84 The Struggle of the Messengers

Messenger are rewarded with victory in this world, paradise in
the hereafter, and, above all, His good pleasure. In the Qur'an,
Messengers and their faithful followers are called "the party of
Allah," and their reward in the hereafter is described in these
words:

You will not find people who believe in Allah and the Last Day
having love for anyone who opposes Allah and His messenger,
although they be their fathers, their sons, their brothers, or
their clan. Allah has inscribed faith upon such people's hearts
and will reinforce them with a Spirit from Him and admit them
into Gardens with rivers flowing under them, remaining in
them timelessly, forever. Allah is pleased with them, and they
are pleased with Him. Such people are the party of Allah.
Truly, it is the party of Allah who is successful. (Surat al-
Mujadala, 22)
In other verses it is revealed that the Messengers and their
followers will certainly be victorious:
Our Word was given before to Our servants, the messengers,
that they would certainly be helped. It is Our army that will be
victorious. (Surat as-Saffat, 171-173)
With Allah's permission, the "party of Allah" will prevail. His
word is true and will most certainly be fulfilled.
