In the Name of Allah,
                              The All-Merciful and Most Merciful




                         Allah’s Promises and Assistance to

                                       the Believers


                      In the Qur’an Allah tells us that most people are far re-
                 moved from the morality of the Qur’an: “But most people have
                 no faith” (Surat ar-Ra’d, 1). For this reason, some unmindful

                 and unaware people think they are on the straight path, even
                 though they deny Allah’s existence. Feeling that their superior
                 strength and numbers give them a sense of security, such peo-
                 ple evaluate events superficially and act as if they were truly
                 superior to others. But they are unaware of a great truth:
                 Allah’s promises and support to the believers:

                      Allah will not give the unbelievers any way against the be-
                      lievers. (Surat an-Nisa, 141)
                       As mentioned in the verse above, Allah does everything
                 to their benefit for believers and supports them. In Surat al-
                 Inshirah, He reveals the secret that, for a Muslim, every diffi-

                 culty is created with the corresponding ease to bear it. Allah
                 creates both the disease and the cure, and with every difficulty
                 comes ease and a solution. This truth is revealed as follows:
                      For truly with hardship comes ease; truly, with hardship
                      comes ease. (Surat al-Inshirah, 5-6)

                      Only believers know this support and assistance of Allah.
                 Thus, whatever believers encounter, they act with a sense of
                 contentment and security. Allah makes this promise to His be-
                 lievers:

                      Allah knows best who your enemies are. Allah suffices as a
                      Protector; Allah suffices as a Helper. (Surat an-Nisa, 45)
                      Those who worship what is other than Allah and those
