They certainly devised their plots, but their plots are known to Allah, and their plots are not such as to dislodge the mountains.

Surah ‘Ibrahim – Verse 46
46. “And indeed they have devised their devising, and their devising is with Allah, though their devising were such as to remove the mountains thereby.”
Allah is both aware of their devices and tricks, and is all-powerful over them, and He shall provide all conspirators with commensurate chastisement. He can also diffuse and expel their tricks or return those tricks to themselves. At any rate, do not worry, such conspiracies and plans will have no effect on you even if their strategies are such that enable them to remove mountains. For, no matter how powerful and forceful they may be, the oppressors will eventually be perished by Allah.
The verse says:
“And indeed they have devised their devising, and their devising is with Allah, though their devising were such as to remove the mountains thereby.”
Some commentators have claimed that the objective in mind of ‘the mountains’ has been the Islamic religion and the Prophet (S) that have withstood all sorts of conspiracies and tricks of the enemies.
