them and their people from their terrible plight. We supported
them, and so they were the victors. (Surat as-Saffat, 114-116)
Allah assisted the Prophet Noah (as), by inspiring him to build
an ark to protect him and his followers from the impending flood;
rescued the Prophet Jesus (as) from certain death by raising him to
His Presence; and protected the Prophet Joseph (as) by freeing him
from the Egyptian vizier's dungeon and then raising him to high
rank and power. Our Lord constantly assisted our Prophet (saas) by
lightening his burden. Allah informs us that He was our Prophet's
(saas) guardian, protector, and source of help, which enabled the be-
lievers' hearts to be in a state of total peace and trust:
Ask: "Who is going to shield you from Allah if He desires evil
for you or desires mercy for you?" They will find no one to pro-
tect or help them besides Allah. (Surat al-Ahzab, 17)
Our word was given before to Our servants, the Messengers,
that they would certainly be helped. Our army will be victori-
ous. (Surat as-Saffat, 171-173)
O you who believe. If you help Allah, He will help you
and make your feet firm. (Surah Muhammad, 7)
