        The Qur'an reveals this truth in these words:
             That is because Allah would never change a blessing He
             has conferred on a people until they had changed what was
             in themselves... (Surat al-Anfal: 53)

             And when your Lord announced: "If you are grateful, I will
             certainly give you increase, but if you are ungrateful, My
             punishment is severe." (Surah Ibrahim: 7)
             A person of faith never experiences an irresolvable situation.
        Even in the most complex, difficult and seemingly impossible situa-
        tions, believers know that Allah in His mercy sends them help and
        lifts them out of darkness into light. Because of their unwavering
        trust in Allah, by His will, they can surmount all their difficulties.
        Those who have suffered great harm as a result of satan's influence
        need to show this kind of moral behavior when they realize the situ-

        mercy and assistance and that, as the Qur'an says, the Lord is their

        most trustworthy friend and helper.
             ... Allah suffices as a Protector; Allah suffices as a Helper.
             (Surat an-Nisa': 45)


             THE HIDDEN INSINCERITY OF THOSE
             CAUGHT UP IN DESPAIR AND DISTRUST
             One method that satan uses most often to draw people away
        from the true path is to thrust them into despair and pessimism.
        Satan makes people with ignorant beliefs think that perverse behav-
        ior based on despair and distrust is legitimate; and in this way he

        leads them to disbelief. He wants to apply the same method to peo-
        ple of faith and draw them away from the Qur'an by making them
        adopt this ignorant morality. The Qur'an tells us that despair is one
