is? It is freeing a slave or feeding on a day of
hunger an orphaned relative or a poor man in the
dust; (90:12-16)
Did He not find you orphaned and shelter you?
(93:6)
So as for orphans, do not oppress them. (93:9)
He is the one who harshly rebuffs the orphan.

OVERCOMING
When Satan made their actions appear good to
them, saying, ‘No one will overcome you today
for I am at your side.’ But when the two parties
came in sight of one another, he turned right
round on his heels saying, ‘I wash my hands of
you. I see what you do not see. I fear Allah. Allah
is severe in retribution.’ (8:48)
O Prophet! Spur on the believers to fight. If there
are twenty of you who are steadfast, they will
overcome two hundred; and if there are a hun-
dred of you, they will overcome a thousand of
those who disbelieve, because they are people
who do not understand. (8:65)
Now Allah has made it lighter on you, knowing
there is weakness in you. If there are a hundred
of you who are steadfast, they will overcome two
hundred; and if there are a thousand of you, they
will overcome two thousand with Allah’s permis-
sion. Allah is with the steadfast. (8:66)
(Salih said,) ‘My people! Here is the she-camel of
Allah as a Sign for you. So leave her alone to eat
on Allah’s earth and do not inflict any harm on
her or you will be overcome by an imminent
punishment.’ (11:64)
Those who oppose Allah and His Messenger will
be subdued and overcome as those before them
were also subdued and overcome. We have sent
down Clear Signs. The disbelievers will have a
humiliating punishment. (58:5)
