               them and all they fabricate. (Surat al-An'am, 112)
               In this way, We have assigned to every Prophet an enemy from
               among the evildoers. But your Lord is a sufficient guide and
               helper. (Surat al-Furqan, 31)
               Allah has created both sides of this struggle and determines the
             outcome. He has written victory in the destiny of the Messengers.
             As revealed in the Qur'an, there can be no question of a Messenger

             ever being defeated:
               Allah has written: "I will be victorious, I and My messengers."
               Allah is Most Strong, Almighty. (Surat al-Mujadala, 21)
               One of the reasons why a community of believers experiences
             apparent defeats is because they do not obey the Messenger. In
             Surah Al 'Imran Allah states that some believers did not obey our
             Prophet's (saas) commands during the Battle of Uhud, and
             therefore they lost that battle, even though they were apparently
             going to win. But this temporary defeat was useful for believers as
             part of a training process created to teach them how to obey.
             Finally, the Prophet (saas) and his faithful followers were
             victorious. And those who are hostile to a Messenger always come

             to the same end: humiliation in this world and the pangs of hell in
             the hereafter:
               Those who oppose Allah and His messenger will be subdued
               and overcome, just as those before them were also subdued
               and overcome. We have sent down clear signs. The unbelievers
               will have a humiliating punishment. On the Day Allah raises
               up all of them together, He will inform them of what they did.
               Allah has recorded it, while they have forgotten it. Allah is a
               Witness of all things. (Surat al-Mujadala, 5-6)
