              every difficulty. This fact is revealed as follows:

                  For truly with hardship comes ease; truly with hardship
                  comes ease. (Surat ash-Sharh: 5-6)
                  Only believers are aware of this support and assistance
              granted by God. No matter what they encounter in life, they
              enjoy the comfort and peace of mind of awareness that God
              aids and guards them. God promised to His servants:

                  God knows best who your enemies are. God suffices as
                  a Protector; God suffices as a Helper. (Surat an-Nisa': 45)
                  Disbelievers and hypocrites, on the other hand, harbour
              all sorts of fears. They feel constant concern for they have no
              faith in God, worship others beside Him, and believe events
              happen accidentally. This is, in actuality, a fear God instils
              into the hearts of those who fight against the believers:
                  And when your Lord revealed to the angels, "I am with

                  you so make those who believe firm. I will cast dread
                  into the hearts of those who disbelieve…" (Surat al-
                  Anfal: 12)
                  The help and support God offers to believers lasts
              throughout their lives. Throughout history and in many
              ways has God provided his assistance to believers. In some
              cases, He granted miracles to His prophets, in others, He
              supported Muslims by invisible armies, angels or through
              natural events. Sometimes, even events that seemed unlikely

              to happen occurred. Some examples related in the Qur'an are
              as follows:
                  You who believe! Remember God's blessing to you
                  when forces came against you and We sent a wind
                  against them and other forces you could not see. God
