Love of Allah



                  Allah Protects and Helps Those Who


                                   Follow His Path


                    Those who sincerely turn to Allah and follow His path will
                sense His protection and presence. Allah will clear the path for those
                who sincerely believe in Him, avoid the unlawful and engage in the
                lawful, by providing ease for them in all that they do. Allah informs
                us in many verses that He will help, protect, and raise them to high

                levels, for:
                    … it is Our duty to help the believers. (Surat ar-Rum, 47)
                    One of the best examples of Allah's help and support can be
                seen in the life of the Prophet Moses (as), who departed from his city,

                turned to Allah, and made the following supplication: "My Lord, I
                am truly in need of any good You have in store for me" (Surat al-
                 Qasas, 24). Allah accepted his supplication, enabling the Prophet
                     Moses (as) to find a community of people with whom he could
                        stay and on whom he could depend.
                              Following the revelation of the Prophet Moses' (as)
                          prophethood, Allah appointed his brother, the Prophet
                          Aaron (as), to support and help him in his mission to
                          Pharaoh. Allah assisted both of them when Pharaoh and

                              his armies set upon them. He split open the sea, there-
                                   by enabling the Prophet Moses (as) and the
                                           Children of Israel to escape to freedom
                                               while Pharaoh and his army
                                                  drowned. Allah relates the fol-
                                                   lowing information about this
                                                    event:

                                                    We showed great kindness to
                                                    Moses and Aaron. We rescued
