In the Name of Allah,
The All-Merciful and Most Merciful
great mercy, will help His servants and support them
in ways they cannot conceive, and give them ease in unex-
pected ways.
Allah describes this help as “a wind against them and oth-
er forces you could not see” (Surat al-Ahzab, 9) and that He
will send them protectors: “…angels…” (Surat al-An’am, 61).
Some of the ways that He helps people are as follows:
Allah sends help to believers through angels
Allah’s help to believers is manifested in various ways.
One of the ways He helps is by sending angels to them at diffi-
cult times. In the Qur’an, Allah gives us an example of when
He helped our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him
peace):
And when you asked the believers: “Is it not enough for
you that your Lord reinforced you with three thousand an-
gels, sent down?” Yes indeed! But if you are steadfast and
guard against evil and they come upon you suddenly, your
Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels, clearly
identified. Allah only did this for it to be good news for you
and so that your hearts might be set at rest by it [help comes
from no one but Allah, the Almighty, the All-Wise]. (Surah
Al ‘Imran, 124-126)
In another verse Allah tells us that He helps believers by
means of invisible armies:
O believers! Remember Allah’s blessing to you when forces
came against you and We sent a wind against them, and
other forces you could not see. Allah sees what you do.
(Surat al-Ahzab, 9)
