56 The Struggle of the Messengers

them and their people from their terrible plight. We supported
them, and so they were the victors. (Surat as-Saffat, 114-116)
Allah has written: "I will be victorious, I and My messengers."
Allah is Most Strong, Almighty. (Surat al-Mujadala, 21)
As for those who make Allah their friend, and His messenger
and those who believe: It is the party of Allah that is victorious!
(Surat al-Ma'ida, 56)
The lives of Allah's Messengers are full of examples of victories

obtained over the unbelievers' plots. For example, Pharaoh killed
all male children who had been born during a particular period,
foolishly imagined he took precautions, and oppressed believers,
but he still could not hinder the Prophet Moses (as). During the
Hegira the pagans of Mecca followed our Prophet (saas) and
sought to martyr him, but Allah miraculously protected him in a
cave .
The people tried to burn the Prophet Abraham (as) alive, but
Allah cooled it for him so that he could survive. The Prophet
Joseph's (as) brothers threw him into a well, but Allah rescued
him and had an Egyptian king put him in charge of the nation's
treasures. They tried to martyr the Prophet Jesus (as), but Allah
raised him to heaven. Again and again He foiled their traps in the
most unexpected way. Allah creates what and when He wills, and
gives victory to His Messengers.

Allah Knows All of Their Traps

Unbelievers, who have no knowledge of Allah's power, think

that no one is aware of their traps for the Messengers. Quietly and
behind closed doors, they make their cruel and unjust decisions.
But they are mistaken in their assumption that such secrecy hides
