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

Making Preparations for War to strike Fear in the Hearts of the Enemies of Allah Allah says to His Prophet, وَلَا يَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ سَبَقُواْ إِنَّهُمْ لَا يُعْجِزُونَAnd let not those who disbelieve think that they can outstrip (escape from the punishment). Verily, they will never be able to save themselves (from Allah's punishment). And let not those who disbelieve think that they can outstrip, Do not think that such disbelievers have escaped Us or that We are unable to grasp them. Rather, they are under the power of Our ability and in the grasp of Our will; they will never escape Us.'Allah also said,أَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّيَاتِ أَن يَسْبِقُونَا سَأءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ Or think those who do evil deeds that they can outstrip Us (escape Our punishment) Evil is that which they judge! (29:4)لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مُعْجِزِينَ فِى الااٌّرْضِ وَمَأْوَاهُمُ النَّارُ وَلَبِيْسَ الْمَصِيرُConsider not that the disbelievers can escape in the land. Their abode shall be the Fire, and worst indeed is that destination. (24:57)and,لَا يَغُرَّنَّكَ تَقَلُّبُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِى الْبِلَـدِمَتَـعٌ قَلِيلٌ ثُمَّ مَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ وَبِيْسَ الْمِهَادُLet not the free disposal (and affluence) of the disbelievers throughout the land deceive you. A brief enjoyment; then their ultimate abode is Hell; and worst indeed is that place for rest. (3:196-197) Allah commands Muslims to prepare for war against disbelievers, as much as possible, according to affordability and availability.Allah said
