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)
